CNN Poll Finds 56% Of Biden Detractors Disapprove of All He Has Done (UPDATED)

Editor’s note: CNN has issued a correction to John King’s coverage of the poll. It did not find that 56% of Americans disapprove of everything Biden has done, it found that 56% of Americans who already disapprove of Biden disapprove of everything that he’s done. See that on-air correction above, and read CNN’s accurate report on the poll here.

CNN’s John King ran through some blistering poll numbers for President Joe Biden on Thursday.

The poll conducted between Jan. 10 and Feb. 6 found “only 4 in Americans, 41% at the moment approve of his job performance” – King started off, delivering the bad news from Biden.

“Nearly 6 in 10, 58% disapprove. That’s a tough number early in a midterm election year for the president of the United States,” King continued.

King later issued a correction to one data point cited in his coverage of the polling. While he initially reported that 56% of all Americans could not name anything Biden has done as president that they approve of — a whopping number — the poll actually found that 56% of those who already disapproved of Biden did not approve of anything he’s done.

CNN notes online that the polling data is from a “random national sample of 1,527 adults initially reached by mail. It’s the second survey CNN has conducted using this methodology. Surveys were conducted either online or by telephone with a live interviewer. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.”
