    Concerning. But also Obama was less popular than Trump at this point and we know how those both turned out, so hopefully Biden can change it around. Maybe don’t send a genocidal government bombs that will be dropped on children? Idk I’m not a political scientist

      Obama was so unpopular that he was succeeded by Trump. it may be that Biden will share the same fate

        Yeah but Obama got two terms, not his fault Hilary didn’t inspire people.

        I did too much research on approval ratings now soooo…

        Trump: 41%

        Obama:

        1st term: 49%

        2nd: 47%

        Bush:

        1st: 62% (!)

        2nd: 37%

        Clinton:

        1st: 50%

        2nd: 61%

        Other Bush: 61%

        And…

        Biden, average to date: 43%

        Oof. The only president people like him more than is Trump or 2nd term Bush. Lucky he is the one running I guess, haha

          I wonder how well the Clinton and Bushes would have fared if their constituents were constantly bombarded by negative political coverage on social media and in memes. They only had to watch out for people who read newspapers.
