Good morning, Professor! This is exactly what Biden is trying to do, bring everyone together, create jobs (which he’s done), stimulate the economy, in spite of inflation which he nor the Dems are responsible for. He has called out the world’s biggest enemy as a murderer, creating genocide. He is absolutely correct. I used to get mad at him for being what I thought was a loose cannon, when he spoke. I do not think that anymore. He is our century’s replica of FDR. He is juggling buckets of issue…

“He is juggling buckets of issues and is doing it quite well.”

He’s doing the best he knows how to do under trying circumstances.

Doing quite well? The majority of those polled do not seem to agree.

From NBC

“And during the nation’s largest inflation spike in 40 years, overwhelming majorities said they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and disapproved of the president’s handling of the economy.

Those are some of the major findings of the new national NBC News poll, which found tha…

Polls measure perceptions, not necessarily reality. People expect instant solutions to long-term problems, as if there is a "magic pill" that will fix an economy that has been sliding towards disaster for decades, and very nearly reached that point during the last administration. The reality is that there are no magic solutions, and sometimes we have to make sacrifices to resolve our problems. The other issue is that the President is dealing with a sharply divided Congress, and Republicans who…

I think you nailed it. People have become so used to instant gratification and on-demand that they think that is the way the world works, and it doesn't. Biden inherited a mess and he's trying to clean it up. The Republicans ... I don't know. They just seem like a depressing bunch. You would think all their money would make them happy, but it doesn't seem to be working. What a waste of resources. Also, I think people rely too much on polls and not enough on their own observations. Joe Biden is …

Joe Biden is a decent person but he’s not an inspirational leader. He’s no Churchill, no Roosevelt. He’s not even a President Obama. He just can’t seem to get Americans to rally around the flag.

More of a Mister Rogers gone to Washington.

When he kept repeating time and again that Mitch McConnell was his friend and believed that Manchin could find him ten good Republican Senators, I knew that he was living in an alternate reality. Not in todays bare knuckle brawling political world.

Voted for him…

He’s far more capable and knowledgeable than anyone gives him credit for. Look what he restored with our European leaders? A consensus after TFG tried to destroy years of work. People on a steady diet of Fox have no idea what the truth is. He is not senile, but he is old. His cognition is intact, and I wish I had half his energy. We are so lucky to have him. No one else could have done what he’s done with an obstructionist GOP. The media indeed needs to report the successes. They won’t garner near the attention that negative stories do, but it’s true that hearing it often enough causes it to be accepted.
