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.
What you’re not seeming to take into account is that every democrat I know has issues with Biden but since he is a career politician we know he’s capable of putting knowledgeable people in places he doesn’t have expertise in, which is what a competent leader does (which means I can’t even mention trump, doesn’t come close). The right doesn’t seem to understand you can get your ideas and policies across without full complete love and support for the candidate. He’s not the Dems supreme leader like the right has where everyone has to bow down, it’s a system and he’s just a head to rally behind while others get stuff done.
