How Has Joe Biden Become So Unpopular?
The New York Times ^ | Sept. 4, 2021 | Jamelle Bouie

President Biden’s job approval rating is on the downslope. As of Friday morning he was at 45.8 percent approval and 48.5 percent disapproval — from a high of 54 percent approval, 41 percent disapproval at the end of his first 100 days.

There is a laundry list of reasons for this. Not only is the United States still in the grip of a pandemic, but also the Delta variant of the coronavirus has led to record infections and deaths in Florida, Texas and other states with relatively low vaccination rates (and where officials have taken a stand against mitigation efforts). At the same time that Delta took hold, Biden also faced a huge backlash from the press and his partisan opponents over the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, which began in chaotic fashion with the collapse of the Afghan National Army, the subsequent advance of the Taliban and of course the suicide bombing in Kabul that killed 13 U.S. service members.

Once again let me take the time to thank the voters of Delaware for 40+ years of enabling this perverse buffoon and his corrupt family !

Biden’s career explicitly shows why the 17th Amendment should be repealed ! State legislatures could not do worse !

Term limits would help, must that wouldn’t solve the 100 + year old imbalance between that states & the federal government caused by the 17th Amendment.

He was popular among blacks, largely because he was Obama's Veep.

I don't know if he was "popular". Maybe he was respected. Or recognized. So they voted for him. But it did not necessarily mean he was popular. Other candidates had nothing compared to Biden who was Obama's Vice President so he had milked that for all it was worth.

Hunter Biden is being groomed by dad for high office on the “My Sperm Count is a Proven Winner” campaign slogan.

OTHERS SAY Hunter is SOL........a Space-Occupying Lesion of a different pathology ...........more of a malignancy, an abscess on the body politic.

Biden is irrelevant. Every thread and second spent pontificating about him is a waste of time and energy.

Time better spent figuring out who installed him and who is actively working to destroy the country.

Every second spent worrying about Joe Biden is exactly what those people count on to do.

The Leftists are focused on the Revolution. Biden is just a means to an end for them. His incompetence is actually a plus for them in getting their agenda through.

I'd argue the leftists are tools for more nefarious characters, as they've been throughout history.

People seem to be pretty dang predictable.

Whe Biden ran for president prior to 2020 he received 1% of the vote. He was never popular. Never. This past election there was massive voter fraud. He has sown to be a puppet. The democrat party and others holding the strings.
