That should not be a surprise as Mr. Biden is not really running this country, and voters see that.  His advisers tell him what needs to be done, and Jill Biden sees that her husband complies.

 

To be fair, which we always are, you have to admire the message discipline the Biden people put out: no problem at the border, Trump, not Biden, is responsible for inflation, Afghanistan was a stunning success - as is the record-breaking federal spending the White House champions.

 

Also, there are very few leaks coming out.  Joe and Jill are not being exposed by insiders.  You'll remember Donald Trump couldn't hire enough plumbers to even slow down the harmful leaks.

 

The primary problem the president and his party has is a perception of weakness and incompetence. Trump may be bombastic and childish at times, but he isn't weak.

 

The United States is not an easy place in which to live these days.  There's violence, corruption, and eroding spending power for the folks.  Even those who avoid paying attention to their country know things are not under control.

 

The situation will not improve under Joe Biden, who's going downhill faster than Lindsay Vonn. The folks are wising up to an old adage: You can't teach an old dog well ... anything.
