Regarding Bidens Approval. Math Doesn't Add Up If Up To 80 Percent Of Us Are Angry Over Economy. Is It Really 37 to 40%?

[My_Chinchilla_Is_A_Racist]

anyone else see it this way? weeks after weeks, we see polls saying that 75 to up to 80% polled are very concerned over the economy/inflation. Most americans are voting accordind to this issue. So how can Biden have a 40% approval if even 70% of us are pissed!
maybe some of us here can explain? or is it the polls taken by staunch democrats?

Nah, it will never go below 40%....It's like the myth that 92% of blacks vote for dems.

 

[Oddball]

Grade inflation meets politics.

You are doing the math incorrectly

80% concerned for the economy + Mail in voting = 49.99% concerned.

Or maybe it should be

80% concerned for the economy - Mail in voting = 49.99% concerned

My bad.

That is why I hate math

Inflation is world-wide; looking to GB where it is higher the short-term conservative leader was chased out of her job after cutting taxes of the wealthy.

The GOP (what a joke) has not one iota of policies to end Inflation, they don't speak about it, and that's do to the fact that inflation cannot be dropped to 2% the minute they are in power.

It's the anti-social media, such as this message board, whose members have not noticed the Biden Administration as well as The Fed are doing all that can be done - and much better than the rest of the world.

Polling is just as susceptible to being manipulated as social media. We all know how many bots and trolls there are on social media.

well maybe the leftist pollsters are calling dead or comatized democrats?

 

[Mac1958]

I'm not happy with the economy because of inflation, but I know that getting here took a group effort over several years.

Anyone who blames a President or a party for something this complicated, this global, is either flagrantly ignorant or completely lost in a partisan ideology. Or both.

but but Trump was responsible for covid, the Jan. 6th erection and stuff.

 

[My_Chinchilla_Is_A_Racist]

if internal and painful hemmorhoids were global, does that mean all our our hemmorhoids here are global and its not Bidens fault?

Uhhh… because most people understand that there is little any president can do to actually change economic conditions.

Joe Biden's managed to disprove that theory.

Isn't he amazing?

I think most of us are not single issue voters.

i am assuming that at least 90% of normal people know that if Biden just left things alone from our 75% approval Trump, we would be hopping and so would europe

 

[JGalt]

How so?
