Tiberius Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Quote The White House is no doubt pleased with the latest Associated Press-NORC Center for Politics poll that shows President Biden with a 63 percent positive rating (with 34 percent “strongly” approving of his job performance) and 71 percent approval for his handling of the pandemic. He gets a stunning 62 percent approval from independents and 96 percent approval from Democrats. Moreover, AP reports, “Fifty-four percent say the country is on the right track, higher than at any point in AP-NORC polls conducted since 2017; 44% think the nation is on the wrong track.” Approval on the economy (before last Friday’s job numbers) was 57 percent, although his approval among independents is 47 percent (versus 50 percent disapproval). https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/05/11/biden-is-popular-success-depends-economic-results/ 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he took holy hell when he did. Hindsight on these things is 80/20. No one had a clue and most were guessing. Some got it right and some got it wrong. But to blame that on Trump is just playing partisan politics. Look at the difference in how certain states that handled it here. Those that locked down tight (i.e. California) and those that played loose (i.e. FL) have had almost identical results. DeSantis is loved in FL while Newsom may lose his job in CA. And both thought they were doing it correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "moderate" put in front of the voters. He's no more making key decisions on policy and actions than the Queen of England is ruling the UK. As VP Harris is doing nothing much than taking a few meetings and standing by to break any tie votes in the Senate its a mystery who is really running the executive branch of our government.

dpberr Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I think that's going to be his high water mark. He's no more competent than Trump was. While Trump's incompetency resulted from the endless chaos and hubris, Biden's comes from inaction and fear of making a mistake. I don't think this administration realizes the danger of the inflation, the shortages of nearly everything and the shortage of people in the workforce. There's also the border which hasn't improved and the violence in Israel and Afghanistan. I thought Biden would do ok so long as nothing major happened, and he didn't go out and start anything. If you're expecting decisive, shrewd action, don't hold your breath. His still wearing a mask like it's a safety blanket tells you a lot about the personality in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China was in check, and inflation was not like now. Gas was low. South Korea looked hopeful. Iran was not getting pallets of cash and pissed. Not perfect...but way better than the current s&%t show.

Trump did that. Trump also handed out free money in the form of stimmy checks, PPP, etc to the masses. You seem to be trying to imply otherwise. What did you want the Fed to do about the markets? Let them crash? During a pandemic? Read your own article, it was the worst dip since '87. I personally think Trump is a POS, but so are most politicians. I also think he did ok by the economy during the pandemic. Edited May 12, 2021 by Tenhigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Not a fan of the spending in general. OK with infrastructure but needs to be pared back. Needed to help bail out with the pandemic but that should have been targeted to small business and unemployed people. I do think it’s time big corporations paid taxes but would prefer just a flat tax of around 10-15% with all loopholes removed. When is either party going to actually tackle the deficit?

SCBills Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Can’t imagine his approval rating stays above 50%. (Unless these polls stay heavily slanted towards Dem sampling) 1) It was taken during his first 100 days. Most Presidents, sans Trump, have had decent approval ratings at this point. 2) The media can’t ignore inflation, gas shortages and commodity prices, like they did the border. People who are apolitical, and/or don’t follow politics too heavily, feel what’s happening right now. Atlanta, Greenville and Charlotte residents have been rationing gas for the past few days. And while that’s not Joe Biden’s fault, it has now opened up those people’s eyes to his energy policy and increasing gas prices. Housing prices, used car prices.. again, things the media can’t hide from the average American. Biden is a like-able person, and that’s helps, especially when juxtaposed to Trump, but he’s also incompetent - with bad policy. Aligning with teachers unions and approving CRT are, again, issues that average Americans are exposed to. Media can’t hide from the public what they personally feel. I expect the jobs reports to improve once states start removing the unemployment juice, but if somehow we stay struggling, he’ll be more underwater than Trump ever was.
