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.
Off the top of my head; Ukraine, end of the petro dollar, Israel, Afghanistan withdrawl exexution, border security, supply chain failure, mandated vaccines that were struck down, increased spending that increased inflation, etc. That is without even refreshing my memory.
What exactly do you think the petrodollar is?
Its not an actual thing its the system where oil is bought and sold in dollars.
Ukraine is getting support and still fighting orks. It is a politically delicate situation, but it is working.
Dunno the pertro dollar, I assume you are wrong, but I’ll enjoy looking into it later.
Afghanistan withdrawal was entirely on trump.
There is plenty of ramped up, unnecessary border security, I think we are still breaking records for people and drugs stopped there…hell, fox news, in their stupidity, reported that Biden’s border stopping record highs of fentanyl from getting across the border was a bad thing. trump’s Whitehouse was prescribing the stuff!
Supply chain failure…of? You talking about the problems during COVID that the trump administration cocked up so bad that it caused supply chain failures?
Vaccines was struck down by the ignorant and the stupid, not Biden.
Economy is finally recovering from the shambles that trump left it in with his record debt. Biden did an impressive job fixing that so fast when Congress fought him the whole way.
But, hey! Maybe the one thing you are right about is the Petro dollar! Even a maga-media consumer has to be right every once in a while!
We are giving billions so that Ukraine can fight and tens of thousands of Ukainians can die and still lose. And i am going to stop here because you dont have a clue about anything and are just saying things.
imagine a ml user not spewing out the propaganda fed to them
You don’t have to clarify, we all already know the opinions you are told to have.
Thank you for writing that so I don’t have to.
The end of the petrodollar is complicated. On the one hand it reenforced American hegemony and propped up US financial institutions and instruments. On the otherhand it was quite unfair and sometimes unpopular even among US allies.
The end of it means US finance will have to work harder to stay competitive and the US has to trade currency on (slightly) more equal footing but it might lower international resentment.
