Biden is at his lowest approval number yet — 38 percent. "These new poll numbers are frankly brutal for the president," CNN anchorJake Tapper
The 38 percent approval is perhaps the best news in the poll when looking at how Americans see the president's performance on individual issues. "Brutal" is almost a generous way to describe it.

On his handling of the economy, which was in the midst of a V-shaped recovery when Biden took office, he's 16 points underwater (39 percent approve, 55 percent disapprove).

Biden is at 32 percent approval with independents, the people who decide elections in battleground states such as Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada.

On taxes, the president is 17 points underwater.

On the southern border, where the U.S. is on pace to eclipse 2.3 million people crossing illegally this year, he's at 23 percent approval

On Biden’s job as commander in chief of the U.S. military, 37 percent approve and 58 percent disapprove

On the question of whether the administration — not just Biden — is competently running the government, just 42 percent say it is doing so.

Afghanistan has faded from the news. The COVID-19 picture is improving. And Biden's approval rating ... has NOT rebounded.
And that's where it's hard to see how Biden, who turns 79 years old next month, turns this around by making his arguments on how to fix X, Y and Z and beyond.
His handlers apparently remain petrified to allow him to speak beyond reading off a teleprompter

 
What is amazing to me or maybe not is the fact that even with bad numbers on every issue, NOTHING dissuades them from changing course on any policy they have or how much money they want to spend. They govern like they have a 50 seat majority in the house instead of 3 and a 10 seat senate majority instead of a tie. It is clear evidence that they are hell bent on doing what they want and couldn't give a crap about what America wants. Power and control, baby.

Good point. I honestly think the people that handle Joe don’t care. I think they view this is their one and only best chance to transform our country into something it’s not. I also don’t think they know how to handle government and are not very adept at it.

In essence, what we are seeing in both the House and the Senate, is a three party form of government. You’ve got conservative Republicans, you’ve got moderate Republicans and Democrats, and you’ve got liberal Progressives that borderline as socialist. Given that there’s no wonder nothing is getting done because the two extremes, particularly the socialist, will not compromise with the moderates. They simply trying to use fear, fear of getting primary attack, to try and force the moderates that are Democrats to vote the way they want them to. You might be able to get away with that with a 30 seat Majority but not with a threes seat majority..
 
It's unlikely Independents decided elections in GA, PA, MI and WI. Trump won these states on election day. It was the days after when Democrat controlled vote counts miraculously found Biden votes to put a stiff over who drew dozens to rallies in Scranton and Phoenix, many wearing MAGA hats.

Clearly I agree with you. There’s just overwhelming evidence statistically and otherwise that the election was stolen. I think with her whining about is the fact that it’s going to be hopefully impossible to hide the steal this time.

IMO they are just going balls out knowing that this admin is a one and done, so who cares.

Short sighted of course as this will also cost the party credibility.

Agreed, I also don’t think they have the political ability to push these things through because their party is divided and they just don’t have enough of a margin for that. Which is a good thing.
