Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record.

Why does anyone presume that his opponent will be the orange guy?

Because he's winning the primaries now by some distance, it's not illegal for him to run from prison and at least one state court has already decided that he did engage in an insurrection but that that doesn't disqualify him either.

I thought they decided that he did but that didn't disqualify him.

What are you implying? That they decided he did but that didn't disqualify him?

Listen, I'm not sure where you get your news, but what I'm reading is that they decided he did, but that didn't disqualify him.

Found the typical Lemmy user! Always reading things and then thinking about things before commenting on things. You need to go back and re-read what you were reading when you read that, because it's clear that they decided he did, but that didn't disqualify him.
