Biden's approval rating has been low and I don't understand why. Like objectively, why are his ratings like 8 to 10% lower than Obama's or Shitler's at this point in his presidency. Why is that? I mean, objectively, his presidency has not been a disaster. I am looking for answers that would mean exceptional problems, because his approval rating seems exceptionally low. We aren't in a war, the economy is booming (much better than the rest of the western world), unemployment is low, his office acts with dignity. I am not looking for partisan asshats to speak nonsense, like the nation is descending into chaos because of immigrants or such nonsense. I am looking for tangible reality-based reasons for this historically bad approval rating. The way I see it are the following: 1. hyperpartisanship getting worse 2. his age 3. Gaza war The biggest negatives over the past couple of years-his failure with the student loan forgiveness and abortion rights I blame on Republicans. read more
