Okay, Biden isn’t popular. But his policies sure are. - eviltoast

President Biden’s policy agenda is incredibly popular, much more popular than his opponent’s. But Biden the man? Not so much.

The question now is whom to blame for the approval gap between the president and his agenda: voters, the media or Biden himself.

Democrats have long argued that their policies are more popular than those of Republicans. In a recent blind test conducted by YouGov, that was unmistakably true. The polling organization asked Americans what they thought about major policies proposed by Biden and Donald Trump without specifying who proposed them. The idea was to see how the public perceived ideas when stripped of tribal associations.

Biden’s agenda was the winner, hands down.

Of the 28 Biden proposals YouGov asked about, 27 were supported by more people than opposed them. Impressively, 24 received support from more than 50 percent of respondents.

    I didn’t say or even imply people support trump because of Russian bots, I’m saying that trump supporters are largely stupid or uninformed, and trump is putin’s puppet and repeats Russian propaganda.

    Everyone who disagrees with you is simply so stupid that they just instantly believe anything they see.

    It’s actually kind of funny that you’re being incredibly reductive while accusing me of the same. Like I said, not everyone and not everything. Trump supporters, however, are largely dumb enough to swallow Russian propaganda specifically because they’ve been primed for it.
