Two Polls Show Brandon Got No Bounce From His Slurring, Incoherent State of the Union

On Friday, a very unlikely poll found that Biden had gained eight points in approval, Egg with Legs Chris Cillizza to wet himself in excitement:

"m" points out that Joe's nose looks absolutely rekt in that photo.

A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll suggests that all might be changing. Biden's overall job approval rating among Americans is at 47% in the survey, up 8 points from where he was in the same poll last month.

I didn't mention that because I try not to post bad news late on Friday and also because that poll had the stink of nonsense.

I mean: Eight points? Are you joking?!

Two other polls have now come out which say that poll was, in fact, joking. It was a fluke outlier.

An IBD/TIPP poll finds Biden gained a single point of approval, going from a low of 38% to 39%, owing solely to a gain among Democrats.

An IBD/TIPP poll conducted after the speech on March 1 found that, overall, 39 percent of respondents approve of the job he is doing as president, compared to 47 percent who disapprove.
This is a slight improvement from the 38 percent approval in February's IBD/TIPP poll--the lowest figure since Biden took office.
...
According to the IBD/TIPP poll for March, 74 percent of Democratic voters approve of the president's performance, with 15 percent expressing disapproval.
This is an improvement of 8 percentage points since February, when 66 percent of Democrats approved of Biden.

His approval from independents remains stuck at a woeful 27%. Though his disapproval from independents fell from 55% to 53%, if Brandon wants to hang his hat on that. (Note that the more you slice up a sample, the less likely these numbers are to be meaningful or accurate.)

The Quinippiac poll also finds Brandon stuck in a quagmire called Alzheimer's.

For his overall job approval, Americans give Biden a negative 38 - 51 percent job approval rating with 11 percent not offering an opinion. This compares to a negative 37 - 52 percent job approval rating a week ago.

rhenningantx points out this same poll points out:

As the world witnesses what is happening to Ukraine, Americans were asked what they would do if they were in the same position as Ukrainians are now: stay and fight or leave the country? A majority (55 percent) say they would stay and fight, while 38 percent say they would leave the country. Republicans say 68 - 25 percent and independents say 57 - 36 percent they would stay and fight, while Democrats say 52 - 40 percent they would leave the country.

So you know how much all those Ukranian flags in twitter profiles mean.

Gee wonder what the partisan breakdown of that would be.

151 90 Well,

Might affect social media finances some but unlikely to affect MC and Visa. Russia is just too small an economy and ranks after SKorea in size. It will shrink further from this disruption.

What is more likely is that all stocks sink further because the US is heading into a recession. High oil prices are always a clue plus we now have food prices about 25 percent higher than last year and housing prices have surged. When that happens, generally corporate investment dries up, jobs go away, and consumer demand slumps to just the necessities. Due to our massive debt load, govt cannot now stimulate the economy and interest rates are already at rock bottom and possibly heading up.

It was a silly, enlarged graph showing a steep decline, but it was only a 2 cent drop.

So, in a few week when gas goes down a few cents, Democrats will giving biden fake credit.

279 268 Folks, you will see another bump in prices soon as refineries shift over to summer blends (as useless as tits on a boar hog for anti pollution) in cities. Thus, each city's EPA blend is a bit different than other cities which creates price hikes if anything happens to disrupt flow of gasoline to the pumps in those cities.

359 Biden's SOTU bounce didn't exist, but I fear his Ukraine bounce might. Not because he's done anything, and not because he isn't an incompetent goon, but because war makes a lot of people rally behind the guy in charge.

So the thought goes. But I'd be mighty curious to put that to the test if Trump were president. I'd wager the same hysterical Never Trumpers, including their average citizen counterparts, would light their hair on fire at the coming WWIII vs. support President Trump in the country's time of need and coalescence.

363 Hmmmm. I did not know that. I figured any increase in debt costs would hurt the bottom line of any debt-carrying corp and oil companies would be in that boat.

