    Only one poll and out from underwater isn’t above 50, but still above water is better than below and the macro trend in all polls has been in his favor for months:

    Joe Biden has a positive approval rating among registered voters for the first time in years, per the latest NPR/PBS/Marist Poll.

    49% approve / 45% disapprove

    2/13-15, 1210 RVs, mixed mode, ±3.5

    How will (and/or should) this factor into his decision to run again?

    I think he will. I think this, the jobs numbers, inflation, etc will all convince him he has the wind at his back.

    I'm good either way. If his health is up to it and he has support I certainly think his job performance has been good enough to deserve the nomination.

    If not, perhaps it's time for the younger generation to step in.

    A PBS/NPR has a favorable poll for Joe Biden. This is like the elections in North Korea where Kim Jong Ill gets 90%of the votes.:lol:

    What do YOU have to do with anything?

    Perhaps you're too meaningless to kill?

    Perhaps Biden would never kill, even his enemies?

    Which would you like to believe? That you're utterly fucking unimportant? Or that Biden is a good man?

    I'm surprised FF is against inflation, given his purchases of penis pumps, sex dolls and his need to enlarge his ego.

    Morgan Stanley credits Bidenomics for ‘much stronger’ than expected GDP growth
    PUBLISHED FRI, JUL 21 20235:21 PM EDT
    Christina Wilkie@IN/CHRISTINA-WILKIE-6004564/@CHRISTINAWILKIE


    WASHINGTON — Morgan Stanley is crediting President Joe Biden’s economic policies with driving an unexpected surge in the U.S. economy that is so significant that the bank was forced to make a “sizable upward revision” to its estimates for U.S. gross domestic product.

    Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Actis “driving a boom in large-scale infrastructure,” wrote Ellen Zentner, chief U.S. economist for Morgan Stanley, in a research note released Thursday. In addition to infrastructure, “manufacturing construction has shown broad strength,” she wrote.
