As President Biden’s term draws to a close, a new wave of Fox News polling reveals that a whopping 68% of Americans are not satisfied with how things are going in the country. This isn’t just a minor blip; it marks a significant moment in history since Biden will be leaving office with the lowest presidential job performance ratings in 15 years. While some Democrats may still tout his presidency as being one of the most successful in modern times, many Americans do not seem to be buying it.
In the eyes of some, Biden’s presence has been akin to a lost ship at sea, trying to navigate treacherous waters but failing to find dry land. He may have ended Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency, but opinions on whether he has led the nation to better shores are decidedly mixed. Supporters claim that Biden’s selflessness and civil approach marked a new beginning for America. They talk about the “decent and honorable” leadership he has purportedly provided. However, critics are quick to point to the chaos that seems to envelop his administration, leading some to reminisce about the prior leadership they once denounced.
One particularly vocal critic shared his thoughts on the future of Biden’s legacy. Comparing it to the presidency of Jimmy Carter, he argued that Biden’s presidency might go down as one of the worst in American history. This critic pointed to shocking statistics, noting that Thanksgiving dinners have become the most expensive in history under Biden’s watch. To top off the woes, he mentioned that over 15 million individuals have entered the country illegally during Biden’s term, some even being on the FBI’s terror watch list. The bloated approval ratings of Biden have left many scratching their heads, wondering what those 41% who approve see that the rest of the country doesn’t.
Moreover, there’s a curious juxtaposition brewing in the media. Just when one would think Time Magazine would celebrate remarkable leadership, it has instead found itself naming Trump as the Person of the Year once again. That must be a tough pill to swallow for those who have spent years trying to paint him in a less-than-flattering light. The magazine’s recognition emphasizes the compelling narrative surrounding Trump’s political comeback, one for the history books and often likened to legendary sports comebacks.
While Biden may have thought his legacy would shine brightly, it appears the spotlight is instead shining on the resurgence of Trump. If the latest events are any indication, the political landscape is leaning heavily toward celebrating his success as a comeback kid. With recent electoral gains, including winning popular votes and securing swing states, it seems the tides are turning. Biden’s term has been filled with contention, and the upcoming election will be a critical moment as both parties rally their bases for what promises to be a heated contest for America’s heart and soul.
