This will show proof that CNN and Fox News think you’re stupid.
On Sept. 7, CNN had 49% Biden approval. On Oct. 13, after the sharp decline in Biden’s overall approval, CNN showed 50%! On Sept. 15, Fox showed 50%. On Sept. 11, The Hill had 54%. WTF!
Reuters/Ipsos (Oct. 14) is another establishment poll which is always biased. It has Biden at 47%, with 15% approval from Republicans! Compare it to Quinnipiac’s 3%.
The Oct. 18 Quinnipiac poll has Biden approval at 37% (see below).
Civiqs is an online national and state demographic survey. Biden is at 39% (see trend below).
We have the latest CNN internals. As usual, CNN underweighted the percent of Republican respondents and manipulated the poll shares to derive the bogus approval rating. All unbiased (and biased) observers should know by now that it is standard operating procedure for the media to rig pre-election and exit polls for the Democrats. For those that still don’t see this: wake up and do the math!
The following steps show how CNN may have derived 50% Biden approval, given the average current 43% Biden approval rating.
Step 1: Start with the consensus Biden approval using 2020 National Exit Poll Party-ID
| Actual % | NEP party-ID | Approve | Disapprove |
| Dem | 37 | 86 | 14 |
| Ind | 26 | 35 | 65 |
| Rep | 37 | 5 | 95 |
| Total | 100 | 42.8 | 57.2 |
Step 2: Adjust Party-ID
| Adjust 1 | CNN Party-ID | Approve | Disapprove |
| Dem | 35 | 86 | 14 |
| Ind | 36 | 35 | 65 |
| Rep | 29 | 5 | 95 |
| Total | 100 | 44.2 | 55.8 |
Step 3: Adjust approval shares to derive bogus 50% CNN approval.
| Adjust 2: Final CNN | Party-ID | Approve | Disapprove |
| Dem | 35 | 88 | 12 |
| Ind | 36 | 45 | 55 |
| Rep | 29 | 12 | 88 |
| Total | 100 | 50.5 | 49.5 |
| Quinnipiac | Party-ID | Approve | Disapprove |
| Dem | 29 | 79 | 11 |
| Ind | 47 | 28 | 56 |
| Rep | 24 | 3 | 95 |
| Total | 100 | 36.8 | 52.3 |
| Reuters/Ipsos | Sample | Pct | Approval |
| Dem | 418 | 45.7% | 81% |
| Rep | 398 | 43.5% | 15% |
| Ind | 98 | 10.7% | 34% |
| Total | 914 | 100.0% | 47.2% |
