As usual… a hit piece devoid of any actual information. Just more propaganda…
That’s exactly what it is. Their post history is full of almost nothing but this type of nonsense.
I could guess who the poster was based on the headline alone
What a crock of shit
As predictable as ever, the propaganda train rolls on down the line.
While I’m willing to concede that Biden is unpopular now due to recent events, the claim thst he’s the least popular president in 75 years is laughably false.
Newsweek seems to conveniently forget about Trump, who’s currently has 90+ pending criminal charges.
Trump had higher approval numbers than Biden currently does with Democrats
Looking solely at approval rating (% of people saying ‘I approve!’).
If you look at DISAPPROVAL rating (% of people saying ‘I disapprove’) he comes across MARGINALLY better.

I seriously don’t know why you allow this blatantly bullshit type of hit piece here.
The mods aren’t your pet censors.
You just want an enforced echo chamber where things you don’t want anyone to read are verboten.
You know me so well?
Since we’re making observations….
It’s funny how you seem to always show up in defense of OP and their propaganda, but never for those that takes heat from the myriad socialist kids that think they run this place.
It certainly makes one wonder.
It’s almost as though I don’t like punching left.
You should defend punching in ANY direction where there’s bad actors trying to dilute the waters with propaganda.
The fact that people like you refuse to punch left illustrates the facts that it’s desperately needed if we ever want to have a balanced and honest view of how things really are.
Learn nuance. Then practice it.
“Propaganda” is what you call stuff people to your left say.
All you do is punch left while screaming that you’re punching right.
“Nuance” is when everything you want the mods to censor for you is “propaganda”.
It’s not just something that people only to my left say.
Propaganda is something to call stuff that is either a bad-faith half-truth or fully untrue that is created for no other purpose than to route public opinion towards whatever agenda the creator of it intends.
And how many times am I going to have to argue with your little sock puppets over this?
Technically, it’s not incorrect and it’s valuable for people to see what the opposition is saying, we aren’t running an echo chamber.
I wouldn’t expect it to be an echo chamber, but it IS incorrect. And I would think you’d at least shoot for accuracy here. It’s good to know that this community essentially has a “both sides” Fox News-like approach to political news.
The statistic itself lacks nuance and context, that’s where the downvotes and comments come in.
It doesn’t do anyone any good to pretend everything is hunky dory for Biden when it very clearly is not.
I never said it was, nor would I suggest anyone believe as much. But when someone posts nothing but disproven bullshit and overtly biased nonsense….
It absolutely needs to be called out.
The downvotes and comments come for people who are tired of this guy plastering your community with this propaganda.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Biden is set to face off against Donald Trump in November in a rematch of their 2020 race, as both candidates appear to have secured enough delegates to win his party’s nomination.
But with the election just six months away, Biden is seeing a record-low approval rating amid criticism over his handling of issues such as the Israel-Hamas war and immigration.
On Day 1,202 of his presidency, only 38.6 percent of Americans are giving Biden positive marks, according to FiveThirtyEight’s aggregation.
Biden’s handling of the economy is particularly hurting his approval rating, according to a recent survey from the Harvard Center for American Political Studies and the Harris polling company.
Biden has tried to make the case that his handling of the economy successfully helped the U.S. recover from the pandemic, but Americans continue to face high prices and interest rates as well as concerns about housing affordability.
The poll surveyed 1,961 registered voters from April 24 to 5 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
The original article contains 587 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
To be fair, the only people that respond to poll calls are the retirees with land lines that mainstream Faux News all day, everyday. I can say I have recieved a few calls that my caller ID says are political calls and I don’t answer
Pollsters use a variety of methods, and do sampling bias correction.

to be fair
Only a small portion of polling results now come from land lines. All the methodology used in the polls is included with poll results.
Blah blah blah…oh Newsweek, oh Nate Silver-Hillary-is-gonna-win-90%-chance
