It might be wise to put on a hardhat before proceeding so you’re not struck by any parts of President Biden’s rapidly falling approval numbers, according to Pew Research:
Biden’s job approval/disapproval in this same poll was 55-43 (+12) back in July.
Now, it’s 44-53 (-9). That's a 21-point swing downward.https://t.co/GNbcIikZfb

Here’s some further detail:
New Pew Poll: Biden lost 18 points in his job approval rating among Blacks in last two months, 16 points among Hispanics, 14 points among Asians. Only 8 points among Whites. pic.twitter.com/DKInKlGw7D

Joe Biden's job approval is 44-53 in the new poll from Pew. He was 55-43 in Pew's July poll, so this is a shift of -21 in two months. This follows yesterday's Gallup poll which had his approval at 43-53. If Biden's rebounding, Pew and Gallup don't see it. https://t.co/XlOAsaETVF

“A 21-point shift in two months”? Ouch!
A bare majority still approves of Biden's handling of COVID, but he's in arrears on the other issues Pew tested: -3 on the economy, -9 on foreign policy, -13 on immigration, and -22 on united the country. If his COVID numbers keep dropping, watch out. pic.twitter.com/oQSrBTYFho

Biden's losing ground on personal qualities, too. The Economist/YouGov poll was showing this in August, but it's not as bad in Pew. The mental sharpness number is not good however you slice it. pic.twitter.com/Br0xORkPIp

Biden's strong disapproval number runs ahead of his strong approval number in Pew, just as it does in almost every other poll that breaks that info out. And look at the erosion on issue approval and personal qualities. Egad. pic.twitter.com/OoPEJzowhK

Forty percent of respondents think Biden's policies have made the economy worse. Only twenty-six percent think they've made it better. That is not what you want to see if you're Biden and Team Donkey. pic.twitter.com/NugzMrguzA

Afghanistan will fade from the headlines, but whenever they're reminded about it Americans will think Biden screwed it up. That's the kind of thing that lingers. pic.twitter.com/lol1Pqpfjs

Biden and Democrats deeply, desperately need a win. But given how the legislative process is playing out on the infrastructure deal and reconciliation, there aren't any wins arriving anytime soon.

So how have the Biden White House and Democrats followed up this news? By smearing border patrol officers. Good luck with that.
Turns out leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan and not answering for it was a bad strategy. https://t.co/6URywP9Y56

If only there were like, 40 years of signs that this is how he would be president.

No mean tweets though.
He's been in Washington since Watergate. And he's trying to top it.

Consider that Dems are grossly oversampled and his real numbers are in the 30s.

No public events today for President Biden, so he must not be too concerned about his plunging approval numbers. https://t.co/gsq2dpEoUb

And when he does have an event the White House won’t let him take any questions.
Wow. Red alert for Biden… or is that a life alert? They’re falling and they can’t get up! https://t.co/4K1PBINMxB

And yet somehow this will stay out of the mainstream news cycle who would pound Trump's approval numbers nonstop for four years.