I guess it would not be ironic if anti-inflation measures decreased the cost of gas though.

Posted by: 496
---------------------
Big companies and big investors have access to hedging financial strategies which us peons don't. BTW, watch for those big company affiliated gas stations offering cheaper gas prices than the usually cheaper indies. Reason is contracts requiring fuel buys from those stations usually limit upside of prices while the indies buy from the spot market. Airlines are another big user of hedging fuel prices with other financial instruments.

364 I was reading earlier today that the are 9000 oil leases.
The new BLM rules require each drilling be approved separately.
So if you need to drop in 3 or 4 wells to see what is in the ground each is its own application now.

PS I read it also been over 30 days since BLM has approved any drilling.
Posted by: rhennigantx at March 08, 2022 02:10 PM (yrol0)

If I understand it correctly, each lease is just that...a lease on the opportunity to search for oil. It does not mean there are 9,000 new wells out there. Maybe, after hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent and a year or two goes buy, one lease in ten will result in a pump being put in.
So essentially Joe lied to us again by omitting a few key facts.

This is true to a point, but domestic conditions have to be at least somewhat okay if foreign policy will reign supreme. Domestic conditions are not very good and people notice it everywhere. It is where the distinction between facts and data comes in. Data doesn't really matter, but facts - facts like unaffordable gas and food - matter a lot.

kraken, one of the easiest ways to stack a poll is to control where you are calling. Want more Dems and dem leaning indies, call numbers in California or Massachusetts, want less, call Alabama. That also goes for cities which are more Dem than rural areas.

Then response bias in answering with widespread call screening and id, pretty much polling is a dying industry. So, the Dem leaning pollsters put them out there for the borg media to add to their narratives. Means nothing much.

Posted by: 496
----------------------
Marcus T or perhaps Joe Mannix could explain it better but airlines use techniques where they basically bet by buying options in a technique known as straddling which limits upsides and downsides of fuel prices--basically a heads I win, tails I win. The airlines by doing that offload their fuel price risks to other parties. That works as long as the airline hedged into the future.

Last time oil went sky high (get it?) Southwest was making money hand over fist while the others were going bankrupt. Why? Because they bought futures waaaaaay out and were protected. Every other airlines didn't do that and were fucked good and hard when oil spiked.

455 364 I was reading earlier today that the are 9000 oil leases.
The new BLM rules require each drilling be approved separately.
So if you need to drop in 3 or 4 wells to see what is in the ground each is its own application now.
PS I read it also been over 30 days since BLM has approved any drilling.
Posted by: rhennigantx at March 08, 2022 02:10 PM (yrol0)
***
If I understand it correctly, each lease is just that...a lease on the opportunity to search for oil. It does not mean there are 9,000 new wells out there. Maybe, after hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent and a year or two goes buy, one lease in ten will result in a pump being put in.
So essentially Joe lied to us again by omitting a few key facts.

On Fox (OK hate on me) an hour ago an oil company exec said the Junta has not been all-in for the past year on approving rights-of-way for roads to the leased lands and approving pipelines on the land and beyond. So Brandon will let you drill all you want if you can get equipment to/from the land across-country and airlift the crude off the lease using helicopters.

They were admittedly back a lot of bad bond debt, to prop up markets during plandemic. But they like to telegraph it to get people back in and buying ... jawboning on interest rate plans is part of their game as well.

501 466 McDonald's pricing is odd. Burgers which are objectively expensive to produce, are dirt cheap. You can still get a cheeseburger for under 2 bucks.

Fries, which are cheap as dirt to produce, are expensive.

They're making their money on the side stuff like nuggets and fries, and undercutting the hell out of themselves on the burgers.

Loss leader plus McDonalds is large enough to hedge on beef prices and does have intl reach on buying it frozen. Beef prices have always been more volatile than chicken or pork because the latter two are more or less raised in confinement. Free range and all that other products though are going to be blow up pricewise.

