Not much honestly. I think Biden is a highly effective president. MUCH better than bama. If he gets even the smallest infrastructure deal onbthe table, he is on track to do more legislatively in 1 year than Obama did in 8. He's not trying to cut deals with Republicans to end social security for anyone under 50.. GOD I am still livid at Obama about that.
If I'd have known Biden would be this good I'd have supported him from the start, which I did not.
I've even been surprised at his avoidance of gaffes. Not sure if this is him or his staff, but either way I don't care.
Probably the border / immigration is his biggest liability in my view. I would like some liberal leader to put out a liberal vision for immigration, the border, migration, asylum, etc... No one has yet.
After nearly six months in office, FiveThirtyEight's polling average has Biden's overall approval rating at 52.4%, with 42.5% disapproving of his performance, reflective of his relatively stable numbers over the past few months.
However, when it comes to Biden's handling of the coronavirus, the FiveThirtyEight polling average has Biden at 60.3% approval, with 31.6% disapproving. Trump after his first six months in office held an 39% approval rating, with 55% disapproving, making him the most unpopular president at the 6-month mark, according to FiveThirtyEight.
Biden has consistently had higher numbers for his handling of COVID-19 relative to his overall approval rating, even among Independents and Republicans.
Biden's approval rating versus Trump's approval rating is your go-to argument? You might as well play the "Would You Rather" game.
For various reasons, Trump was doomed to low approval ratings. He was a narcissistic jackass who was hammered with innuendo and downright false reporting by the media. So far, Biden has been treated with kid gloves by the media - and it isn't because he is doing anything that is actually good for the country. If the media were to spend as much time telling people what they should be angry at Biden about as they did with Trump, he would have similar approval ratings (which, in themselves, are nothing more than a opinion poll).

Sure they have. Do you really need to have them come out and state that they are for open borders? It's evident to anyone that is capable of paying attention.
I'm not sure I count for your purposes. I held my nose and voted for Biden but apart from that I am not a supporter. Among the things I disagree with him and his administration include:
1. Failure to address the crisis on the Southern border
2. Forgiveness of student loans (so far not successful, but I disagree with the proposal)
3. Mishandling of the infrastructure bill/compromise
We knew before the Election if Biden got in these would be problematic issues.

When I first skimmed this, I caught the underlined word as "numbness" and wondered why, while accurate, it would reflect in a positive rating. Then I figured out my mistake. You were falling for push polls.

I don't know what open borders means. Do mean visa free travel? That we turn North America into something like the EU? If so, I actually do want that spelled out.
I would also like to know what conservatives want to do with these migrants.
Because short of announcing to the world we are going to execute unauthorized migrants, I don't know what would stop them.
He needs to end the filibuster immediately. The fantasy that anything substantial can be passed by collaborating with republicans is insane. He is wasting valuable time negotiating with those determined to see him fail.
