Which is one big reason why Biden's polls are so horrific presently (high inflation, negative wage growth, very serious concerns about the future including cost of living; so he's getting the blame and is viewed as being not very competent).
- UncleOxidant 5y agoYes, in many ways this is feeling like a re-run of the late 70s. Biden has done a competent job, especially given the hand he was dealt. But the electorate is blaming Biden for a lot of things that are outside of his control - this inflation, for example, it's mostly due to the pandemic, but the trade wars started by the previous president would have led to inflation even without the pandemic. Russia invading Ukraine seems to rhyme with the Soviet Union invading Afghanistan in 1980. Carter was not to blame for the latter and neither is Biden to blame for the former, but there was and will be political fallout.
