President Biden’s policy agenda is incredibly popular, much more popular than his opponent’s. But Biden the man? Not so much.
The question now is whom to blame for the approval gap between the president and his agenda: voters, the media or Biden himself.
Democrats have long argued that their policies are more popular than those of Republicans. In a recent blind test conducted by YouGov, that was unmistakably true. The polling organization asked Americans what they thought about major policies proposed by Biden and Donald Trump without specifying who proposed them. The idea was to see how the public perceived ideas when stripped of tribal associations.
Biden’s agenda was the winner, hands down.
Of the 28 Biden proposals YouGov asked about, 27 were supported by more people than opposed them. Impressively, 24 received support from more than 50 percent of respondents.
lol No.
Calmly explaining to my stupid tankie friends why public schools and postal services and public wifi at public libraries and Amtrak and Medicare and the Hoover Dam are wildly unpopular. What people really want are more cops, more wars, and more credit card debts.
If America wanted socialism, Bernie Sanders would have been president.
The moment a politician talks about raising taxes, that’s it, they lose votes. Far too many people in the U.S. have been hurting from inflation (which is just another form of taxation, btw) combined with all other forms of taxation.
That’s never actually been true. School bonds tied to tax increases pass all the time
