Hello and welcome to the Byron New York Show, the No-Chit Chat Podcast.

We'd like to get right into it and what we're going to get into today is the 39.9% President.

President Joe Biden's job approval rating has slipped below 40% again in the real clear

politics average of polls. As of this moment, as we speak, it's 39.9% versus 54.4% disapproval.

Now, he's been under water and the polls for a long time. That's really nothing new.

The last time in the real clear politics average in which Biden had an approval rating higher

than his disapproval rating, in other words, in which he wasn't under water.

The last time he wasn't under water was a Reuters Ipsos poll from December 17th, 2021.

Of course, it's now June 2022. In that poll, December 2021, Biden had a job approval rating of 48 with a disapproval rating of 46.

So he wasn't very far on top of the water, but he was. So last time he was not under water was December 17th, 2021.

Now, the last time, the last poll in which his job performance won the approval of a majority of Americans,

not just being his head of the water, but actually with a majority of Americans approved, was a Politico Morning Consult Survey from August 16th, 2021.

August 16th. At that point, he had a job approval rating of 51% versus a disapproval rating of 46%.

So he has not had a majority of Americans approve of his job performance since last August.

And it's now June. So we're coming up on one year of Americans disapproving of Joe Biden's performance.

And in any event, those days in which a majority approved the president, they are gone.

It's entirely possible. Should say this need a caution. It's entirely possible. The president's job approval rating will nose above 40%.

It has done that before. It's dipped into the high 30s and then managed to get up above 40 again. So that that might happen.

But he seems mired in a world in which about 40% or less of Americans approve of the job he is doing and about 55% disapprove of the job he is doing.

That's not really good territory. On the other hand, how could it be otherwise? I mean, how could it be otherwise?

With prices rising 8.6% on an annualized basis in May. How could that? How could it be otherwise?

Price of groceries up 11.9% gas up 48% used cars up 16.1%.
