Biden's Polls Surge As Republicans Continue To Embarrass Themselves

President Biden's poll numbers are still underwater, but he has seen a surge in support since the midterm elections. His approval rating has gone up five points, while Republicans continue to embarrass themselves following their pathetic midterm performance. This trend could likely continue as Republicans have no real plan to legislate when they retake the House, and that probably won't sit well with a struggling American workforce. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

A remarkable thing has happened with President Joe Biden in just the last month, and that is that his approval rating has shot up by five points since the midterms. Now, his approval rating, of course, is still underwater, meaning more people disapprove of his job than approve of what he has done. So right now he is at a 46% approval rating and a 54% disapproval rating. Still one of the better approval ratings he's seen within the last 12 months, higher than it has been in a year. And again, it's gone up since the midterms. That's quite remarkable, especially considering the fact that Republicans by a narrow margin won back the House of Representatives. But President Biden is the one who reaps the benefits of that. Now, in October, right before the midterms, Biden had an approval rating of 41%. So it's now at 46. Um, in August or June and July, he had an approval rating of 38%.

So it continues to go up. It was slightly taking up, but then in the last month, a five point leap. And what has also happened during that time since the midterm, you know, Republicans took back the house, wonderful for them, right? Actually, it's not because I think that is what is making President Biden's approval rating go up, because what have we seen from the Republicans in the last month? We have seen chaos. We have seen infighting, the likes of which we have not seen within a political party in many decades in this country. You've got Republican against Republican, you've got Matt Gates against Marjorie Taylor Green. You've got a power struggle over at the R N C. Is it gonna be Ron McDaniel? Is it gonna be the frigging pillow guy? Nobody knows. Is Kevin McCarthy gonna have enough votes to become speaker? Are the Democrats gonna be able to sneak in and pick their own speaker of the house, thereby, almost negating the Republican majority?

Who knows? But those are all very real possibilities due to the fact that Republicans can't seem to get their act together like y'all won the house, and you still, you still are sabotaging yourselves on top of that, even outside of the chaos that the public does see, by the way, outside of the chaos, what are you doing? What are you planning to do to make the lives of American citizens better? The answer to that is absolutely nothing. You're going to investigate fauci. You're going to investigate social media. You're going to investigate Hunter Biden, and as many laptops, you're going to investigate everything under the sun, and you're not gonna do a dang thing to actually help struggling

American workers. Biden and the Democrats just might do that. I mean, we can't say for sure. We know they say they want to. What they do when it comes down to it is a different story altogether. But at the end of the day, the American public is looking at the two parties right now. Biden just averted a major rail strike. The public likes that the rail workers don't, they did not get what they needed. It was not a great deal, but it didn't shut down the economy. And that's all the public cares about. They don't care about the rail workers. I hate to say that, but truly they don't. They care about their own financial situation, but they count that as a Biden win. They know that Biden tried to give, uh, forgive student loan debt. They know that Republicans are blocking it. Republicans challenged it. Republicans might take that money literally out of their pockets.
