I don't know anyone who voted for Biden that particularly likes the guy. He won on not being Trump. The numbers make sense to me.

It's not all bad news, he has a good chance of being a one term prez.

The numbers in the title are fake news anyways. Trump's approval hovered in the very low 40s for most of his presidency, and his approval also plummeted at the end of his term. Trump did not leave office with a fucking 51% approval rating.

In agreement with you and Mr Muskrat, I'd say that many who supported Biden were initially Bernie supporters, and we wouldn't just yet give Biden 4 stars, or even 3 stars, especially because many of us hate neoliberalism, and moderate liberal approaches, and hope to see Biden's team make substantial changes, rather than compromise with radical Republicans. So far, so good, however, with the initial executive orders. In any event, the team that Biden's team put together will hopefully work on bills that can now pass House and Senate, and will hopefully offer some form of New Deal. For Biden's team to unite the country, they'll need to get people vaccinated and back to work, and they'll have to restore nearly all of the important government agencies and trade deals.
