In the poll of 802 American adults nationwide, 48% approved of the job Biden is doing as president, up a point from the first quarter. But his disapproval numbers grew to 45% from 41%. The biggest change came in views on his handling of the coronavirus, where approval dropped 9 points to 53%; Bidens economic approval fell to 42%, a decline of 4 points, or just beyond the polls 3.5-point margin of error. I think it all comes down to COVID, said Jay Campbell, a partner at Hart Research Associates and Democratic pollster for the survey. If the COVID situation had continued to improve the way it was improving in the first quarter, all of these numbers would look very different. And ultimately, someone has to be responsible for that. And right now its Joe Biden. The presidents ratings declined along with worsening views on the economy and the virus. The poll, conducted at the end of July, shows 51% of the public pessimistic about the economy and the outlook, the highest level since 2015. Just 22% give the economy positive marks and are optimistic. --- "We'll never see Day-Lewis and Kubrick, or Kurosawa and Eastwood, but we have seen Bale and Nolan, a cinematic dream pairing come to life!" ...
