According to <a href=\"https:\/\/civiqs.com\/results\/approve_president_biden?uncertainty=true&#038;annotations=true&#038;zoomIn=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the latest data from Civiqs<\/a>, Biden has managed to get to his all-time low in job approval, as well as states in which he\u2019s appreciated. His 33\/56 is his lowest on approval and ties his highest in disapproval, while only Hawaii and Vermont put him in positive territory.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just job approval, either. While Barack Obama could maintain his likability even when his policies became unpopular, Biden has no such cushion with the electorate. <a href=\"https:\/\/civiqs.com\/results\/favorable_joe_biden?uncertainty=true&#038;annotations=true&#038;zoomIn=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">His favorability ratings<\/a> have fallen to the lowest levels of his presidency at 38\/56, but that\u2019s not the lowest levels Civiqs has tracked for Biden overall:<\/p>\n<p>Biden was much less likable during the campaign. He hit 31\/60 during the New Hampshire primary, his nadir on this measure over the past few years. In fact, Biden was barely favorable even in retirement, as it turns out, and he has been net-unfavorable ever since jumping into the Democratic presidential primary in April 2019.<\/p>\n<p>We should recognize this dynamic. <a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/ed-morrissey\/2015\/03\/13\/wapo-gallup-data-shows-hillary-favorability-plummeting-n196831\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hillary Clinton had the same issue<\/a>; she was relatively popular as long as she wasn\u2019t running for office. As soon as Hillary began running for office, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/the-fix\/wp\/2015\/03\/12\/the-new-gallup-numbers-may-have-two-bits-of-bad-news-for-hillary-clinton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Washington Post\u2019s Philip Bump deduced<\/a> from Gallup data, her favorables became instantly toxic. The dynamic isn\u2019t as pronounced for Biden, but it\u2019s there nonetheless, and it matters in terms of his ability to recover. Obama had a deep wellspring of good faith and benefit of doubt from voters. Whatever amount of either or both Biden had at the beginning of his presidency, he has squandered in Afghanistan and an uninterrupted sequence of incompetencies and failures.<\/p>\n<p>Put aside the approval numbers and check out how bad it\u2019s gotten for Biden on his personal favorability rating. Only five states give him a net positive rating, and one of those \u2014\u00a0<em>New York<\/em> \u2014 is only a 47\/47 tie. (Presumably he\u2019s leading before rounding.) His favorability is negative in double digits among all age demos except seniors (-9), it\u2019s underwater among women (-5), double-digit negative among college grads and non-college voters and only 47\/48 among post-grads. He\u2019s barely above water among Hispanics (+4), and while 74% of black voters see him favorably, the 17% who don\u2019t should give Democrats night sweats heading into the midterms \u2014 as should the 68% of independents who likewise don\u2019t like Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the voters didn\u2019t like Biden all that much to begin with. He was the alternate to Donald Trump, whom voters <em>also<\/em> disliked, and that was the extent of his mandate. Democrats\u2019 attempts to paint him as some sort of long-beloved figure of American politics misses the mark so badly that it\u2019s almost a self-satire. Biden was a means to an end, a way to get past Trump into some sort of centrist caretaker position while both parties got their acts together \u2014 and both Biden and Democrats badly misread the moment. And are still misreading it to this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody do the Joe Biden Limbo \u2014 how low can he go?
