President Biden finished his first week in the White House with a near-56% job approval, suggesting a majority of people are pleased with his low-key governance compared to former President Donald Trump's provocative populism.
Biden’s job approval stood at 55.7% in the RealClearPolitics average Friday afternoon, with five of six surveys taken since the Jan. 20 inauguration showing the Democrat above 50%. Just one poll, from Rasmussen, had the new president below, albeit still in positive territory — at 49%.
Biden’s initial strong job approval, well above Trump’s mid-40s, first-week average, comes despite questions about the efficacy of his plan to defeat the coronavirus and uncertainty about the pandemic relief plan he submitted to Congress.
Mainstream Presidential polls are not credible because have been discredited again in 2020, not just in 2016.
Mainstream polls are an attempt to manipulate public opinion by relying on the psychological need of many people to feel they are part of a popular or perceived “Winning” group. It has been estimated that fake polls give the beneficiary a 200 to 300 basis point advantage over the harmed party. Polls usually benefit the mainstream and deep state favorite, especially when it comes to the Presidency.
Personally, i measure Presidential performance on the net positive things they have accomplished, not on what some polling company says what other people have said, aka, here-say.
As shown by my informal poll associated with this thread, I have no issue taking the unpopular side, Biden’s side, even though I am a Trump supporter. Again, if Biden performs well, the United States is likely to perform well, potentially benefitting most or all of us.
Ethics, truth, and professional journalism matters. Lies, manipulations, errors of omission, polls, and propaganda are ultimately counterproductive because people tend to not believe “Official” sources even on accurate information. After all, if things are going so well, why does the media feel compelled to lie and distort? The record of their ”Preferred” politician should speak for itself, right?
There are still some people who are able to think for themselves and not allow themselves to be manipulated by fake polls. At least to a degree.
How about you?
