Biden’s approval rating was now 37% in favor and 60% disapproved, Kornacki noted.

It’s “the lowest approval rating since former President George W. Bush’s second term,” said Welker.

On voters’ confidence in handling the U.S. economy, Kornecki pointed to Trump’s 55% rating and Biden’s 33%.

Edit: here's the MSNBC clip with Kornacki https://twitter.com/MeetThePress/status/1754211558631084417

This garbage article didn't even say who did the poll.

[an NBC person] “Over time, we have been testing for five years now, going back to 2019—a Biden-Trump match-up. Remember 2019, 2020 Joe Biden led. He led big in every single one of our polls. For the first time in November, Donald Trump pulled ahead in our poll. And now, at five points, this is the biggest lead NBC has ever had in 16 polls for Donald Trump over Joe Biden.”

It’s not the clearest, but the information is there.

It's from NBC News...

Poll: 20-point deficit on handling economy highlights Biden’s struggles against Trump. The president’s approval rating has fallen to a new low in NBC News polling, as Trump narrowly leads in a 2024 general election matchup.

So instead of posting that, you posted this trash article? Why?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I read the one I posted first and then found you the NBC News source

How about waiting until you find a non-shit source before you post next time?

Do you want to live in an echo chamber and only hear that everything is roses and butterflies in the Biden campaign? Or do you want reality?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I want you to post sources that aren't shit. Like the second one you provided.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can you provide a list of these Flying Squid approved sources? Huffington Post, no. NBC News, yes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

I literally told you which source was a good source. It has nothing to do with being 'approved,' it has to do with your original source being sensationalist garbage that didn't even say who conducted the poll. Do you really not understand why that's problematic?
