Voters don’t think Joe Biden and the ballyhooed “adults” who seized power in 2020’s fishy election are all they’re cracked up to be.
The Real Clear Politics average of polls not only shows that 53 percent of voters don’t like the job he’s doing, but also that either POTUS 45 Donald Trump or possible GOP candidate Ron DeSantis will beat the Sleeper-in-Chief in November 2024.
Biden’s numbers will likely worsen, particularly because of the illegal-alien invasion at the border that he has encouraged, and aided and abetted.
Why Republicans haven’t impeached him is a mystery. Then again, if the poll numbers don’t improve, impeachment mightn’t be necessary to remove Biden from office.
The voters might send him packing. Or the Democrat Party will reject him and select a candidate with a chance of defeating the GOP contender.
Biden’s (Dis)approval Numbers
Biden’s job approval ratings are, in a word, disastrous.
Almost every poll since October 2021 shows that voters strongly disapprove of Biden’s performance. And almost every poll comes from the leftist mainstream media.
The latest from ABC-Washington Post showed Biden with a 56-percent disapproval rating. Just 37 percent approved. That’s a whopping 19-point deficit.
Last month, voters who participated in a poll from CBS disapproved of Biden by an 18-point margin, 59-41.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll was similarly depressing for the ice cream aficionado: 54 percent disapproved.
Even the pro-Biden Daily Kos couldn’t come up with a positive rating. Its survey with Civiqs delivered a 54-percent disapproval rating.
Just one poll among the last 10 gave Biden a good grade: 51 percent of voters in a Rasmussen survey approved of Biden’s job performance, against 48 percent who didn’t.
And in July last year, 61 and 59 percent of voters in two polls disapproved of Biden’s performance.
Overall, for polls since April 18, 53 percent of voters disapprove, while just 42.5 percent approve, a 10.5-percent difference.
Trump, DeSantis v. Biden
Those shocking disapproval numbers explain why Biden’s two main challengers in 2024, Trump and Florida Governor DeSantis, might well be headed for victory.
The same ABC-Washington Post survey that gave Biden a 56-percent disapproval rating also gave Trump a 45-39 victory margin in a putative match-up next year.
A Harvard-Harris poll showed Trump ahead of Biden 45-40, while Rasmussen Reports delivered a seven-point margin, 47-40.
Overall, the Trump-Biden polling data show the men just about tied. The RCP average March 12 through May 3 gives Trump a one-point margin, 44-43.
DeSantis fares slightly better against Biden, and holds a 1.6-point lead in the average, 43.7-42.1
But again, the ABC-Washington Post survey delivered bad news for Biden. It too gave DeSanits a six-point victory, 45-39.
DeSantis has bested Biden in six of the last nine polls. Trump has prevailed in just three.
George Stephanopolous of ABC’s This Week called his outfit’s polling data “brutal.”
“Absolutely, George,” political director Rick Klein replied:
And the skepticism over his leadership extends deep inside his own party. Only 36 percent of Democrats think that their party should nominate Joe Biden for a second term.
That grim number isn’t Biden’s only trouble, Klein noted:
58 percent say they would support someone else…. That is despite the fact that the entirety of the DNC, most of the Democratic establishment has rallied behind President Biden. And you see real weaknesses in the coalition that powered Joe Biden to the presidency back in 2020. Biden carried independents by 13 points, against Donald Trump. He is now trailing Trump by nine points, among those same voters.
He carried black voters by 75 points in 2020. Now, Biden is prevailing by just 35. “That may sound like a lot,” Klein explained, “but the fact of the matter is, in modern politics, that is not the kind of number that a Democrat needs to be victorious and that of course, that does spill over into the head-to-head match-up, the hypothetical rematch, Trump versus Biden.”
That same analysis applies to DeSantis vs. Biden.
Border Invasion
The big question for Biden is how bad the numbers can get, particularly with the illegal-alien invasion at the border that, again, Biden is aiding and abetting, an impeachable offense.
Last week, 18,600 illegals surged past Border Patrol agents.
Such is the mad rush to the border in anticipation of the end of Title 42 public-health expulsions, begun by President Trump during the China Virus panic, that Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed a tactical force to stop the invaders.
“The Texas National Guard is loading Blackhawk helicopters and C-130s and deploying specially trained soldiers for the Texas Tactical Border Force, who will be deployed to hotspots all along the border to help intercept and repel large groups of migrants trying to enter Texas illegally,” Abbott said.
The sight of that clash, and Biden’s response to it, might well finish him as a serious candidate in 2024 and force the Democrats to push him aside.
