  • A majority of New York state residents don't rate the president's job performance as "good," according to a Siena College Research Institute study released on Tuesday. Just 25 percent of respondents considered Biden's job performance "good" while 38 percent said it was "poor." The commander-in-chief's national approval rating has been in negative territory since August 30 and several recent polls suggest there is not likely to be a rapid improvement as the U.S. heads toward crucial midterm elections. When Siena College, based in Loudonville, New York, asked respondents to rate the job President Biden is doing, 11 percent opted for "excellent." Another 25 percent said Biden was doing a "fair" job while just 1 percent said they didn't know or had no opinion. The poll was conducted from February 14 to 17 among 803 registered voters in New York state and had an overall margin of error of +/-3.9 percent...The poll also asked respondents whether they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Biden and recorded an even split, with 48 percent saying favorable and 48 percent unfavorable. However, the unfavorable figure is the highest in Siena College's monthly poll since the president came to office last year. January's survey found that 52 percent of New York state residents had a favorable opinion of Biden, while 42 percent chose unfavorable. New York has long been a deep blue state and Biden won it in 2020 with 60.9 percent of the vote to Donald Trump's 37.7 percent. No Republican presidential candidate has carried New York since 1984. In California—a state that Biden won with 63.5 percent in 2020—a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll published on February 16 has found that 48 percent of residents disapprove of Biden, while 47 percent approve of the job he's doing. The UC Berkeley poll was conducted from February 3 to 10 among 8,937 California registered voters and had an estimated margin of error of +/-2 percent. In July 2021, the same poll found that Biden had 59 percent approval in California compared to 37 percent disapproval. The state has not backed a Republican presidential candidate since 1988. Although the allocation of Electoral College votes is changing for 2024 based on the results of the 2020 census, New York and California remain the reliably blue states with the most Electoral College votes. California will have 54 votes up for grabs and New York will have 28 at the next presidential election.
  • It's interesting that when he campaigned, he said he would "undo" everything Trump did. So why are his poll numbers so low? He should be enjoying the highest approval rating in history if Trump's rating was so low - shouldn't he? If he "undid" everything Trump did (and he did) he should be standing tall right now. The reason he isn't is that **HIS** poll numbers are a true reflection of his performance - which is the poorest on record. **TRUMP's** poll numbers were influenced by the anti-Trump media - in an effort to force him out of office. In other words, they were **FAKE**. And the worst part is, all of you Liberals were so busy hating Trump for no other reason than you were told to are **STILL** in denial. The first thing Biden did was shut down the Keystone Pipeline to end US oil independence - causing the price of gas to skyrocket. Compare the gas prices under Trump and currently. The average price when Trump left office was $2.38 - now they're around $3.53 - 33% higher. There is no border to speak of under Biden's administration - neither he nor Kamala Harris has spent any time there - why would they when open borders are what they campaigned on. The Afghanistan exit was a disaster that sent a message to the rest of the world that the US is weak and stupid. This would have never happened under Trump - other world leaders respected him. They think Biden is a joke.
