It is also not disputable that according to the 538 aggregates, Biden is lower than all the rest of the presidents shown.
Of course you can find a poll where Biden is at 33% this many days into his first term. To compare apples to apples, you would also have to check out Trump's poll numbers in individual polls this many days into his first term. The tricky thing is that some polls have D bias and others have R bias, so the lowest polls might not be the same ones for Biden and Trump. This is precisely why James and I prefer poll aggregations like 538 and RCP. Picking out individual polls that validate one's own personal point of view is too easy.

Why do I need to compare Bumble to Trump? I dont give a rats ass what Trump's ratings were. He isnt the president and it isnt a contest. My point was Bumble is doing BAD, I cant think of one single thing he has done that has made anything better. I guess it shouldnt be a surprise though......he did pretty much nothing for around 40 years in politics unless you count fondling women and girls and sniffing their hair.....
As for the poll I quoted, it is widely believed and not disputed by the left to lean left by 3 to 5%.....
