Per 538, Biden's approval is at the highest it's been since his inauguration.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/

His 55 percent average approval is the highest it’s been since immediately after his inauguration.

It’s also worth noting that Biden’s approval/disapproval is 55/39, or +16. Trump spent much of his term around 45/55, or -10.

It means that roughly the same 55 percent that disapproved of Trump, approve of Biden, which makes sense. But there’s a 6 percent difference between Trump’s approval and Biden’s disapproval...meaning there’s a small but not insignificant amount of voters that approved of Trump, but DONT disapprove of Biden.

Do you know any "independents" that are actually independents?

I ask because I know a few people who will claim to be independents, but all they do is spew right-wing talking points and vote for Republicans. My neighbor swears that he's an independent because he voted for Obama in 2008...but leaves out that he's voted straight ticket GOP in every election since then.

Thank you, DU, for being my blue oasis in the sea of red I live in.

Just 48 hours remain in the Trump presidency. I discovered DU shortly after his term began and joined shortly after I lurked for a couple months. I was looking for a place where I could talk about Democratic ideals, something I desperately needed considering I live in a deeply red county in Indiana.

Since then, I spend no less than a couple hours a day surfing DU, it gave me the confidence to join my local Democratic party and work to help flip the mayoral seat blue in 2018 (which we did!!).

I don't post a ton, and I'm far from the most relevant posters here. But regardless, as Trump's term comes to an end, I just wanted to say thank you to DU and all it's posters for keeping me sane over the last 4 years.
