with his term approval rating at 42.2%. I know some would say that number was from polls, but let's be honest...if Biden's poll numbers had been high we would be shouting it from the rooftops. Presidents are not immune from making poor choices or trusting and listening to advisors who may give them bad advice. Hindsight is 20/20 and not useful unless you learn from it. But given Biden's and Trump's ages I think the American electorate will be done with having and accepting people of their age running for president anymore.
