This seems like typical media bias: Democrat Presidents get dinged on unpopularity in polling, and never get credit for economic success. Did any It's like the media actually has an anti-Democrat bias, maybe due to the media being businesses, and recently Republicans have lowered taxes, and stripped workers of protections. A better Yahoo article: https://news.yahoo.com/majorities-poll-biden-trump-not-122420729.html https://news.yahoo.com/majorities-poll-biden-trump-not-12242... in that it considers both parties presumptive candidates.

  "I don't want Biden to run" doesn't always mean people dislike him or wouldn't vote for him. It just means he isn't their first choice, which is what you'd expect for an elderly centrist. He won his primary by being the first choice of a minority of people too. The polls where they ask about Trump vs Biden are more interesting, and Biden seems to be winning those ~43%-41%, which is about what you'd expect from the politically polarized electorate.

Really unsurprising, given how Biden had botched the Afghanistan withdrawal and allowed the Taliban for a victory in taking over Afghanistan and has created yet another war by emboldening Putin to invade Ukraine and sat there and failed to stop him. This is even excusing the amount of chaos he is causing with the rise of prices and inflation that is going on there. Said he 'had a plan' to stop Covid but obviously didn't and did a U-turn afterwards as spoken like a typical politician. The US still has the most COVID deaths and he failed to stop it increasing. I thought Trump was bad, but my goodness Biden is just as bad if not even worse and the US is no better off. It's not early days anymore and enough chances have been given and it is now very safe to say that Biden is not only totally weak and completely disastrous, but is the undisputed worst of the worst presidents I have ever seen. End of quote. Repeat the line.

  Reading your post, are you fully vaxxed and do you modify your behaviour to follow public health guidelines? If not, sorta hypocritical critizing a covid plan you don’t wish to follow. And the previous president would not have lifted a finger to help Ukraine, which would have really uphurt the us’s ability to influence events going forward. Edit: On the whole, the us has had mediocre vaccine rates with large portions of the country ignoring the process. Unless your plan involves using a dart rifle to vax people the covid plan was DOA. What would you have suggested they do? The whole bloody gerontocracy should be put out to pasture and a new set of people in their 40’s and 50’s should replace them.

No disrespect, but he's just really old.
