The Washington Post spotlights President Biden’s rapid RISE in the polls after making himself a lame duck in office….
President Joe Biden’s decision to end his 2024 campaign could wind up being one of the best things he ever did for the Democratic Party, if Vice President Kamala Harris can win the presidency.
It might also have been one of the best things he’s done in a long time for views of Joe Biden.
A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Tuesday shows Biden’s approval rating rising from 41 percent in late June, shortly before his fateful June 27 debate with Donald Trump, to 48 percent today. While Biden was more than 15 points underwater in his approval back then, his approval rating is now nearly even with his disapproval rating (49 percent).
Those are Biden’s best numbers in Suffolk polling since he was inaugurated in January 2021.
It is but one poll, and the evidence of an image bump for Biden is mixed so far, with some pollsters (Reuters/Ipsos, YouGov and Fox News) showing his image relatively static in their most recent surveys.
But it’s not the first poll to suggest he’s rising and seeing some of his best numbers in years….
