In the run-up to Christmas, as retailers deftly managed through supply chain logjams and Santa fully loaded his sleigh with enough presents to keep kids smiling, Biden’s job approval numbers improved a bit … peaking at 44% approval, 50% disapproval.
Then came omicron and the test kit shortage … and the worm turned again.
According to the RCP poll-of-polls, Biden is now almost 12 percentage points under water … 42.3% approve of his job performance, 53.9% disapprove.
For the record, the 53.9% disapproval is the highest that Biden has earned up to this point in his administration.
=============
Drilling down, according to a recent CNBC/Change Research poll, Biden is deeply underwater on all queried issue areas.
He scores best (err, make that least bad) on Infrastructure (17 points underwater) and COVID (minus 19 and falling fast).
He scores worst on Price of everyday goods (48 points underwater), Immigration (minus 46) and Family economics (minus 40).
==============
Taking another cut at the data, Change Research (CNBC’s polling partner), scores a “Kitchen Table Report Card” by asking people:
Imagine you could grade the Biden Administration’s handling of issues impacting the economy.
How would you grade the Biden Administration’s handling of each of these issues?
> Republicans given Biden straight Fs
> Dems give him a mix of Bs and Cs … averaging out to B- / C+
> Independents give him straight Ds
=============
Just for the record…
On the CNBC poll, Biden scores 38% favorable, 56% unfavorable on personal favorability.
On that same measure, in that same poll, Trump scored 38% favorable, 55% unfavorable.
Hmm.
