Oh, yeah, lets do like Carter/Clinton and blame it on a "malaise" or "national funk". It couldn't possibly the huge policy failures...

In a focus group last week, Pennsylvania Democrats one after another articulated the issue vexing top White House aides, party operatives in Virginia and voters in Georgia: Why isn’t President Joe Biden’s diminished job rating rebounding?
All nine participants from Tuesday’s session gave Biden C- grades or lower. And their answers circled back to a similar point: The pandemic and the many ways it continues to hinder normal life is souring their views of Biden.
One woman said she wanted to buy a car but supply chain issues were delaying new shipments to the dealership. A man complained about understaffed restaurants.
“There is a malaise,” said Sarah Longwell, a moderate Republican strategist who became a vocal supporter of Biden in 2020, and led the focus group of Democratic voters. “People don’t feel like their lives have been improved. They did sort of feel that promises aren’t being kept.”
Nearly nine months into office, Biden and his team contend that the ravages of the pandemic are starting to recede due to his actions. They point to polling showing strong support for his legislative agenda, anchored by physical infrastructure and social and climate spending packages. They note how rare it’s been for Democratic lawmakers to break ranks, even during this current, difficult period.
But Biden’s standing with Americans has plummeted, with his average approval rating plunging by nearly 15 points since late June. He's seen a drop among Democrats and even more with Republicans, but the decline has been particularly steep among independent voters.

No he is trapped in a perfect storm of bad domestic policy, meets bad monetary policy meets bad energy policy meets bad foreign policy
Covid is merely the scapegoat Biden Democrats are trying to hide behind to deny their fundamental across the board failures.
“One woman said she wanted to buy a car but supply chain issues were delaying new shipments to the dealership. A man complained about understaffed restaurants.”
...in typical me, me, me, liberal fashion.
No concern about the future of the car dealership or restaurant and other businesses along with the impact on the country. Just “I WANT MY CAR”, “I WANT MY FOOD”
Yup—the people who complain loudest about “selfishness” are often the most selfish folks out there...
Aside from mask Karens, I see most people going about their lives.
Oh, yeah, lets do like Carter/Clinton and blame it on a "malaise" or "national funk". It couldn't possibly the huge policy failures...
It’s “politically incorrect” for Democrats or the media to note his mental decline. They need to dance around that particular issue.
We can talk about it here, but Democrats will never mention that.
Disrupted supply chains, lack of workers, airline delays, empty shelves, inflation - welcome to the world of socialism.
“People don’t feel like their lives have been improved. They did sort of feel that promises aren’t being kept.” Anyone who believes the promises of politicians and believes it’s government’s job to “improve our lives” really shouldn’t be voting, they are gullible children. (And I also thought this item referred to Biden’s cognitive decline.)
LOl false. Just another Biden regime lie.
Implemented by incompetent administration staff.

I thought this article was going to be a long overdue admission of the obvious. The fact that Biden hasn't had a free wheeling press conference where he stood at the Mic for an hour or more and took any and all unscripted questions is an obvious sign that he is ill prepared to run anything, much less our country.
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate is doing just fine.
Let’s go, Brandon!
Hoisted by his own petard.
The COVID and Jan. 6th event is designed to scare Trump supporters. They want Sloppy Joe to get the Socialism past the American People. They will be in the drivers seat the rest of our lives.
And by petard, one might mean his current wife, the “doctor”.
His decline is because of or coincidental to his mental decline. I still think he’ll be out of the White House by the end of the year.
Their covid policies are among the failures.
