“You don’t get sub 40 approval ratings without losing large chunks of your base. And that’s what’s happening here,″ Micah Roberts, partner at Public Opinion Strategies, the Republican pollster for the survey, said in the write-up. He called the data “distressing numbers for a president facing reelection.”
Jay Campell, a partner at Hart Research Associates, the Democratic pollster for the survey, said the numbers among young people, black people and Latinos “are very troubling” for Biden. The survey of 1,001 Americans was conducted from Oct. 11-15 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
