President Biden’s policy agenda is incredibly popular, much more popular than his opponent’s. But Biden the man? Not so much.
The question now is whom to blame for the approval gap between the president and his agenda: voters, the media or Biden himself.
Democrats have long argued that their policies are more popular than those of Republicans. In a recent blind test conducted by YouGov, that was unmistakably true. The polling organization asked Americans what they thought about major policies proposed by Biden and Donald Trump without specifying who proposed them. The idea was to see how the public perceived ideas when stripped of tribal associations.
Biden’s agenda was the winner, hands down.
Of the 28 Biden proposals YouGov asked about, 27 were supported by more people than opposed them. Impressively, 24 received support from more than 50 percent of respondents.
Biden ran on a bunch of popular proposed policies, but then got into office and suddenly a lot of those policies “weren’t practical”. My point is that I don’t care about what Biden says, his actions speak much louder.
Okay, I was linking polling about actual policies that were passed and implemented though, and those were popular with people.
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/biden-promise-tracker/ Honestly, for a politician, that’s a pretty high follow-through rate. If his term ends and all the stalled and in-progress convert to compromise or failed, hes still gonna stack up pretty good.
28% may look low without context, but compare it to previous single term presidents… and if he gets a second term, he’s on track to do very well.
Biden pivoted to the big money donors.
FDR, the greatest president, welcomed the hatred of the superrich. That’s when the Dems had 80% of the Congress, and presidential term limits were first introduced to defend the ultrawealthy from another FDR.
So FDR welcomed the hatred of his domestic foes, the superrich. Biden is a back slapping whore who wants to be loved by all, because he isn’t decisive, and lacks a clear vision for America. He’s a third way triangulator. He can’t figure out why no one likes him when he tries to cater to two political groups that despise each other and have opposite policy preferences: the poor and the working class on the one hand, and the superrich on the other.
Yes, that’s what happens when you give a party the slimmest margin of victory possible (50/50 in the Senate), and then 2 of the senators end up being corrupt traitors. His agencies have been making good decisions. I am not a young man and these last few years are the first time I’ve seen the federal government make actual pro-worker and pro-consumer decisions.
