Biden Gets His Best Polling News of 2022 From ... Fox News?

President Joe Biden woke up, Sunday morning, to his best polling news in quite some time. And it came from a rather unlikely source: Fox News.

The network’s new survey, out Sunday, gave the president a 47 percent job approval rating. According to FiveThirtyEight’s aggregation of all presidential approval polls, that number is several points higher than any other survey released in the past month, and more than five points higher than Biden’s current average of 41.9 percent. Forty-seven percent matches the number Biden received in the most recent Fox News poll, released last month.

FiveThirtyEight, which tracks the reliability of various pollsters, gives Fox News an A rating — making it one of the most credible in the field, according to the Nate Silver-founded site. So this number could be a sign that the tide is turning for the president.

Well, I'll be damned - Do you hear the earth turning?

1. Thanks so much

this makes the day brighter.

[bigworld]

2. Fox's polling unit is actually very legit

They've always been reasonably accurate.

(It's what the "news" division does with the results that is the problem)

6. That's been my observation as well - they are capable of finding truth, but choose not to express it

[Tommymac]

7. They need to know the Truth so they can lie convincingly.

Truth is simply the unbuttered side of the piece of toast.

10. I agree they do an reasonable job

Polling is hard. Getting a good model and method is harder. I don’t understand why they allow this one to be “news” worthy are while the rest of their media operation is nothing but a smoke, mirror and sexy legs machine.

3. K & R!

[JohnSJ]

4. Actually their pollsters are one of the best around. Their news reporting is what is bad

[forgotmylogin]

13. Isn't that why it was surprising when Fox called the election for Biden

much earlier than anyone expected?

[elleng]

18. Right!

[Lovie777]

5. Which poll will corporate media spout out?.............

hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Tommymac]

9. Actually, I expect them all to note it - 538 is hot outfit with a reputation to protect

and the M$M doesn't want to get on it's bad side come election season.

The 1% needs a fairly reputable 538 if for nothing else then a punching bag to help make their lies convincing.

[reACTIONary]

15. I would guess that....

... F News is corporate media.

[Marcuse]

11. They were the first to call Arizona for us which gave tfg fits.

[SallyHemmings]

12. Ouch

I just fell off my chair!

[liberalla]

14. "could be a sign that the tide is turning for the president... "

While I was watching the near 2 hour press conference, and he was very ably dealing with the journos and their questions, I had the feeling that the tide was or would be changing soon. I remember thinking that, and wondered if other people noticed it too.

[crickets]

16. +1

That news conference was smart, and President Biden handled it very well.

[elleng]

17. FiveThirtyEight, which tracks the reliability of various pollsters, gives Fox News an A rating.

Similar to WSJ, eh? News/reporting good, opinion awful.
