The bad news is this is an NBC poll conducted by Mark Murray and Hart Research and Associates. They are notorious for manipulative media polling.

The data within the poll, which is skewed to try and assist the left, shows the nation overall has abandoned Joe Biden and the Democrat Party in a big way.
71 percent of Americans now say they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, up 8 points since August. That includes 93 percent of Republicans, 70 of independents and even 48 percent of Democrats. Beyond his catastrophic approval numbers, 50% of Americans polled say Joe Biden is incompetent / 37% view him as competent.

Only 27% of respondents said they would immediately vaccinate their children with the untested COVID vaccine. That makes a political issue even worse for Democrats.
