Media Can’t Understand Why Biden Is So Unpopular (After Everything They’ve Done For Him)

Over the weekend, CNN ran a segment titled “Why isn’t Joe Biden more popular?” noting that only one president in modern times had a lower approval rating at this point in his first term. That president was Jimmy Carter.

CNN pointed to an analysis by poll aggregator FiveThirtyEight, which finds that 57.6% disapproved of Jimmy Carter 915 days into his term, while 55% disapprove of Biden. At this point, Trump had a disapproval rating of 52.6%. Biden is also far more unpopular than George H.W. Bush (36% disapproval), who went on to lose his reelection bid to Bill Clinton, and Lyndon Johnson (33% disapproval), who decided not to run for reelection.

To say this is baffling to the mainstream media is putting it mildly. For years, they’ve been scratching their heads to understand why Biden has been underwater with voters.

Here’s a (very small) sampling of stories over the year:

  • “How has Joe Biden become so unpopular so quickly among Americans?” — New York Times, September 2021
  • “Six Theories of Joe Biden’s Crumbling Popularity” — The Atlantic, November 2021
  • “Why Biden is so unpopular now?” — Christian Science Monitor, April 2022
  • “Why Is Joe Biden So Unpopular?” — U.S. News, January 2022
  • “Why is President Biden so unpopular?” — Washington Post, July 2022
  • “Biden Has Had a Remarkable First Term. Why Is He So Unpopular, Even With Democrats?” — Newsweek, May 2023

The articles all flop around trying to figure out the answer. The economy is doing so well. Inflation is “coming down.” Jobs are plentiful. Biden passed a huge infrastructure bill. He’s getting tough on climate change.

Even more puzzling is the fact that as a previous CNN poll found, 66% think a Biden win in November 2024 would be a disaster for the country, compared with 56% who said that of a Trump win.

What’s the problem, they ask? Is it just that the country is in a sour mood? Are people being misinformed? Is it somehow Trump’s fault? Is it because of ageism? Or climate change?

Of course, the real reason that media outlets are confused is because they’ve spent the past three years doing everything possible to make Biden more popular.

The real question they are asking with these endless articles isn’t “Why is Biden so unpopular?” It is “How is it that, with all our power and might, we haven’t been able to make Biden a more popular president?”

It’s worth pointing out in this context that journalists never wondered why Trump was unpopular during his presidency. You will search in vain, as we did, for such an article. (The only thing to come close were stories wondering why Republicans still supported the hugely unpopular Trump.)

The M.S. Media should pay big attention to Inflation then maybe that would set into to their small minds. In other news Greta Thunberg just got Fined for Blocking Traffic and Climate Fanatic who tried to use a Karate stance get his arm slapped

US Inflation Rate is at 2.97%, compared to 4.05% last month and 9.06% last year. This is lower than the long term average of 3.28%.

2017 Trump – 1.7%
2018 Trump – 1.65%
2019 Trump – 1.7%
2020 Trump – 1.4%
2021 Biden – 14%
2022 Biden – 14.9%
The facts are clear.
Have you went grocery shopping lately? Those suburban house wives aint buying what Biden is selling, kids grow like weeds and want to be fed 3 times a day.
Look at the price of getting a new outfit to wear, if it isnt the disposable crap at Walmart you see shirts are 80 to 100 bucks now, pants without holes made for you are 80 bucks.
Thats about 100 % increase from the last time I popped into the mall. Lots of empty stores there, entire wings empty.

False.

Inflation rate is the easiest economic “metric” to cook, because the gov decides on what’s in the basket, and what people “need”.

Biden is a disaster.

Typical Democrat performance. They screw things up royally, then cheer a minor reduction of their failure as a great accomplishment. How about the initial act of driving inflation through the roof with stupid economic and energy policies? Unless and until they admit their failures and how they intend to reverse the adverse effects of their policies, one can only assume they will continue to deliver one disaster after another.

If the media covered idiot Biden honestly, his disapproval would be 99%. Democrats (which absolutely includes the lying leftist media) don’t understand cause and effect. They think just putting a Democrat in charge is enough for people. They don’t realize that real people understand where the inflation, shortages, crime and illegal immigration comes from. The correlation between Democrats in power and national disaster. Idiot Biden is unpopular because he is a corrupt, incompetent, lying pedophile.

Biden is currently favored over Trump in the 2024 match-up poll averages, and voters have yet to be reminded what a traitorous slime-ball Trump is by the upcoming trials.

Only by the CCP. Trump, the patriot and success, would trounce idiot Biden, the incompetent, corrupt pedophile in a fair election. That’s why the phony attempts to put Trump on trial are pushed. Complete cowardice. It’s how totalitarian regimes operate. Really something disgusting to support, scooter.

Mr. Grab-em hung out for years with a PROVEN billionaire pedophile. That’s why your PizzaGate nonsense has been shifted from Clinton to Biden.

Nah. A pic, not remotely the kind of client Slick Willy and others were.

Again, arrest them ALL.

Pizzagate has been shifted from Dem to Dem, because they’re ideology encourages it.

Damn Greg no one said Biden went on Epsteins Plane, Clinton ad Gates were frequent flyers even after his prosecution, that Trump assisted with.

Showing up at one of Trump’s hotels and getting a photo is not “hanging out for years”. If this is your actual belief, why don’t you demand the Pedophile Island guest list be revealed?

Idiot Biden IS a pedophile, having forced his young daughter to shower with him, turning her, by her own admission, into a drug and sex addict. Idiot Biden is a disgusting scumbag in addition to a massive failure and criminal while Trump is squeaky clean and a resounding success as President.

2020 and 2022 polls were MORE WRONG than they ever were.

Trump is the front runner. Biden could never beat him in a general election, in 2024, or 2020.

What’s the plan this time?

Fake alien invasion?

More election fraud. Either through manufacturing votes, suppression of voters or prosecuting opponents, more election fraud.

Lets just see what is in Devon Archers testimony.

Like in 2020, Biden isn’t a viable candidate.

He’s just a useful puppet that performs the role for the bribes only.
