Come back in three years when these polls will actually mean something.Joe Biden has officially served 100 days in office and the approval polls are making the rounds in mainstream media. And despite the constant adoration from the press, the ratings are not great.
President Biden sits at 52% in even the most friendly polls from NBC News and ABC News/The Washington Post. Fox News has his approval rating at 42%.
Commentators were quick to compare the numbers to President Trump’s approval ratings and claim victory, but not one liberal commentator dared to compare Biden’s 52% to that of any modern Democrat – or anyone else who wasn’t President Trump!
The reason why is simple, as the Washington Examiner’s Byron York pointed out: Biden’s approval is the third-lowest since President Harry Truman. Only President Trump and President Gerald Ford scored lower, and of course, Ford and Trump faced a media united to destroy both of them. Biden has nothing but friends in the media, in big tech, and in Congress to tout his success and dismiss any rumor of incompetency.
The NBC/WSJ poll asked Americans they believe the nation is on the wrong track. 56% of respondents said yes. 82% of respondents revealed they believed our country is divided and Biden has NOT brought any unity.
Perhaps the most revealing part of the approval polls were the issue-based questions, especially on immigration. Most Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of immigration by an overwhelming 52-34, and on border security, 51-35, according to Fox News.

IMHO, any poll that shows Biden's approval rating north of 50% is fudged, with a lot more democrats than repubs. It's not surprising that Biden's numbers are better than Trump's after the way the media has attacked and lied about him on a continual basis. True, Biden has favorable numbers on some issues, but sucks on others:

Don't know how in hell 52% approve of his handling of "Uniting the country", he's done nothing but divide the country further IMHO. And I suspect the approval of his handling of the Economy is going to dwindle rapidly. And much of his success with the Coronavirus was in fact more due to what Trump did before he left office; Biden just took the credit.
