'... sinking approval ratings...'

Amid a rolling series of calamities and sinking approval ratings, the president’s feeling lately is that he just can’t catch a break — and that angst is rippling through his party.
WASHINGTON — Faced with a worsening political predicament, President Joe Biden is pressing aides for a more compelling message and a sharper strategy while bristling at how they’ve tried to stifle the plain-speaking persona that has long been one of his most potent assets.
Biden is rattled by his sinking approval ratings and is looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign, people close to the president say.
Crises have piled up in ways that have at times made the Biden White House look flat-footed: record inflation, high gas prices, a rise in Covid case numbers — and now a Texas school massacre that is one more horrific reminder that he has been unable to get Congress to pass legislation to curb gun violence. Democratic leaders are at a loss about how he can revive his prospects by November, when midterm elections may cost his party control of Congress.
“I don’t know what’s required here,” said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., whose endorsement in the 2020 Democratic primaries helped rescue Biden’s struggling candidacy. “But I do know the poll numbers have been stuck where they are for far too long.”

The White House isn’t adrift. It very much has a purposeful direction. They just haven’t been able to quite figure out how to get around elections yet.
The man cannot read a teleprompter in a coherent fashion.
Not adrift; full bore Thelma and Louise.
Bet things are humming along smoothly just down the street at Obama’s complex.
Yep! All deliberate. They will get around elections at some point. Until then they have to figure out how much to cheat.
“They just haven’t been able to quite figure out how to get around elections yet.”
I think that’s the 1st thing they figured out how to do
Nothing is adrift. It's being done on purpose.
It took 4 different wokesters to put this garbage together. We can’t have millennials actually working or they’ll go on strike.
Yeah... four writers on this... what an investment!
And, of course, none of it has anything to do with Brandon or his destructive policies. These people are insane.

“ the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign”
What campaign? The propaganda media made sure that they carefully chose brief snippets of Biden’s infrequent presentations and then framed them in hours of their talking points to make sure Biden looked like a strong leader. In fact, he was already showing signs of dementia.
Plus, when has he ever been a strong leader? He could be a bully when interrogating witnesses from on high in a Senate committee chamber. Bullying is not the same as leadership.
What an utter joke. The only "sure-handed" thing Biden ever did was corrupt his family and sell America out while enriching himself. He belongs in jail.
Why do we even bother posting content here from the lapdog mainstream media?
Yep. It’s all about ‘messaging.’ Get that messaging fine tuned and all will be well...
The Peacock is panicking...
They thought they had in 2016. I do not think they are so sanguine about it anymore. But they’re definitely on their way to solving the problem with 100% certainty.
Oh yes they have figured out how to get around elections.
Watch, they’ll do it again in 2024, just not necessarily with Joe at the top of the ticket. One would hope that he would become unavailable by then, frankly.
