President Biden talked about the coronavirus vaccine and his polling numbers in his first appearance on a late night show since he became president.
Appearing via video on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show,” Biden talked about the coronavirus booster shot, encouraging everyone to get the additional dose.
“The way to avoid this virus is to get two shots, and then get the booster shot. It's available, we have the medicines available. It will make a gigantic difference,” Biden said. "It's patriotic to get this done. Not a joke.”
Biden and Fallon also touched on the president’s polling numbers, which have been at a low for weeks due to the pandemic and inflation.
When asked if Biden keeps track of polling numbers, the president jokingly told Fallon “not anymore,” Fox News reported.
"I was paying attention when they were in the mid-60s, but now that they’re in the 40s, I don't pay attention," Biden quipped.
On a more serious note, Biden said his low polling numbers are due Americans' anxiety about the ongoing pandemic and inflation, which he said is “going to come down.”
"They’re being told that Armageddon’s on the way," Biden said. "The truth is the economy’s grown more than it has any time in close to 60 years, the unemployment rate is down to 4.2 percent — it’s going to go lower, in my view.

President Joe Biden has lost the confidence of the public because he's not the moderate voters believed him to be when choosing him for the nomination, Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser for former President Donald Trump and founder of America First Legal, said Sunday.
"No president has lost the faith and confidence more quickly and more totally than Joe Biden has," Miller said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," which was hosted Sunday by Fox Business personality Larry Kudlow, Trump's former chief economic adviser.
"He was elected as the nominee by Democratic voters because they perceived him as being on the moderate flank of his party," Miller added.

Why Joe Biden’s poll numbers aren’t getting any better 21,431 views Apr 20, 2022 In today’s episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza breaks down President Joe Biden’s dismal poll numbers and what they could mean for Democrats in 2022. Young Americans have turned on Joe Biden. That's the shocking finding of a Gallup analysis of its polling over the breadth of Biden's term released this week. In the early days of Biden's presidency (from January 2021 to June 2021), an average of 6 in 10 adult members of Generation Z -- those born between 1997 and 2004 -- approved of the job Biden was doing. During the period spanning September 2021 to March 2022, that number had plummeted to an average of just 39%. Among millennials -- those born between 1981 and 1996 -- the collapse is similarly stark. Biden's approval rating among that group stood at 60% in aggregated Gallup numbers in the first half of 2021, compared with 41% more recently. That loss in confidence among young people was, interestingly, not as steep among older age groups. Over that same period, Biden's approval ratings among baby boomers -- those born between 1946 and 1964 -- dipped by only 7 points. Among "traditionalists" -- those born before 1946 -- his approval rating was unchanged. At the same time, it's clear in other surveys that there has been a significant lessening of enthusiasm for Biden among younger Americans. A Quinnipiac poll released this week showed that just 21% of those aged 18 to 34 said they approved of the way the President was handling his job, while 58% disapproved. By comparison, 36% of Americans aged 35 to 49 and 35% of Americans aged 50 to 64 approved of Biden's job performance. Among Americans 65 and over, 48% said the same.
