What I use as well as all of Wall Street is published by the St. Louis Fed and conducted by The University of Michigan. The parameters and process are well documented.  Here is a link to it.  Basically it shows a huge drop when Biden was elected and bottomed out at 60 just before the election. Then after is has begun to rise, currently at or around 70.  It was bouncing between 90-100 during the Trump term. So, what is your point?

Your link doesn't break down by party affiliation.

Here's two links for you that tell some of the info, I'm sure if you dig you'll find the rest.

Thanks for the link. I prefer thinking of the population in terms of just people. I understand you may not.  I also, try to use more politically neutral polls when available.. Nice info, but I wouldn't die on this hill or try to draw too many conclusions. After all unless you are working a campaign strategy AND have verified their process I do not see the use. 

NOTE: This is a political left leaning one. Fairly accurate but then so was the Iowa lady.  I do read Politico articles (their partner) but others as well.

Excerpt. 
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias.  They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes.  These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation.
