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.
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.
