Ron Klain spins (BADLY) the latest awful polling on President Joe Biden – twitchy.com

As we told you earlier, new polling out on President Joe Biden is just plain AWFUL.

From Axios:

• 69% say economy is “bad”
• 65% say Biden is “slow to react” when issues arise”
• 63% describe state of the country as “uneasy” and “worrying”

Tough Biden poll from CBS News:

• 69% say economy is “bad”
• 65% say Biden is “slow to react” when issues arise”
• 63% describe state of the country as “uneasy” and “worrying” https://t.co/V4abLwfMHp

But to White House chief of staff Ron Klain, we’re the ones missing something:

“I hate to spoil the narrative but this poll shows @potus approval rating moving up, and solid public confidence on the two biggest problems he inherited: COVID and jobs.”

Yeah, but does it really? Those gains are withing the poll’s margin of error:

“Nobody believes what you are selling here,” Ron. “Narrative or not”:

Nobody believes what you are selling here. Narrative or not.

At what point does the president realize he’s not being served well by the senior people around him? Not today, apparently:

If you’ve wondered why Biden has never attempted a course correction, his COS is arguing a poll showing

📊 69% think the economy is bad
📊 70% disapprove of his inflation handling
📊 81% think Biden doesn’t “care a lot”
📊 62% describe Biden as “ineffective”

Is actually good. https://t.co/POfLzG1DvU

And EVEN if Klain is somewhat right, this still isn’t good news for his boss:

“ACKSHUALLY Americans are only severely displeased with the president, as opposed to completely outraged.”
