Many scholars rank the presidents, and there's even a Wikipedia page about it. While Donald Trump got rated far more unfavorably than he should have (in my opinion), many of the rankers tend to be on the left because they're often colleges and newspapers from large cities. So Joe Biden is probably going to be ranked far better than what we think.

How do you predict he will do?

So far he is doing terrible. I expected him to be more moderate, he is definitely taking a far left turn. I predict the Dems will lose the house in 2022 due to far left overreach.

President Barack Obama, "Never underestimate Joe's ability to screw things up."

And do I really need to quote what future VP Harris said about him?

His promises are not very good. Seriously, he wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
That will create a ton of extra unemployment, which is the last thing we need right now.

In other words, you don't want a dime more of stimulus money from the government. More money is just too damned far left, even thought President Trump supported sending out $2000.

Until the pandemic gets under control...it will be rough for him at this time.

Increased unemployment benefits I'm on board with. Handouts to people who are not affected by the pandemic is utterly ridiculous.

Btw, I can't stand Trump. Never voted for him.

Honestly, he's all set to be a miserable failure from day one. The virus is still killing loads of people and that's not just going to magically stop the day he's sworn in. We've printed something like 60% of all United States dollars in the past year, so hyper-inflation is inevitable. His party wants open borders, so we're about to add tens of millions of illegal immigrants to our country. He owes China, but it will be called out if he bends the USA over for China. He's going to want to roll back the trade deals that Trump made, but if he does that his loyalties to big corporations and foreign interests will be obvious. The Far Left voted for him because they believe he's spineless and that they can bully him into doing whatever they tell him to, but the Far Left agenda is nuts. He's going to try to be a Moderate in a party that is rapidly shifting farther Left, very very far from Moderates. He's leading a party full of angry antagonists who want to visit vengeance and retribution on the Right. Doing that will destroy the country, but not doing that will mean angering the farther Left portion of his party. The man is pretty much brain-dead and his VP is literally terrible. A man whose mental facilities are clearly in decline is being asked to walk the razor's edge to keep our country from disintegrating.

A number of neutral analysts posited that it would be better for the Democrats to lose this year in order to force their party figure out what the American people actually want, and reinvent themselves accordingly. That didn't happen, so your old guard is still steering the ship, while being hopelessly out of touch with the American people.

I don't wish failure on the man, but the deck is pretty thoroughly stacked against him.

He will do awful, but the media will gaslight us all and say he is doing an amazing job.

The truth is what the media says is the truth. Don’t believe your own eyes.
