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.
damn. sounds like they should run someone more popular with the same agenda, then. pretty easy thing to fix, really, unless you’re more dedicated to the man than the platform.
I get the logic of your statement, but it is devoid of any understanding of how people actually work in the real world. That tends to be where these armchair politician “genius fixes” go wrong.
In this real world people don’t vote for popular candidates, I am a political genius.
