(25,342 posts)His approval rating is pretty much exactly what it was in 2016. We overestimated the number of people who would bail on him. Obviously, it's not much more than zero.

Theres very little personal enthusiasm for Biden himself and I believe that has hurt him, unfortunately.

(7,596 posts)Obama excited people, Hillary and Biden did not.
If people were actually thrilled with the idea of Biden being president, hed be crushing that scumbag right now instead of simply barely leading,
Like it or not, people like to be excited for the candidates they vote for. Just hating their opponents typically isnt enough to get them to the polling booth.
