Joe's never done anything of value his entire life, and his ego as a career politician living off the backs of the people got the better of him. 9 months into his term and he hasn't gotten a single thing right, and it's catastrophe after catastrophe. Time for him to resign or be fired, effective immediately. If he can't take a dump, he's not fit for office.

Kicking him in the balls is letting him off easy.
Wait woah! Just a minute, he ran to get rid of Trump. If Trump had not been president, Joe would have not ran. I'm pretty sure Joe felt it was over after being vice to Obama, he did not run against Clinton. I think other democrats came to Joe and asked him to run. Bernie Sanders would have ran, but he is even older, a year I believe? Bernie Sanders is a bit more creepy and would have failed to draw enough middle-of-the-road voters, to defeat Trump.

The only reason to debase Joe Biden unless you would rather have Trump. So, no way do we want to hurt old Joe. I will pray for him to make it though the term.

And that's Joe playing hero to assuage his ego. I have NO sympathy for his inability to say no. It's not Joe's job to 'save' the country from a second Trump term. And again, what makes him incapable of saying the words 'No, I can't do it'? He's 78 years old for crying out loud, I've been alive for fewer years than he's been a politician and I say No to PAYING CLIENTS who can get me fired all the time and do it with all due respect, style and dignity.

I'm debasing Joe because his job performance over the past 9 months has been atrocious, and given his lifetime in DC, I refuse to give him a pass for ANY incompetence. Trump has nothing to do with it.

He has been a pathological liar his entire life, he has only been senile for a few years.

Well I distrust him all the time since he can't seem to say a comprehensible sentence.
I don't know what he's trying to get across never mind whether it's true or not.

What's gonna happen when he can't read his note cards anymore ?

I go to a big church. The pastor never says anything political. But last weekend he said he can't understand Biden, a big cheer went up.

So someone stood up and said "The Emperor has no clothes on" ?
Someone called out reality and all the silent people finally spoke up and agreed.

The Delta variant flipped everything. Initially we all thought the vaccine was helping to mitigate the spread.
Republicans and Democrats were touting declining numbers and the return to normalcy...and then Delta said -- nope hang on.......

And yup 45% shows a decline from January. But if you are trying to suggest folks would rather someone else be in office and would have more trust it would be beneficial to look at where people were with confidence in the fall of last year.

https://www.axios.com/axios-ipsos-po...89a90e976.html

The big picture: With just five weeks left in the election, Week 26 of our national survey offers additional signs that trust in the president and his administration are continuing to fall over the handling of the pandemic.

Just 32% said they trust the federal government to provide them with accurate information about COVID-19, down four percentage points from a week ago and a new low for the index.
(compared that with 49% now)
Trust in the White House fell to 28%, and trust in Trump himself fell to 27% — (compare that to Biden's 45%)


So yes Biden is seeing a significant decline in 'trust' or confidence.....but it seems overall confidence levels are still significantly higher than last fall when we had no clue about Delta.

Still a cause for concern. but not necessarily as dire a picture as some would like to think.

He constantly lies on Afghanistan.

Now a new Axios poll shows that when Biden speaks on Covid-19, only 45% of Americans trust him, 53% of Americans distrust him, and 2% are undecided.

I don't see how he can get back a reputation of honesty.

Duplicate thread.

And Yes Biden's confidence in COVID info. has dropped -- but hasn't hit the all time low set by other Presidents....on this issue.

Is one of the polls flawed, or has the general opinion shifted in just two weeks?

And if public opinion has shifted, do you think it is because of resistance to mandates or because of Biden now saying that it would take 97%-98% of people being vaccinated to manage COVID https://twitter.com/townhallcom/stat...165981191?s=20, or both of these reasons, or something else?

What is YOUR opinion?
Sounds like the pollster might lean a good amount Republican there info they listed contradicts itself

I was a poll on one of the cable news channel like 65% to 70% support vaccine mandates they want Covid to over ASAP not like republicans do not if it drags on for 5 to 7 more years.

You notice how both threads posted with in 1 minute of one another. I wonder how many people here have 2, and 3 accounts.
