Donvict’s first term had him in the low 40’s and even dipping into the 30’s most or the time. That was despite riding on the coattails of the steady Obama/Biden economy and Agent Orange didn’t get as much scrutiny on his popularity as Biden has.

That is the right wing machine churning out talking points and the rest of the media, especially “podcasts”, take the bait. Click bait, that is.

Trump has always flooded the zone with soooo many corrupt and ignorant things he does that you cannot focus on a-one of them. Whereas, going after Bidens’age so relentlessly becomes a self-fufilling prophecy that results in his popularity, thus effectiveness, tanking.

It was all designed 40 years ago with the takeover of AM radio, the media, and now, the internet “new “media. The Right creates the reality they want you to feel and the stenographers, that are modern political reporters , are on the hamster wheel feedback loop.
