I wasn't expecting too much out of Biden. I worried about his age and health. So far he has surprised me with his vigor and initiative. At this rate he could be our most popular president in 30 years:
Approval rating 1st 6 months:
Clinton 51%, Bush 54%, Obama 60%, Trump 41%, Biden 58%*
Approval rating end of term:
Clinton 66%, Bush 34%, Obama 59%, Trump 34%, Biden ??

Approval ratings have nothing to do with being a great President. Not sure why Dems don't understand this very simple concept. Great Presidents make decisions that may be unpopular, but are in the best interest of the country. Capitulating to people who demand handouts does not make a President great - quite the opposite, in fact. Starting to regret your vote yet? If not, why not?

I don't know what is more absurd, saying Biden is the worst president of all time, or the best, with only a few weeks in office.
That said, having low expectations due to his age and health should have caused you not to vote for him in the first place, right?
So just because he is not as bad as you feared, hardly equates to him being great.
What exactly has he done in your view (say the big three things) that you feel so good about thus far?
The opinion poll IS based on accomplishments. Like taking charge of the pandemic response. For the past year we had a President who told us it's not that bad, it will be gone once the weather warms up, we have a miracle cure, etc. Biden has shown that he takes Covid-19 seriously and realizes that getting our economy going and getting life back to normal are all dependent on defeating the pandemic. His commitment to getting people vaccinated is impressive.
Next, he understands that the reason the recovery from 2008 recession was so slow is that the government failed to 'go big'. He's not going to make that mistake again.
Third, getting us back into the Paris Climate Accord demonstrates that he respects science and knows that climate change is our biggest long-term challenge. The impact of what we do or don't do today will be felt long after Biden is deceased.
Fourth, he strengthened the directives to "Buy American" for government agencies.
Fifth, launched a 100-day review of US supply chains for pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, semiconductors and large-capacity batteries. We are very vulnerable in those areas.
Pretty good for one month
Name 3 accomplishments of the Trump 2017-2020 presidency
That will very soon go down dramatically because those who are vulnerable will be mostly vaccinated. Biden will get wide praise for that even though he has very little to do with it.

I agree with this, Biden has only been president a month and his policies hasn’t effected the majority yet, people are voting on the honeymoon stage, not because he is doing a good job
