Joe Biden Hits Another Milestone of Pure Ineptitude – Opinion

Joe Biden continues to play approval limbo, and just when you might have thought things couldn’t get worse, they have.

CNN’s new survey has been released. It is kinder than previous polls to Biden. Yet, it shows the president with the lowest approval at this point in a presidency in the survey’s history. He’s now even dipped below Donald Trump, who was in the depths of the farcical Mueller investigation at this point in his term.

Although it is impressive to have a lower rating than Jimmy Carter back in 1978, Biden is the perfect man. The current president is able to make things work despite not being subject to unfair external pressures, such as the Mueller investigation and the Iran hostage crisis. He’s taken a recovering economy and turned in straight quarters of negative growth (also called a recession). He’s caused inflation to explode with his big spending boondoggles. He’s even screwed up every foreign policy move he’s made, from Afghanistan to his recent trip to Saudi Arabia.

It’s been one self-imposed failure after another, and Americans are not letting him off the hook.

This plan of focusing on climate change and abortion has clearly backfired. It is hard to believe that anyone could have predicted this (raises hands) Voters don’t want a president who is trying to fight a progressive revolution for the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Voters want a president with a strong economy that can move the country forward. Few Americans are based their political opinions solely on access to abortion until birth. Many Americans are less concerned about the hype surrounding climate change declarations. This isn’t complicated, though Biden has done his best to make it so.

The demographic breakdowns are also a no-go for the president.

For some reason, African-Americans, who have been hit hard by Biden’s blunders, still approve of him at a 57 percent rate (a really bad rate for Democrats historically), but Hispanics tell a far different story. Only 38 percent of them approve, with 60 percent disapproval. These are historic low numbers and indicate a shift in Hispanics towards Republicans heading into the midterms.

Heck, Biden is now even underwater with white college graduates, though I believe white college-educated women still give him a positive approval rating because there’s just no hope for liberal wine moms.

Biden is in serious trouble. He’s not just a bad president, he’s a historically bad president. There’s no reason to believe he turns it around either. Although he can move staff around, as is most likely after November’s election, Biden remains Biden. Failure is inevitable. The pain will not stop.
