Or perhaps pretended not to believe.
We Found the One Group of Americans Who Are Most Likely to Spread Fake News
In newly published research, we found that its not conservatives in general who tend to promote false information, but rather a smaller subset of them who also share two psychological traits: low levels of conscientiousness and an appetite for chaos.

And a judge confirmed it in a ruling that said (and I paraphrase) "Nobody in their right mind would think that anything that Tucker Carlson said was true. " And yet wingers believe Carlson and disbelieve everything else. Unless, of course, the "everything else" comes from Cheeto McBonespurs or one of his merry-moron-minions.

On the one hand, the Dems have the repeated pattern of the 1st midterm of a new president going against them. They also have going against them with Biden and the Dems today the pattern of Dems losing significant numbers of congressional seats in subsequent midterms after passing truly great, historic, American life-improving legislation and programs as happened with FDR, LBJ, Clinton and Obama due to the effective demonization of those soon-to-be revered Great American Attributes by America-hating Repubs and their typically supportive pundits in Mainstream Media.
Add to that the extreme gerrymandering by Repubs to create new districts out of the likely Dem new arrivals that miraculously remained predominantly white Repub along with the new rules and laws being passed by Repub state legislatures to grant their loony QAnon overlords the power to throw out all the big city ballots and not count them at all if the outcome of the count does not please them.
So if Repubs never mentioned trendy and temporary sucker culture war issues like "critical race theory" "transgender restrooms" "open borders" "defund the police" blah blah blah at all and if Trump just burrowed into the piss soaked earth outside his Mar-a-Lago bedroom window and kept his pie hole shut until after the first week of November, the Dems would probably lose a significant number of House and Senate seats to fit the pattern and the Repub election rigging. Then the congressional Repubs can start getting used to Biden vetoes of every typically astonishingly stupid thing they try to do to fuck up the extraordinarily strong and healthy economy Biden and the Dems have already locked in for a while.
The same as Clinton and Obama had to do in their last 6 years in office.
But that brings us to the unprecedented Wild Card that throws all the decades long pattern and Repub election rigging results mentioned above into doubt; Trump won't keep his pie hole shut. In their astonishing stupidity, Repubs have coronated Trump as the King of Repub "King Makers". Yes, the one guy who lost the vote by millions in his only two elections, managed to lose the Presidency, the House and the Senate to the opposing Party in just 4 years, the first time that has happened since Herbert Hoover almost 100 years ago, lost virtually every notable special election since he became so-called potus except the one governorship of Virginia election that no one has won for a second term in the same party since the beginning of the country. And whose Gallup Presidential Job Approval numbers were understandably the lowest ever recorded in the long history of the Gallup Polling Service.
And it is that last mentioned and only notable special election loss by the Dems since Trump slithered into the White House 5 years ago and directed all their campaigns and chose all their candidates ever since that Repubs are holding onto with a death grip as a sure sign that they will be hanging ten on the bow of the Trump Titanic next November on a big red wave. LOL. OK. Maybe.

What difference would it make if the Dems lose one or 10 Senate seats, lose the House by 1 or 60 Repub-gerrymandered to disregard all potential Dems districts? The end result will be Biden and the Dems have already locked in more meaningful legislation destined to continue saving the lives of Americans who are not too stupid to accept the free offer, create millions more higher paying jobs and improve America and the lives of Americans more than all the previous Repub administrations and Congresses combined.
Biden's main goal then will be to prevent congressional Repubs from doing something typically astonishingly stupid to fuck it up. Just as Clinton and Obama prevented Repubs from doing that on their watch. In their case, Repubs had to wait until the next Repub slithered into the White House to start doing their astonishingly stupid things to Crash the Economy, the stock market and wipe out millions of jobs.

You see, the "consensus" of polls is how all polling sites judge the accuracy or not in the polls based on the actual election outcome.
Now, if we were to only cherry pick individual polls, you would find many, many instances of Trump's Job Approval Rating hitting 33-34% Approve and 60% Disapprove, not just one rarity like that one for Biden. See how that works against your side?
In the RCP link you provided the consensus numbers can be found by tapping that little three horizontal line "hamburger button" icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
That is where you find that, even with as much oversampling of Repubs as many of RCP's favorite polls engage in, Biden's Job Approval / Favorability Rating consensus today is higher than Trump's was at this point in his presidency, yes pre Trump's Pandemic, higher than Trump's was at the end of his presidency, higher in Favorability than Trump's is today, higher than for Moscow Mitch, higher than for Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy and higher than the entire House and Senate generally.
Yes, higher than Kamala Harris' too!
It shows that Biden is the least disliked and disapproved of person among all current elected federal leadership officials and all living defeated former presidents with the probable exception of Carter.
For anyone citing poll numbers as "proof" of a successful or accomplished presidency, as defeated former presidents go, Carter's exit poll numbers were also better than defeated former so-called president Trump's were. But in Carter's day we really had only a handful of major polls like Gallup to go on, not the dozens to choose from for a "consensus" like we have today.
I wonder what Lincoln's poll numbers individually or in consensus would have been throughout his presidency. I'm guessing any polling service that oversamples the same regional voters who vote Repub today as Rasmussen does had conducted the polling back then, Lincoln's Job Approval Rating would have lingered somewhere around 10% Approve and 90% Disapprove from 1861 until that fateful night at Ford's Theatre. But that is just a guess.

Biden is destroying our country. He has to be stopped.
