The Hill has put a story out that Biden's approval numbers have dropped below 40%.

That contradicts the story that I saw yesterday that his approval numbers climbed to above 45%! Thus the reason I don’t worry about poll numbers. I trust Biden to his job in the best possible way. If I believed in poll numbers? Biden would have “the best poll numbers ever”(cough, cough )! And according to Fox and other news outlets claimed Trump had nearly a 80% approval poll among all voters and we all know that is further from the truth. This game of poll numbers are only a tactic of the news to drag the country in a downward spiral. I get it that poll numbers are important to some, yet the polls are basically what they want them to be. You can take 10 Republicans and they would give a really low numbers and the same amount of Democrats give a high number. After the tally that high number is erased hence a totally low number. It works both way when you reverse the Democrats and Republicans tallying. Biden had a mess plus is still working thru Trump’s issues and I believe Biden will prove these polls wrong! I will stand behind him even if the numbers were even lower! Anything is better than Trump or any other GOBers!

Oh wait, how many million more Americans have jobs since Biden got elected?? Never mind.

3. Agreed. Poll numbers aren't a measure of Biden's performance, but a measure of how the virus of

Republican lies have spread.

Biden has built the best jobs market in American history.

It's all about inflation, which should start to be mitigating in the next few months.

6. A fox news poll, which is rated very high showed 45%.

7. The 40% pollis an outLIA(R).

8. There was an interactive YouGov poll Wednesday that had it at 53%

but of course, when you are participating in a YouGov poll, it tells you that the "live" results don't represent the conclusions of the poll. They have to add in all of the trends and historical data before they give you the poll numbers. But two months ago, the "live" result was 43%. I don't understand all the "trends" and historical data calculations, sometimes I think that's to deliberately skew the results. If 53% of the people in a random poll check the box that says "I approve" or "I strongly approve" of the job President Biden is doing, and there's 2,500 random people in the poll, I'd say that's an accurate representation of how people are feeling.

The other issue with the polls is that if you look on the composite lists, like 538, there's a whole long list of polls with "adjusted" differences. Some of them are rated as "A", some "B" and they tell you how many respondents and whether they were registered voters or likely voters or adults. I averaged the "likely voter" responses in about half a dozen polls from last week and came up with 47%. I know that's not the "scientific" way polling data works, but it sure makes me wonder why the news media picks the lower polls with the fewest responses when there are several others that show much different results. Money? Or just their attempt to control the narrative?

I notice Trump disapproval is regularly in the 65% range, with more than a 30% difference from approval.
