President Biden Approval polls creep Up….

According to the FiveThirtyEight average, President Biden’s approval rating is now above 40% for the first time since October.

…

At this stage of the race, Biden’s team is probably focused on many different elements of voters’ views of the President. However, addressing voters’ concerns about the President’s age is undoubtedly near the top of the list. The speech and Biden’s ad campaign were designed to address that issue head-on.

A recent Morning Consult poll shows that Biden’s State of the Union made progress doing just that. According to the poll, the number of voters who say Biden is “too old” dropped by 3 points, but there was significant movement among Democrats (9 points) and Biden 2020 voters (8 points).

This is all good news. Biden’s path to victory begins with winning back his 2020 voters. Trump’s advantage in the polls is entirely because he is winning a higher percentage of his 2020 voters. In the New York Times/Siena poll, Trump has the support of 97% of voters who say they voted for him in 2020, while Biden only has 83% of his 2020 voters.

.Navigator Research did a post-SOTU poll that found:

Seven in ten Americans engaged with the State of the Union this year and a plurality viewed it positively; nearly three in five who watched at least part of the address were positive about the speech…..

The Right leaning Real Clear Politics also has Biden at 40.3% approval….
