Ok….
This isn’t a revelation I agree….
The people over FiveThirtyEight do a piece on the current American political affairs which seems to be a bit more strident than usual….
Biden’s overall approval ranges from the mid 50% to 60% right now….
Republicans don’t like President Biden very much. Among Republicans, his approval rating sits somewhere between 10 and 20 percent in most recent surveys, and his disapproval rating hovers between 75 to 90 percent.
On the one hand, there’s nothing that unusual about members of the other party holding disproportionately negative attitudes about the president. Democrats similarly really disliked former President Trump. Biden’s topline approval rating also isn’t that bad — he’s currently at 53 percent approval and 41 percent disapproval, per FiveThirtyEight’s presidential approval tracker — thanks to positive opinions of the president among Democrats (overwhelmingly) and independents (albeit marginally).
Yet, there is something different about GOP opposition to Biden, something that has only emerged as a trend in recent years: Most Republicans don’t just disapprove of the job Biden is doing as president — they stronglydisapprove of his job performance.1
We looked at presidential approval polling data from the first six months of presidencies dating back to George W. Bush and found that, compared to Bush’s early tenure, fewer Americans from the opposing party are lukewarm in their disapproval of the president. Meanwhile, the share of respondents who say they strongly disapprove of the president has trended upward during Trump and Biden’s time in office. Consider that only around 3 in 10 Democrats strongly disapproved of Bush during the first six months of his presidency, but more than 6 in 10 Republicans have expressed strong disapproval of Biden over the first roughly five months of his time in office….
“This isn’t a revelation…”
No it’s not.not even newsworthy.
Republicans are against a Democratic President?
Who’d have thunk?
And if there was a Republican President ,Democrats would be against him/her.
Next…
He, he, he
I SAID this isn’t rocket science
You’re both missing what would be a nuance had the piece not said so explicitly.
It’s not that members of the opposition party necessarily disapprove more in numbers with the sitting President, but how strongly they do which has changed: a greater proportion of those opposition-party voters disapprove strongly of Trump or Biden than disapproved of previous Presidents.
Yea DSD…….
On a third look
Ur Right
Trump effect i would assume
