Joe Biden's "Comeback" Is Over

Immediately following President Biden’s State of the Union address in March, the incumbent president saw a surge in the polls which seemed poised to revive his campaign and reenergize the Democratic Party.

Now, just two months later, it increasingly appears that Biden’s quiet comeback is running out of steam.

Today, Biden’s approval rating across all three metrics is underwater — 42 percent on the economy, 42 percent on foreign affairs and 38 percent on immigration — according to the most recent Harvard/Harris poll released last week.

Biden’s marks on all three issues — the economy, foreign policy, and immigration — are markedly down since entering office. In January 2020, 61 percent approved of Biden’s handling of the economy, 60 percent approved of his handling of foreign affairs, and 57 percent approved of his handling of immigration, per Harvard/Harris.

Polls about the nationwide popular vote are just about potential bragging rights. This election will be decided by the electoral votes of 6-8 swing states.

The "quiet comeback" was a coordinated media narrative.

Nothing matters in this election, especially votes that clearly could state that Biden won. Trump will declare victory in November no matter what. And if he loses, as he did in 2020, he will declare fraud and bring on his bloodbath. He has it all figured out and is prepping everyday to put that plan in action with the thugs around him, including Mike Johnson, again.

People are upset that a loaf of bread went from 4.50 to 6 dollars in three years, and 40% of that inflation went to corporate profits and stock buybacks.

None of that is Biden’s fault,

The mystery remains: how can anyone vote for Trump?

Reflecting on your personal or observed experiences, how do changes in immigration policy affect communities and individuals on a personal level?

Considering your own or your family's experiences, how important is the president's role in shaping foreign affairs and why?

How do you feel the state of the economy directly impacts your future plans, and do you believe a president's policies can significantly influence this?