Organic veggies, maybe not so much as most do not use commercial fertilizer.

Last company I worked for, I started right as it was getting comparatively big, moving from spunky startup to trying to grow responsibly. A month before I started working, the CEO swam across a lake (that might have had alligators in it, no one was sure) to celebrate a revenue goal.

By the time I left, it had been pretty thoroughly corporatized after its IPO. The efforts at loyalty were all but gone, but I suspect that the board had been trying to sell the company to a new majority stockholder for at least four or five years.

----

The basic design is decades old. However, there have been modernisation programs for the plane. And that's really what determines how good a particular MiG-29 is. A comparison would be the modernisation programs that have produced the F-16V and the F-15X, both of which are far superior to the original designs for each plane.

I don't think the latest MiG-29s are *that* good. But Russia hasn't started mass-producing a replacement for it yet.

On the one hand, he's a murderous dictatorial thug who is essentially a mob godfather who is running the world's biggest criminal organization this side of Washington DC, and is almost completely without morals or compunction.

On the other hand, he's good for his country, loves and protects Russia and the Russian people, despises woke SJW crap, has no time for disgusting perversions and sexual freaks, protects kids, and utterly rejects racial politics.

I know Poland is better than most "European" countries but this is a good example of why I have an issue with the US being a global sheriff.

Poland is essentially throwing the US under the bus, willing to make the world got to WW3 instead of them getting their hands dirty.

Bottom line, none of these countries would stick their neck out for the US.

623 @507 How outdated is a MiG29?

----

The basic design is decades old. However, there have been modernisation programs for the plane. And that's really what determines how good a particular MiG-29 is. A comparison would be the modernisation programs that have produced the F-16V and the F-15X, both of which are far superior to the original designs for each plane.

I don't think the latest MiG-29s are *that* good. But Russia hasn't started mass-producing a replacement for it yet.

But Joyless and her Fellow Travelers will not let us talk about black gang wars and black thugs warring on everyone in our homeland. When all you can talk about is foreign white-white wars, that's what you talk about.

716 710 seriously thinking something along that line as well. None of the economic issues can be solved or covered up by November. They will have to be more extreme than the normal October surprise.

718 The fact that he left the rifle and did not bring it along utterly negates it being even mentioned in this. Also its extremely obvious that he did not use the pistol in any remotest manner described, and hence is not even worth mentioning in any sort of indictment.

If I were defending the guy, I would argue that he didn't have the intent to use the gun unlawfully, which is an element of the offense. Most likely, he brought the gun with him to use for self defense, which is not unlawful. However, we don't know what statements he made to cops. Given what we know about how these Jan. 6 defendants have been treated, it is entirely possible that cops tricked him into making some incriminating statements before providing him with an opportunity to consult counsel.

What would be awesome is if we had a giant pipe that could move it from Canada straight to the refineries in the Gulf!

The pipeline runs on electricity so it's zero emissions, same as the supertankers from SA, Venezuala and Russia. They use bunker C electricity.

Publius drinks 2 quarts a day. If we used sugar instead of sugar substitute, it would be hell on his system. As it is, he drinks sugar-sweetened tea whenever we dine out.

DoJ/FiB convinced his teenaged son that his father was a traitor and got him to tape him for two weeks. The kid might be inclined to kill himself once he realizes what he's done, but they got the conviction which is all that matters to them.

732 By the time November roles around (if the world survives that long, not a sure thing) his numbers will be in the single digits, Drooling Joe and his posse of village idiots are doing nothing to curb inflation and after his speech today they have decided to double down on the green marxist agenda.

733 Is this a great country or what. A drooling imbecile with no accomplishments but clearly a crooked politician is celebrated for raising a family of perverts and crooks.

Shows you in America lack of talent, skills, accomplishment, character will not stop you from going to the very top.

We are so doomed.
