The cure for Biden's approval woes
President Joe Biden's approval ratings have been sinking for months, and last week's election results felt like a slap in the face to Democrats. To hear some of the analysis, you'd think the Biden's presidency is done. Don't believe it.
--snip--
The President needs to re-sell himself to the country. He needs to remind middle America the policies he is pursuing are not radical, even if his opponents paint them so. They are aimed at improving living standards for all Americans. He needs to talk more about content, and when forced to discuss cost, make sure people understand they are part of a fiscally responsible package that will not add to the debt unlike (even the pre-pandemic) policies of the previous administration.
And he must erase the impression he is beholden to the most intransigent, most extreme members of his party.
Democrats can win only if they work together and convince others they're working for all. Most Republicans today would not support a Democrat, but independents and the less-partisan conservatives are open-minded.
Biden has had some rocky months, but he has a very good chance of strengthening his position. In sharp contrast to his predecessor, Biden is uncomfortable boasting, but he needs to let people understand the magnitude of what he has achieved. The economy is mostly doing very well. He has scored important victories, and he is not a wild-eyed radical. If he does that, his approval ratings will climb as quickly as they fell.
