Aug 10 - Biden approval rating jumps to its highest level in two months
President Biden’s approval rating rose to its highest level in two months in a Reuters-Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
Biden’s approval rating rose to 40 percent, up 2 percentage points, while his disapproval rating fell to 55 percent. The increase is partially fueled by more Democrats approving of Biden’s job performance. The poll showed Biden’s approval among Democrats rose 9 points from last month to 78 percent. Only 12 percent of Republicans approved of Biden’s performance. Biden’s approval rating in the poll hit its lowest point in May at 36 percent, and it has remained below 50 percent since August 2021, according to the poll. The president’s improved performance in the poll comes as he has attained a series of legislative and other successes. Biden successfully pushed for Congress to pass the CHIPS and Science Act to provide billions of dollars to the domestic semiconductor industry and the Honoring Our PACT Act to expand health care for veterans exposed to toxins and burn pits while serving. The Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act on Sunday after Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) reached a deal on the climate, health care and tax package, and the House plans to take up the bill this week. The Biden administration also successfully conducted a drone strike that k*lled Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al Qaeda and a key planner in the 9/11 attacks, at the end of last month. Democrats are seeking to avoid or minimize the historical trend that a new president’s party loses seats in Congress in the midterm elections and have expressed hope that the administration and party’s successes could improve their prospects in November. Respondents to the poll listed the economy as the most important issue for the 48th straight week in the Reuters poll, with 32 percent ranking it first. The poll was conducted with 1,005 adults and has a credibility interval of 4 point. ![]() |

I'll say this.
Biden admin made mental health services free at county health clinics, if you qualify; under a COVID grant. And I am finally getting long-needed therapy, which is invaluable in ways. So I'm no longer allowed to talk too much ish about this admin. More should look into this, btw, and take advantage. (This is true in AL at least. Sure it's in effect elsewhere as well.) |

I was working then, but uninsured. Just paid a small fee based on income, as you stated. But now there's a questionnaire patients receive that potentially waives all fees, based on the effects of the pandemic. I don't think it's necessarily applicable only to the unemployed. May want to double check that though, but I believe they informed me about the grant before even inquiring about my current work situation. | |

As for Biden's lowest number (36%) it still hasn't gotten as bad as trump's (33%). It has followed the same trend as previous presidents. Where they come in with a high approval then it dips because it doesn't look like they are getting anything done in the first year. Most rebound at some point. Carter didn't. Both Bushes had pretty terrible numbers when leaving office. | |

Yeah it was years of addiction and self-destruction, before even really realizing it doesn't have to be that way. Life can be crazy. Blessings to you, as well.
You do the same, and props. | ||

That's why it always surprises me the attacks some people use against politicians. Why would you not be more selective? Using a metric like gas prices which can go up or down at any time is playing with fire. | |

Retards are really cheering over gas being under $4 but are forgetting that gas is still up a little more than $1.50 overall. But, these people think they're the smart ones. Never mind also that food prices rose while gas prices dipped a little. And that dip in gas prices has nothing to do with Biden and has everything to do with Federal Reserve policy. Again, I don't expect for democrat retards to understand that. I don't fu*k with neither side but at least conservatives/republicans understand that much.
