Collapse: Biden Approval Rating Down to 28% Among Independent Voters

Just two weeks ago, President Biden hit a low of 38% approval in the latest Quinnipiac polling at the time, a dismal number indicating total and complete erosion of trust among voters. This week, with new numbers, that approval is down one more tick to 37%, indicating we haven’t yet reached the floor, but there is a bigger number that tells the whole story.

Among Republicans, Biden is expectedly running at 3% approval. Democrats still give him 79% approval, a respectable but still low number even for voters in Biden’s own party. It’s independent voters, however, where the collapse in Biden’s approval has turned into a tsunami of disgust with the direction of the country:

Add up the “Approve strongly” with “Approve somewhat” and you get 28% of independent voters offering their approval of Joe Biden. That leaves 56% disapproving, and 16% who are too busy searching empty shelves at the grocery store right now to be bothered answering a pollster.

For the endless talk in 2020 about how disliked Donald Trump was, his numbers don’t even compare to the dislike Americans have for Joe Biden right now. The wheels came off the Biden White House back in July and it’s been a bumpy downhill ride ever since.

The administration continues to flaunt a “let them eat cake” attitude toward the supply chain challenges plaguing the country, calling it a “high class problem” despite obvious implications for everyone if grocery stores can’t keep certain food items stocked.

For weeks now, perhaps months, Democrats have believed that if they can just get one victory, likely from passing something in Congress, they will turn things around. By this point, America has tuned out, and Congressional Democrats are bickering with each other over the size of the infrastructure bill with moderates like Sen. Joe Manchin standing up for some semblance of reasonable debate and fiscal discipline. Left-wing progressives in the party won’t stop pushing until they can bankrupt the country and use this opportunity as a means to enact sweeping economic change.

President Biden seems to be a footnote along the way, a lost individual providing little leadership and even less reassurance to the American people day by day as his crises continue burning in the background.

According to these numbers, more adults have a favorable view of Donald Trump compared to Joe Biden, and independents give Trump a much more favorable nod as well:

Question: Is your opinion of Donald Trump favorable, unfavorable or haven’t you heard enough about him?

Question: Is your opinion of Joe Biden favorable, unfavorable or haven’t you heard enough about him?

If half the media was doing half the reporting of what’s really going on in the Biden administration and in the country at large, these numbers would be half of what they are right now. Democrats want to stand by their president, but they also want to buy groceries and put gas in their car. As inflation marches on and Biden’s economy grows worse and worse, look for even lower numbers when more people encounter empty shelves coupled with an empty suit administration unable to dig its way out of a paper bag when it comes to addressing the serious challenges America is facing.
