    As usual… a hit piece devoid of any actual information. Just more propaganda…

    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.

    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.

    Notables:

    Truman - 56%
    Nixon - 66%
    Carter - 55%
    W. Bush - 61%
    Trump - 62%

    Biden? 62%

        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.

        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.

            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.

    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
