Biden Up

I grabbed a snapshot of a Wall Street Journal survey that I thought was the most interesting part. First, it is undoubtedly good news that Biden has finally pulled ahead of traitor trump in a hypothetical head-to-head where the lead is greater than the margin of error. Note that in March, the two were tied, and as I have written in several other posts, traitor trump was actually comfortably ahead of Biden in serval earlier polls — inexplicably.

Second, it is also bizarre that voters pretty much see Biden and traitor trump as equal in job performance. This I cannot explain. I’m not sure how people can witness the disaster that was the traitor trump presidency and the undeniable rocky start to Biden’s presidency and conclude their job performance is roughly the same. Whatever! I give up trying to understand how the average person “thinks.”

But that brings me to my last point. Apparently, people don’t think, manifesting in the final data point: Question 14. I am tempted to conclude that people’s evaluation of traitor trump’s job approval changed, but it is rather challenging to make such a determination with too much confidence, given the limited ability to make such an inference based on the figures reported. It is difficult to say if the five basis point swing in traitor trump’s job approval between November 2021 and August 2022 is a consequence of sampling or a true reflection of people’s change in perception. Five points might suggest a true shift in perception, in which case I ask how and why? It’s not like he’s still performing his job duties. He is just as much of a loser president now as he was then, so I’m not sure how or why people’s evaluation of his job approval would change. But it seems to be possible. Is this a historical lensing shift, so to speak? That is to say, is there some sort of relativistic change in perception occurring? Perhaps the poll should have asked if traitor trump is more of a moron now than before. Maybe that is the underlying question people were actually answering in their response.
