Mod: The Rasmussen Poll skews strongly Republican nearly all the time. The second poll discussed below shows Biden at a 62% job approval, which is really good news.MAGA Supporters Furious After Donald Trump’s Favorite Pollster Posts Best Biden Approval Ratings Yet (PoliticusUSAlink): It is very common for political polls to have partisan leanings. So common, in fact, that poll tracking site 538.com handicaps each major pollster by their partisan lead.
For example,
Rasmussen Reports has been assigned a 1.5% mean reverted bias to the right. The pollster was very favorable to
Donald Trump. It was one of the few services to ever show him above 50% at any time in his presidency.
Joe Biden, unlike Trump, has spent essentially all his time in office over the 50% mark. And on Monday, the president hit his all time highest ranking in the right-leaning survey. The site noted, “The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Biden’s job performance. Forty-three percent (43%) disapprove.”
Rasmussen also tweeted, “Reader Update:
President Biden may be on track for his highest 3-day average daily presidential job approval % of his new presidency. Developing.”
The numbers drew immediate condemnation from Republican Twitter. A number of the pollster’s Twitter followers called the information fake and threatened to stop following the feed.
Biden's job approval ticks upward to 62 percent, poll finds (
The Hilllink):
President Biden’s approval is hovering just above 60 percent more than four months into his presidency, buoyed by his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and improving views of the
U.S. economy, according to a new
Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to
The Hill. Overall, 62 percent of respondents said they either strongly or somewhat approve of the job
Biden is doing in the
White House, while 38 percent said they disapprove. By comparison, former
President Trump scored 45 percent approval in a
May 2017 Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.
Biden gets his highest marks for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with 70 percent saying they like the job he’s done so far to rein in the outbreak.
But he also performs well among voters when it comes to his stewardship of the economy and stimulating jobs, garnering 62 percent approval on each front. Nearly as many — 61 percent — said they approve of how he is administering the government.
