From what little cover I've seen on the news it looks like it's mostly Feds and Leftists.

LOL at down 5%.   Are people smoking crack?

Five Thirty Eight Presidential Approval Tracker

Approval rating at inauguration: 53.0%. 

Current approval rating: 47.5%. 

Difference 5.5%. 

Or are you talking about NET approval rating (Approval - Disapproval)?

Biden's Approval Rating Hits New Low of 43%; Harris' Is 49%

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Eight months after President Joe Biden's inauguration, his job approval rating has fallen six percentage points to 43%, the lowest of his presidency. For the first time, a majority, 53%, now disapproves of Biden's performance.

These findings are from a Sept. 1-17 Gallup poll that was conducted after the U.S. military evacuated more than 120,000 people from Afghanistan. The United States' exit from the nation's longest war was marred by the Taliban's quick takeover of most of the country and a suicide bombing at the airport in Kabul, which killed 13 U.S. service members. Over the same period, COVID-19 infection rates, nationally, were surging, leading to hospital overflows in some regions.



The latest drop in Biden's job approval score is the second significant decline since June. Biden's honeymoon ratings near 55% first faltered in July, falling to 50% amid rising COVID-19 cases caused largely by the delta variant. In Gallup's Aug. 2-17 poll, Biden's rating was essentially unchanged, at 49%.

Midway through the most recent poll's field period, as U.S. COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths continued to rise, Biden announced new directives to limit the spread of the disease, including vaccine requirements for private-sector businesses, healthcare workers and federal government contractors.

Except for Donald Trump, every U.S. president since Harry Truman has enjoyed a honeymoon period characterized by above-average approval ratings upon taking office. Biden's recent slides in approval put him in the company of Trump and Bill Clinton, whose ratings were at or below Biden's current 43% at some point in the first eight months of their presidencies. However, by September 1993, Clinton's approval ratings began to recover and averaged 50% that month. Thus, among elected presidents since World War II, only Trump has had a lower job approval rating than Biden does at a similar point in their presidencies.

Independents Show Greatest Decline in Approval of Biden
Democrats' approval of the job Biden is doing has remained high and not varied by more than eight points since he took office. Their highest rating of Biden was 98% in late January/early February, and their lowest is the current 90%. Republicans' ratings of Biden are similarly stable at the other extreme, ranging from 12% in February and July to 6% this month.

Independents have shown the greatest variation in their opinions of how Biden is doing. Biden's current 37% approval rating among independents is his lowest to date and 24 points below his personal high of 61%. Two-thirds of Biden's slide among independents since he took office has occurred in the past three months.



A look back at comparable September approval ratings of Biden's four predecessors shows that his 37% approval rating among independents today is greater than Trump's 31% but lower than Barack Obama's 46%, George W. Bush's 44% and Clinton's 43%.

Biden's 90% approval rating among Democrats is nearly the same as Obama's 86%, as well as Bush's 87% among Republicans. Trump's approval among Republicans was 80%, and Clinton's among Democrats was an even lower 75%.

  I know of some dudes who are literally off the rails out near lynchburg virgina.  I am certain their view have had the feds attempt to infiltrate, and I know Antifa has the leader's address for his hangout/compound.   They do not get infiltrated.  They seem to have married one percenter biker culture to a fight club culture to a pagan religious practice.  If you go there, you must fight, and you will get a complete and thorough background check, while in the deep mountain forests of virginia.  Feds to not bother trying, and antifa has never bothered to show up anywhere near where they ever are.

  Sorry about that was skidding in and back out.  Will sum up.
  Crazy dudes in mountains. 
   Crazy dudes think of them selves as one percenter bikers +
   Fight club...members? +
   Norse god worshippers
Feds would love to infiltrate.  Feds can not.  This is due to whacko by laws and rules in said crazy dude organization.
  Antifa loves to talk about doing things to them.  Antifa flees if there is even rumor of occupying same zip code.

  If these guys were a few goofballs sitting around a fire drinking beers, the feds would be three deep in there, as it always seems the only groups the feds can infiltrate are the ones who are talking a lot (or full blown retard) but doing nothing.   At least until the point a fed manages to talk them into doing something.
  I find it hilarious, that a group of guys who certainly the government finds dangerous (they are extremely anti government, but also say they have no interest in over throwing, just ruling their section of the fallen empire when the USA takes a dump), the government can make absolutely no head way in hanging a charge or instigating any of the more goofy members to do something.

If you only had a brain.

The draft report (assuming it's legit, because I wouldn't trust WaPo to tell me the weather) states that (quoted VERBATIM):
- None of the various systems related to elections had numbers that would balance and agree with each other. In some cases, these differences were significant.

- There appears to be many ballots cast from individuals who had moved prior to the election.

- Files were missing from the Election Management System (EMS) server.

- Ballot images on the EMS were corrupt or missing.

- Logs appeared to be intentionally rolled over, and all the data in the database related to the 2020 General Election had been fully cleared.

- On the ballot side, batches were not always clearly delineated, duplicated ballots were missing the required serial numbers, originals were duplicated more than once, and the Auditors were never provided Chain-of-Custody documentation for the ballots for the time-period prior to the ballot's movement into the Auditors' care. This all increased the complexity and difficulty in properly auditing the results, and added ambiguity into the final conclusions.

But then, none of this bothers you because all that matters is Orange Man Bad.

I haven't read the report yet. What percentage are you calling significant? For example, I note from the summary that Biden's margin changed by +360 votes. However, that's a difference of less than 0.01% of the Maricopa County population.

In most elections, there is always an error rate of at least this percent - often higher. I've been aware of this ever since it was highlighted in the 2000 election.

It should be noted, too, that the draft that WaPo is waving around like a retard is two weeks old.

I'll let you read the report, though.

We all knew this. However if looking at two results which both show Biden won (and that's the case - NONE of the systems showed Trump won) it would be meaningful.

Quote- There appears to be many ballots cast from individuals who had moved prior to the election.

But that's OK too with early voting or with people moving from one location in Arizona to another location in Arizona.

Quote- Files were missing from the Election Management System (EMS) server.

Were they voter files? I've seen no evidence they were.

Quote- Ballot images on the EMS were corrupt or missing.

Pretty normal for some to be corrupted or missing, that doesn't indicate a bad election either. We're dealing with human fairly inexpensive imaging computers performing workhorse duty. The question is if the corrupted and missing image files is outside the norm for those machines from other areas and I have seen zero evidence they are.

Quote- Logs appeared to be intentionally rolled over, and all the data in the database related to the 2020 General Election had been fully cleared.

And that is a bullshit claim. Nobody from the report is claiming intent, that's just you making an argument and trying to pretend it's a fact.

Quote- On the ballot side, batches were not always clearly delineated, duplicated ballots were missing the required serial numbers, originals were duplicated more than once, and the Auditors were never provided Chain-of-Custody documentation for the ballots for the time-period prior to the ballot's movement into the Auditors' care. This all increased the complexity and difficulty in properly auditing the results, and added ambiguity into the final conclusions.

All of which is, again, not alleged to be outside the norm for elections.

QuoteBut then, none of this bothers you because all that matters is Orange Man Bad.

It doesn't bother me because it's just more "if the election didn't go perfect, though no election does, then ever flaw must be assumed to be missing Trump votes and therefore Trump won." Which is nonsense. The report isn't alleging or concluding that.  Even when you spin every question Trumps way (which is also nonsense - all elections have minor errors and they come out roughly 50-50 as to who those minor errors impact) Biden comes out the winner there.
