President Biden and his administration have been responding to dismal approval ratings due to inflation, gas prices, the border mess and other crises by trying to shift blame until something takes. Nobody’s buying the excuses and Biden’s approval continues to drop as his disapproval ascends:

Today's NYT/Sienna poll pegs the national right/wrong track number at a staggering (13/77).
Americans are more pessimistic about the direction of the country right now than they were in the teeth of COVID shutdowns & just after the Capitol riot.

Former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer took the “oh yeah, but…” approach to analyze the dismal polling for Biden:
Lots of tweets about the NYT Poll. Very few of them mention that even at 33 percent approval, Biden beats Trump.

Biden’s terrible numbers don’t matter as long as this White House is able to say “oh yeah, well at least he’d beat Trump!” (He wouldn’t)
It was good enough for White House chief of staff Ron Klain:
The Biden White House’s new motto is “any port in a storm!” Also, who wants to tell them?
Does anyone understand that Biden +3 means Trump wins? https://t.co/2YWsA2eXu4

The fact that tweet earned a Klain retweet sums up just how disastrously things are going.
