Biden is in pretty good health for his age. Probably gene-related.
You, umā¦
Remember the ride in The Beast to go wave at his supporters outside Walter Reed?

I havenāt heard about crowds of Biden supporters cheering him on from outside the white house, but i really hope it didnāt happen because that was just weird.
Also, Biden doesnt have many supporters these days. 
Why would he? Even hyperpartisanship has its limits.
anyone democrat but Biden seems to be the bipartisan opinion
Not mine. Iād much rather see Biden run for re-election than see Kamala Harris run. And itās not clear which Dem would run if not Harris.
Iād prefer Amy Klobuchar, but I doubt sheāll run.

why would you want Biden?
Better than any of the other realistic options. Certainly better than Trump, DeSantis, or Harris which seem like the only likely alternatives. Heās the least bad of the bunch.
Biden is hyperpartisan? Heās old and dull but i thought has not really rocked the boat much which i think is why people voted for him.
I guess he takes credit for good things and deflects on bad things which is an every politician sorry of thing to do. Compared to the rhetoric of his predecessor where things are the best/ greatest or the worst/ disaster based on party affiliation, he seems quite mild.
All of the republicans immediately reject anything he proposes, so he must be hyperpartisanā¦

Most opinion polls still have him with a significant majority of Dās supporting him.
The Rās are nearly universally against him and the Iās are where the change occurs.
Republicans are hyperpartisan. Even like 8-10% of democrats would give Trump an approval. Biden was one of the most moderate candidates from the democrats. His policies are not extreme.

Well this is after super high inflation which everyone is blaming on Biden. Before that Rās were a little higher.
Here is a graph I got from Reuters:

Yeah, I thought he was elected because he was NOT hyperpartisan.
Biden is basically a republican, like Hillary
But her emails.

People wanted Biden in 2020 because he was-
- Not Trump
- Bland, boring, and safe, after a boisterous Trump. No crazy agenda.
Now that we havenāt had Trump for a few years, people donāt want Biden because he-
- isnāt seen as a strong leader. Afghanistan bungle broke a lot of goodwill and he was very unapologetic about it.
- Inflation and what seemed like strong denial and lagging delay in addressing it
- Gas prices. These soared. Biden cancelled the Keystone pipeline. It wouldnāt have helped yet since I donāt think it was supposed to be operational until 2023 at the earliest, but to the lay person there is a huge cause and effect there.
- Baby formula fiasco and his ineptitude with that. This was huge among peers of mine with small babies.
We are in a different time. The uncertainty and upheaval that Trump and Covid brought are gone from day to day (Covid gets only 1% as a top issue in polls). Now people want someone to take charge since the all important āare you better offā question is a resounding no. 2 years is forever in politics, but if the election were tomorrow the only person Biden could possibly beat is Trump, and that isnāt guaranteed.

Add to it the war in Ukraine which the US and the rest of NATO completely bungled by first allowing it to be feasible for Russia, then later with ham-fisted sanctions which may be more effective at disrupting life in the US/EU than Putinās Special Military Operation.
Bidenās also drawn down the SPR to the lowest level since the mid-1980s as of recently, scheduled to continue dropping until October. Is Biden going to replenish it? Whatās going to happen to gas prices then?
This administration is significantly more inept in fiscal and foreign policy than any administration I can recall, yes including Trump and with a shoutout to Jimmy Carter too. The fact that most Democrats donāt understand fiscal and foreign policy shouldnāt surprise anyone, but hyperpartisanship has its limits and more Democrats are coming around. What reason would Republicans as of now have to support Biden? Itās been a total disaster, although certainly the media has not been as critical as with his predecessor.

I find it amazing that Biden can cause inflation in the US, the UK, even Japan!
