    Not according to the data you’ve provided, especially if you take an ounce of history into consideration.

    He’s about even with most presidents who didn’t face major wars, slightly less popular than presidents who were in office during major wars, and low compared to…JFK.

    The most popular president of all time.

    Shhhhhhocker.

    And again, these are polls in a time of unprecedented media bias and corporate influence, so even though they argue against your point and make out that the sky is not actually falling, they are largely irrelevant.

      I’m not sure that with you missing it the first time, repeating the relevant data you missed last time will help, but let’s roll the cube-digits:

      "He’s about even with most presidents who didn’t face major wars, slightly less popular than presidents who were in office during major wars, and low compared to…JFK.

      The most popular president of all time.

      Shhhhhhocker.

      And again, these are polls in a time of unprecedented media bias and corporate influence, so even though they argue against your point and make out that the sky is not actually falling, they are largely irrelevant."

      These polls, with a candidate in a two-party system being a few points lower than the other presidents but within the same range as Obama and Clinton, incredibly popular presidents despite their “numbers” who were elected to a second term, are statistically, contextually and historically irrelevant to “inevitability”.

      Biden could lose(that is how voting works), but implying that it’s a lock for Trump because Biden is only as popular as Obama is ludicrous.

      Mind the historical context and the statistical irrelevance of your datasets.

      Show me data that tells otherwise then as I have done. Biden peaked at 55%, Trump didn’t even exceed 50%, and both have been about the same approval/disapproval long term. Past presidents have tanked harder but none have consistently had this low approval and high disapproval ratings.
