Why it's hard to explain Joe Biden's unpopularity

Joe Biden’s Unpopularity #

President Joe Biden is facing low approval ratings, with his numbers lower than any president starting a reelection campaign since Dwight Eisenhower. However, there is confusion surrounding his poor polling numbers as media coverage often fails to highlight how historically terrible his approval ratings are compared to previous presidents. Unlike past presidents, there is no clear consensus on the reasons behind Biden’s unpopularity. The lack of a common explanation for his political flop has led some to overstate the success of his recent State of the Union address as a solution to his problems. This mystery surrounding Biden’s struggles may be attributed to the ongoing political realignment in the United States, where cultural differences between right and left have become more pronounced. As a result, Biden is losing support from swing voters, including moderate minority voters, who are increasingly distancing themselves from the cultural and media establishment. The failure to understand the concerns of these voters, along with the exclusion of moderate to conservative views within progressive politics, may contribute to Biden’s unpopularity. To secure his reelection, a clearer understanding of the reasons behind his struggles is needed, as an unfathomable level of unpopularity can lead to electoral defeat.
