The Quinnipiac University Poll which came out yesterday asked Americans their views of President Biden's performance in office. His numbers are down across the board from a similar poll taken in August.
Americans' views have dimmed on the way President Joe Biden is handling his job as president, with 42 percent approving and 50 percent disapproving.
Biden is negative on handling the corona virus 48 vs. 49 percent, on handling foreign policy 34 vs. 59 percent, on the economy 42 vs. 52 percent, and on climate change 42 vs. 45 percent.
While 7 out of 10 approve leaving Afghanistan, the manner in which it was done comes up a strongly negative 31 vs. 65 percent.
A majority of Americans (70 percent) say they are very dissatisfied (46 percent) or somewhat dissatisfied (24 percent) with the way things are going in the nation today. Almost 3 in 10 (29 percent) say that they are very satisfied (3 percent) or somewhat satisfied (26 percent).
Congress doesn't win any popularity awards either, if anything they are viewed as worse than Biden. We conclude the nation's overall mood is sour.
Afterthought: You know the proverb “It’s an ill wind that blows no one any good”? When our nation’s “wind” is only “very satisfying” to 3% of us, I’d call our current situation darned “ill.”
