Biden wasn’t elected because he was Biden. He was elected because he wasn’t Trump. His popularity was destined to wane for that reason alone, not to mention the facts that he’s always been terrible at articulating policies, he’s never been a uniter, he’s clearly not what he used to be (or needs to be) mentally, he botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan and, rather than admit the error, he doubled down on the “logistical” success, he’s governing like he has a far-left mandate despite the fact he won only 51% of the popular vote and the senate is 50/50, there’s a still-minority-but-vehement backlash against the government dictating medical care, and he’s too old, frail, and out of it to be out front as an effective leader. Put all that together with the worst inflation we’ve seen in 30 years and government spending that is mind blowingly out of control and yeah, it’s probably because the media has written a few headlines that focus on the costs of his policies.
