    As of Sept 1-17, Joe Biden's latest Presidential Job Approval Rating

    Other than Donald Trump, that is a much lower rating at this point in
    a presidency than any president since, and including, Dwight
    Eisenhower. Even Richard Nixon was 21 points higher. Hmmm.

    Don't look at just one poll.

    All presidents in the past started out with much higher ratings and went
    down from there. Nixon was popular until Watergate and Ike was always
    popular. Reagan was very unpopular by the midterms. Carter's and
    Bush41's ratings went to hell.

    Things changed starting with Clinton. Biden is ahead of Trump, about the
    same as Clinton, not too far behind Bush prior to 9/11 (who went up
    after 9/11) or Obama (who continued to slide).

    Bottom line: you can't make too much of it right now. If the ratings
    stay this low a year from now, the Democrats will likely lose both
    houses. But, just a jump of a couple of points could turn the tide the
    other way.

    If Biden could get genuine control of the border and eliminate his
    spending extravaganza the tide might turn, but it is increasingly
    looking like he is unable or unwilling to do either -- no doubt to the
    eternal delight of his socialist handlers. On the other hand I see his
    son has a bountiful art career underway ...

    "At some point in the coming weeks, hundreds of thousands of dollars
    will be funneled to the son of the sitting American president—and none
    of us will know anything about who sent the money, or where it
    originally came from, or why anyone chose to send it in the first
    place. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/hunter-bidens-art-show-is-a-window-into-a-very-murky-world/620154/
