After the bad August, one month after the Afghanistan withdrawal, basically no change since 30 Aug. The trend seems to be stagnation, Since the end of August. No improvement, no worsening.

Now this probably shouldn’t be surprising. Biden had a steady straight-line approval of 53% from inauguration day until July. Within a point or two of 53%. For the month of September, another straight-line of 46%, up or down one point. The cause is in my opinion today’s modern political era of polarization, the great divide and the super, mega, ultra-high partisanship. Democrats have constantly given Biden around a 95% approval, Republican around 5% give or take a point or two. That leaves independents to move the needle in today’s modern political era. Independents were giving Biden a 52% approval for his first six months, 43% for August and September. Hence the drop from 53% down to 46% overall or nationwide. Independents decide elections these days, it also seems independents also decide approval/disapproval ratings. How the two major parties vote, whether they approve or disapprove on elected officials and issues, policy is set in stone. Independents are now the wildcard and deciding factor.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
