Confidence in Brandon continues to evaporate.

“The erosion in Biden’s approval rating has been across the board among key demographic groups, including Black respondents (from 64 percent approve in January to 62 percent now), women (from 51 percent approve to 44 percent), Latinos (from 48 percent to 39 percent) and independents (36 percent to 32 percent).”

“Seventy-one percent of Americans said they believe the nation is headed on the wrong track, versus 22 percent who said they believe it’s headed in the right direction, which is unchanged from January’s poll.”

“Sixty-two percent of respondents said their family income is falling behind the cost of living; 31 percent said they’re staying even; and 6 percent said their income is going up faster than the cost of living.”

“Asked whom or what they blame the most for inflation increasing, a plurality of Americans — 38 percent — pointed the finger at Biden”

“Asked which one issue — reducing inflation and improving the economy, or working to end the war in Ukraine — should be Biden’s top priority, 68 percent picked inflation/economy, versus 29 percent who picked the war in Ukraine.”

“Twenty-eight percent in the poll said they have either a “great deal” (12 percent) or “quite a bit” (16 percent) of confidence in Biden’s ability to respond to the war between Russia and Ukraine and manage the crisis.

That’s compared with a combined 71 percent who said they have “just some” (27 percent) or “very little” (44 percent) confidence in Biden — including 43 percent of Democrats who said they have just some (36 percent) or very little (7 percent) confidence.”

Trump's approval rating in the same poll: 36%.
Funny you should mention that. Check out the right track-wrong track numbers. And the handling of the economy numbers.

Despite peace, prosperity, and low inflation in 2018, Democrats picked up 41 seats in the House in the 2018 midterms. And then in 2020, Trump lost his re-election bid.

Today America is facing raging inflation that is hitting everyone hard at the gas pump, the grocery stores, the auto dealerships, restaurants, the housing market, rent payments, and utility bills. At the same time, a solid majority of Americans don’t believe the president is mentally fit to serve. The VP isn’t exactly inspiring confidence either.

No matter how you spin it, this poll is VERY bad news for Democrats and for the President.
 
Polls lost all significance during the W Bush years, then became important again during the Obama admin. During Trump’s tenure they were less tenable, and now they’re reliable again. I sense a trend.

If designed properly, public opinion polls provide a snapshot of public sentiment. The results of this latest NBC News poll should not come as a great surprise to anyone who follows current events. I do understand why those sympathetic to Democrats and the president prefer to downplay its significance however.

And right-leaning pollsters are more believable than left-leaning pollsters, am I right?

The best pollsters are those that try to exclude bias. NBC News leans left, the polling firm they used is Hart Research. You can make your own assessment of the methodology.
