Biden

As the country becomes more divided, it becomes increasingly difficult to properly evaluate the performance of the man in the White House. Recall when Trump was a candidate and on at least a dozen occasions he said or did something that the experts said that was the end of his campaign but they were wrong. The 30% who were the Trumpers would not turn against him. This continued during his presidency and it was the pandemic that did him in. The same thing has happened in the past year with Biden. The 30% are sticking with him even though his popularity is down to 40%. You recall when Trump said he could shoot someone and not lose any voters. These two groups are like the abortion people. On either end of the issue are people who will not change. The only way to get an honest picture of what is happening is to watch the polls of the independents and they are moving away from Biden and this is the big concern for the democrats in the upcoming election. According to Gallup polling, for example, Biden's overall job approval rating has dropped from 57 percent in February to 42 percent today, a slide of 15-points. That drop-off has been driven almost entirely by independent voters.
