Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record. Assuming Trump is the Republican nominee, 2024 will not be a normal reelection cycle for three reasons.

How pathetic is it that we are forced into a situation where both candidates suck ass. Let me vote harder for shit to get worse either way.🙄

Yay, more “both sides” bullshit!

Yup, Biden is absolutely the same as Trump. Nothing progressive has come out of his administration at all.

I’m not giving Biden a full pass, but inflation has struck across the globe. Why do you think we would be special?

There’s a land war on in Europe, and another more recently in the middle east, tech is still confused about how to deal with a post COVID world, and just laid off hundreds of thousands of employees, refugees from climate crisis and political unrest are fleeing across the Americas, Asian and Europe, nationalism has been on the rise for nearly a decade, and here at home the GOP is in a true state of crisis, as their old guard evil white guys are dealing with the insane fascists new guys.

The world is crazy right now, but eggs are expensive, so fuck voting I guess.

I’ll agree when he doesn’t put out an economic plan that isn’t means tested garbage. Didn’t do shit about student loans either. So yea for the average middle class person they both suck ass.

Are you in favor of a flat tax too?

Didn’t do shit about student loans either.

All student loan forgiveness has been by executive order, thus Biden is literally the only person who has ever done anything about student loans
