Sometimes they say people are down, but they’re not out. That phrase usually applies to hero protagonists encountering missteps or adversity along the way to great achievements in the end.
So far, that’s not the story of the Joe Biden presidency. Not only is Joe Biden down, but at some point, his own party might declare him “out” as well.
The latest numbers from Quinnipiac find a brand new all-time low for President Biden, inching closer to literally hitting the twenties:
President Biden’s approval rating is at an all-time low, according to a new Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.
When asked if they “approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as president,” 33 percent of respondents said they approved, 54 percent expressed disapproval, and 13 percent said they didn’t know or had no opinion.
Biden’s approval rating previously hit 33 percent on Jan. 12, 2022, though his disapproval rating at the time was only 53 percent.
As noted, Biden did previously hit 33% approval back in January, but his disapproval number wasn’t as high as it is today. What this means is that between now and January, even with a much-lauded (by sycophants) State of the Union address, more people now disapprove of the job Biden is doing today than they did 3 months ago. Many analysts said back in January that Biden was hitting a low point, and surely the Spring months would bring improvement. Not so.
What about other presidents during this same time in their first term? Surely Donald Trump was polling worse than Biden, at least Democrats can hang their hat on that! Well, no, they can’t:
At the same point in his presidency, former President Donald Trump’s approval/disapproval spread was 39-55, according to Gallup. In April 2010, former President Barack Obama stood at 48-45. George W. Bush, still riding the wave of post-9/11 unity, had an approval rating of 75 percent, while only 20 percent of respondents disapproved of his job performance.
Biden’s doing worse the Trump, Obama, and Bush 43. Keep this in mind every time you hear the White House Presse Secretary try to spin reality and give Biden accolades for the hard work he’s been doing despite all these bad world events around him. No one, not even rank-and-file voters of his own party, thinks Biden is performing his duties at an acceptable level.
Perhaps more alarming for Democrats, though, is Biden’s 26% approval among Hispanic voters in this poll:
???
The latest Quinnipiac poll finds Joe Biden with a 26% approval rating among Hispanics — lower than his rating among whites.

That is seismic in terms of what it means for Democrats in 2022 and 2024. They are losing minorities because they’re focusing on left-wing agenda items that few voters actually support or prioritize.
The price of gas is going up and has been since last year, yet Biden blames Putin. Biden also blames Putin for inflation, another barometer that’s been on a record pace since last year. Did Putin cause a labor shortage last fall by trying to impose a vaccine mandate on businesses with more than 100 employees? No, he did not. Biden’s failures have nothing to do with Russia and Ukraine.
Whoever is around Biden, telling him to keep blaming everyone else for his shortcomings, should be fired. There have been no pivots or changes in policy, no movement toward the middle, nothing in terms of new leadership. There continues to be an attitude of doubling down on failure and blaming everyone else. That will be Joe Biden’s legacy. The swampiest of swamp creatures.
At this rate, Biden should be kissing 29% approval by June. Maybe the mysterious flying corn was up to something.
