How is Joe Biden doing so far?

Gas price at gas station across the street from me before Joe Biden took office: $2.19 per gallon.
Gas price at the same gas station today: $2.75 per gallon. That's a pretty significant increase in just one month.

The Stock Market (Dow Jones) closed at $31,188 the day Joe Biden took office.
The Stock Market (Dow Jones) closed at $31,537 yesterday. Probably too early to tell there, but no massive change yet. The Dow is one of those things that will require more time before we can see any trends, so we'll have to wait and see on that one.

417,350 in the USA had died of COVID-19 when Biden took office. The current death toll is 516,403 which means that about 100K have died under Biden's watch in just one month. By the standards he applied to Donald Trump, he effectively murdered all 100K of them and is on pace to out-murder Trump by a lot. At the very least, he's doing terrible right now and has yet to bring anything new/helpful to the table. Everything under Biden is stuff we already had under Trump. And as a high risk case, I am personally no closer to getting vaccinated than I would have been under Donald Trump.

Unemployment was at 6.3% and dropping rapidly when Biden took office. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics hasn't reported on February yet, so we don't know where things are for that. The Labor Participation Rate will also need a look once enough time has passed to have meaningful data there.

Joe Biden said, "We are a Democracy. You can't do things by Executive Order unless your a dictator. We're a Democracy. We need consensus." So how is Joe doing at not being a dictator?? Well, he's issued 57 Executive Order and Actions and counting in just over a month. If he continues at this pace, he'll be second only to FDR for total EO's. Considering that it took FDR four terms in office and he oversaw World War II, FDR's total of 3,721 at least makes some sense. There is no doubt that Joe Biden's pace of EO's is unprecedented. Joe Biden is issuing EO's at a rate that we've never seen before in our history. At his current pace, Biden will issue 2,736 (57 x 12 months in a year x 4 years = 2,736) executive orders in his first four years. If it was possible for him to serve 3 full terms like FDR, he'd be on pace to issue 8,208 EO's. By his own words, he's the most dictatorial and undemocratic US President in history. The overwhelmingly high likelihood that he leaves office before finishing his first term is the only thing that might make it look a bit less blatant.

China has been empowered and emboldened since Biden took office. Human trafficking is back in business again. The kids in cages has surged massively in numbers since Biden took office. We're back on the warmongering path in the Middle East and the Military Industrial Complex couldn't be happier.

Black Lives Matter and Antifa have continue to wreak havoc. If you voted for Joe for a "return to normal" you're certainly not getting it. Our political discourse is as hostile or more so since Biden became president. Giant corporations continue to abuse the rest of us without consequence.

Think Joe is doing awesome? By all means, post your opinions and back them up with evidence. Just bear in mind that people having good feels isn't evidence of anything.

Those of us who love him think he's doing a great job. Others who can't stand him will think otherwise.

Then by all means, please do share why you think he's doing a great job. Something better than, "He's a member of my tribe, so I feel better with him in charge." Have you got anything??

Fuel prices will only go up when you have a commander in chief who is controlled by people who hate the energy sector.

Everyone knew nothing in regards to COVID would improve under Biden. The left just used it to destroy the economy while Trump was in office.

Biden is simply not Trump. That's good enough for leftists. Even they're not really expecting him to accomplish anything other that ushering in Kamala as president.

Awful. My only hope is that he isn't "too bad".

He is a leader, not a divider.
Every time he speaks we realize how we have been assaulted for 4 years.
He makes us feel normal again.
Most of al he has helped us forget Trump.
He is doing a great job of being President.

My Facebook news feed is littered with Trump news from the mainstream outlets.

Wow. Did you file a police report? Hope you make a speedy recovery. I heard those assaults can leave you with irreversible brain damage. Puppies and play dough can help ease the pain.

The pandemic is finally being managed by someone with an actual plan instead of denying it exists. Vaccinations are quickly being increased. You can't blame Biden for deaths until he decides to ignore the pandemic for six months or so like Trump did. Gas prices have nothing to do with the administration. He reversed a lot of horrible and divisive executive orders of the Trump administration. He actually selected cabinet members who are qualified to do their jobs. We have press briefings daily that aren't just arguing about things to cater to the president's ego and lie about the size of his gatherings. He is already taking steps to improve our reputation on the world stage (actually has foreign policy.)

It's early yet but i'd say he's doing a great job.
