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.

      If the DNC hadn’t shoved Hillary down our throats, Bernie would have certainly won the primary. But on policy the best candidate would have been Andrew Yang.

      The DNC would rather lose elections than give us non-establishment politicians.

        I was under the impression that Bernie was too left even for a lot of Democrat voters, so winning the elections could’ve been a tough one

          And just like that, the party’s voters aren’t expected to fall in line for a candidate they don’t want in order to stop Trump.

        Oh yes how the DNC shoved Hillary down our votes by mind controlling millions of so called Bernie supporters to not even turn out for him and then throw a tantrum that other voters didn’t vote for him on their behalf.
