Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president.
- Thread starter Tony Stark
- Start date
Passing Obamacare cost Obama a lot in the polls and a shellacking in the mid-terms, according to your logic, the policies weren't worth it. Comparing Obama to Biden changes nothing about that reasoning.
Obamas approval was far better than Bidens and he likely wouldn't have gotten a 2nd term without it
AGAIN, that's irrelevant - we are not comparing Obama to Biden, we are comparing Obama's pre-ACA numbers to post-ACA. Obama started at higher approval ratings and his numbers dropped a lot after ACA passed.
Given your logic, such policy proposals are not worth it.
It didn't go above pre ACA ratings until the re-election and then continued to slide.
It didn't go above pre ACA ratings until the re-election and then continued to slide.
Obamas net aggregate approval was +1.1 at this point in his presidency,Bidens is -13.7
We are comparing pre and post policy approval ratings, not comparing Obama to Biden. Stick to the point.
Brutal political fights can temporarily lower a presidents approval rating.Not fighting lowers them permanently like Bidens.
Obama was fighting with 58 senators on his side, without Manchin and Sinema, Biden can't even get a single cabinet nominee approved.
