    Biden / Trump Approval Ratings

    On this day in 2017, Trump was lower than Biden:

    Biden Approval = 42.8
    Trump Approval = 38.2
    Difference = 4.6 (Favor Biden)

    People are talking like Biden has this horrific approval rating. But he is actually higher than Trump was at this point in his presidency. Maybe interesting to the Trump Fan Boys that their hero isn't as loved as they thought?

    Naturally, I think you have to consider that Trump was Public Enemy No. 1 to 99.237% of the media. It was Trump Hate all day, every day. The fact that he garnered 38.2 in approval rating with the full-bore assault he was under is amazing.

    On the other hand... the MSM loves them some Biden - and runs interference for him a lot. The fact that he is at 42.8 when the Fourth Estate is firmly in your corner should be cause for massive concern for the Biden Fan Boys trying to destroy our country with open borders, destruction of our international reputation, destruction of our domestic energy production, enslavement of future generations to more debt, massive wealth redistribution, having the government spy on grandma's bank transactions, etc.

    Even in SoCal I don't know anyone talking about Trump these days.

    They are worried about the high cost of gas, food, shortages, rising crime, rising homelessness. Most are progressive dopes who don't understand the cause and effect of these problems but they do see them and on President Biden's watch.

    Gas is obviously just supply and demand and crime went up significantly under Trump, with 2020 seeing a major spike in crime around the country.

    Biden will never be seen as an excellent president like Lincoln, JFK or Obama, but he's certainly an improvement over what we had and I hope he does better over the next few years than what we are seeing from him.

    Before Biden leaves office, I expect to see statues honoring him erected in Moscow and Beijing.

    Is he really an improvement over Trump or was the Trump Hate just clouding everybody's vision? I think that many people liked Trump's policies - but hated his mean tweets. I don't think that crime really went up - except for the mostly peaceful riots. Look at Joe Biden. Sure, you don't have the mean tweets that caused everybody on the left to have a conniption; but we do have open borders, we are begging the Saudi's for oil, crime has exploded, we are an international embarrassment, inflation is soaring; the leftists want to take what Grandma has in her 401K before she dies and we have now redefined "infrastructure". I mean, imagine what we'll get to redefining once we get back in charge.....

    Trump was attacked with fake Media promoted narratives of colluding with Russia to being racist in that first year when he hit his low.

    Biden has never been attacked by the media. They are his creator and coverup team.

    So Trump that you say was so unpopular still got 47% approval in the election.

    If Trump runs against Biden today then Trump gets a 2% popular vote victory.

    The Electoral College vote would be a wipe out with Trump winning by double digits in the swing states.

    Per the FBI, crime was up all over the country, majorly. Check 2020 numbers compared to the previous years, it's a big jump and the highest in several years.

    I think the "mean tweets" thing comes from the right, not the left. I would say "dumb" tweets more than "mean", since he was embarrassing himself and therefore us as our leader. But it was more than that, the way that he represented us was not acceptable to most Americans. The cherry on top was how he handled the COVID situation, divisive and political. That was his time to shine and he blew it.


    Here is some info on the murder rate nationally:

    US records highest increase in nation's homicide rate in modern history

    Both are lower than Obama, Trump and Bush (both of them). Trump has the lowest average approval rating for a president on record and I would imagine that Biden will be second.

    Regarding the two going head to head, you'll have to excuse me that I don't buy it, given that I heard the exact same thing before the election. The "silent majority" was going to come out and reelect trump, before he got trounced in the electoral AND popular votes.

    I truly think it goes back to things like the tweets - his personality. Not his policies. I have friends - D's and R's and I's that voted for Sleepy Joe b/c they couldn't stand Trump personally - not b/c of the pandemic but b/c of how he acted 'I like his policies, I just can't stand him - and Biden's a moderate' - things like this. Well, we know that Joe isn't a moderate. He used to be but he sold his soul to the leftists.

    As far as crime - I'd really have to see where these numbers fall before and after Floyd and how much of this is related to the pandemic and isolation / etc. as we locked down and reopened.
