Steve Doocy Impressed With Biden’s ‘Doggone High Approval Ratings’: ‘His Economy Is Working’

Steve Doocy found it interesting that President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are as high as they are despite the country’s ongoing state of division.

The second hour of Fox & Friends on Monday began with a review of Fox News’ poll numbers on Biden’s first 100 days in office. The data shows that even though Biden faces a majority of disapproval on topics like guns, immigration, and border security, he’s seeing approval on health care, the economy, and the coronavirus, plus Biden’s net positive of 52 percent puts him above the ratings Donald Trump had at this point in his presidency.

As they pored through the data, Fox & Friends slammed the Biden administration’s various policy agendas while insinuating that the president completely failed on his pledge to reunify the country. Ainsley Earhardt underlined that by pointing to an NBC poll which found 82 percent of Americans say the country is “totally divided.”

“He said he was going to unify our country when he ran,” she said, “and he has done everything but that.”

Eventually, Doocy got around to saying that “ultimately right now Joe Biden has pretty doggone high approval ratings. His economy is working. His advisers feel that at this point in time, he has the opening to raise taxes. They boiled the Biden formula down to this: talk like a rosey bipartisan, but act like a ruthless partisan.”

Brian Kilmeade reluctantly admitted that Biden’s approval ratings were “better than Donald Trump’s, but Donald Trump had this fake Russia scandal around him and all the controversy with the election because Hillary Clinton still hasn’t admitted that she lost.”

Doocy’s response:

I suggest that he has got pretty good poll numbers because when you look at the number that Ainsley gave about the number of people in this country who are polarized and not united…If it’s 80 percent says we are a divided nation, and have you got anything in a majority, given the climate, that’s pretty good I think.
