And, the disapprovers have the strongest feelings.
==============
For openers, according to RCP’s latest poll-of-polls:
> 45.6% of American adults approve of the job that Biden is doing … an all-time low
> 49.1% disapprove … putting Biden 3.5 percentage points underwater on net total approval
============
Digging deeper: According to the most recent Washington Post poll:
Back in April, Biden’s net strong approval (a measure of intensity) was essentially a push … … 34% strongly approved, 35% strongly disapproved.
Now, Biden’s net strong approval is underwater by 17 points … 25% strongly approve, 42% strongly disapprove.
The 16 percentage points slide in Biden’s net strong approval since April is evenly divided between a 9 point slip among strong approvers … and a 7 point increase in strong disapprovers.
=============
Consistent with WaPo’s numbers, the left-leaning YouGov poll puts Biden’s net strong approval 15 points underwater.
Digging still deeper into the YouGov poll’s internals…
> Blacks’ net strong approval — while still high at 22% — has dropped 7 percentage points in 10 days
> GOP strong disapproval increased to 80% … and net strong disapproval increased by 4 percentage points to 77%
> While Dems’ net strong approval is still a sky high 48% … strong approval has dropped below 50%’ Said differently, less than half of Dems strongly approve of the job that Biden is doing
> Most indicative politically, Independents’ net strong disapproval increased by 8 percentage points to 31%
===========
Good luck, Joe.
