Can Biden overcome his low approval ratings, à la Obama and Bill Clinton? Not likely

Can Joe Biden successfully reboot?

It’s possible; approaching their successful reelection campaigns, both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton also faced poor ratings. But their low ratings were not as low as Biden’s. He heads into election season with the lowest approval ratings — 41 percent — of any president going back to the 1950s, according to Gallup.

Only 46 percent of the public thought Obama was doing a good job in January 2012; by Election Day, his approval had jumped to 52 percent, and he easily beat Republican Sen. Mitt Romney.

Bill Clinton, too, was in trouble at the start of his reelection year, with job approval at only 46 percent; by November, that number had ticked up to 54 percent. Clinton was handily reelected.

What helped both presidents turn their fortunes around?

Obongo was never this low. Clinton got this low during lewinsky but the economy was still pretty good and he wasn’t a dementia patient.

And they ran against Romney and Dole respectively for their second terms. Biden will be running against Trump. And Trump fights and fights back.

“... he easily beat Republican Sen. Mitt Romney.”

Yeah, like that was difficult. Pierre Delecto was a mark waiting to be grifted.

Long term memory is seared into people’s brain. It is hard to change people’s perception in less than six months. If his campaign hasn’t made made great strides in doing that by the end of May the election is lost.

If you step back and look at the big picture....

We want the Democrats to be on the wrong side of a major issue where 90% of the public disagrees with them. We want them forced to publicly defend their piece of muddy ground every day. We want the mass media to insist on defending it as well—to totally discredit all major media.

There is such an issue.

Biden’s fitness for four more years.

We need Biden to remain the candidate.

He is our strongest issue.

Be sure and tell any online or other pollsters you support Biden. We need to prop up the senile fool to make sure he is on the ballot in November.

Illegal Aliens is just as strong of an issue now that the sanctuary cities are being faced with the issue point blank. Doesn't really matter which commie the dems put out there, this issue needs to be hammered home relentlessly.

The more it's put front and center, the more the country understands the changes necessary to fix the issue, and then comes the realization that the dems just want to make matters worse via illegal aliens and have no intention of fixing what they see as a benefit for their agenda and hold on power.

It doesn’t matter what your approval rating is if you’re a RAT. All you need to do is count enough ballots.

He doesn’t have to run the way Clinton and Obama did, because the deep state will let him run the way Maduro and Khamenei do.

Don’t worry, they will engineer a Floyd-type event to rally the voters they are losing.

Illegals will be voting and nobody will know if a ballot came from a citizen or non-citizen. If you question it, you are questioning the secret ballot foundation of “democracy”

Trump will have some convictions and the IG report on the classified documents will be timed for maximum impact.

There is no shortage or tricks (aside from the usual vote by mail fraud) they will be using to ensure Biden has the appearance of a win.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. That’s the problem with dementia, isn’t it?

Biden’s last physical exam was Feb. 16, 2023, when his doctor wrote
Biden was a “healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male” who was “fit for duty.”


Then special counsel Hur came along and said Biden was so kindly and forgetful,
“demented,” and could not possibly be held accountable for mishandling classified documents.

Biden then went into his “dementia act” his usual ploy to get sympathy as the poor, bereaved father,
pretending he could not even remember the date of Beau’s death. It worked on the Delaware suckers, for years without fail.


That was yesterday.

Joe is now in full-blown campaign mode. Joe even bad-mouthed EV’s that
he once used billions of tax dollars to promote.......when he was demented.

Well, it’s now campaign season, not like when Hur tried to put Joe in jail.

Joe can safely put his “dementia act” away for another day.

Today, as a 2024 candidate, Joe is a hale and hardy, “trusted beacon of Democrat leadership.”

Temporarily.

Dominion Voting systems and 20 millions illegal aliens say, “Yes.”

Very interesting. I was telling my family yesterday that May would be very important, especially how Americans feel about the economy then.

Illegal aliens is a 60 percent issue.

Biden’s unfitness to serve is a 90 percent issue.

Both are solid but Biden’s senility is obvious to just about everybody.

Large parts of liberal Whitopia in the suburbs and exurbs have never even seen an illegal alien.
