In the Bloomberg survey, a large share of the respondents voiced concerns with Biden’s age and a significant percentage said Trump was dangerous, and suggested the number of “double haters”, as pollsters call voters who approve of neither candidate, is significant.
Those findings were broadly repeated in Saturday’s Times poll. Biden’s approval rating came in at 38%, with Trump faring better with a 44% favorable rating.
Nineteen per cent of voters said they disapproved of both men, but among them Biden is slightly less hated, with a spread of 7% between Biden (38%) and Trump (45%). That spread, according to the Times, is significant: the candidate less disliked by “double haters” has won the last two presidential elections.
Honestly, I’m not sure how to feel about this. I’d bet dollars to donuts that a good portion (albeit not majority) of that figure is made up of hogs who hate him because he’s a Maoist-Obamaist Chinese sleeper agent who is bribing immigrants with gold bars to come attack poor defenseless cops and bully small town teachers into spreading le wokisme and LGBT ideology. So entrenched is the spectacle and distortion in American society in part because “the economy” is doing fine relative to the past few years. The genocide in Palestine has this caveat that while many Americans are coming to see Biden as the out-of-touch ghoul he is (albeit not nearly enough to convince radlibs that he isn’t worth voting for), the Right has also been having a field day by framing him as impotent against hordes of “Hamas supporters” supposedly from within his own camp.
Not to about it, just saying we need to rein in our expectations since the Left is still weak.
Do any leftists actually think this is a sign of a strong left? I thought it was pretty clear that Biden is just hated by most normal people
This, but I should hope that people on this site already know that Biden’s getting destroyed in approval does not mean that there’s any strong left in America, or that the Trump hogs haven’t increased in number and fervor.
