I'm a poll watcher. I like numbers. It's occurred to me that these Hamas atrocities may be the best thing for Joe politically.
Americans loooooove their presidents when there's war and the threat of war. Just go to my 538 link and scroll down to the "How Biden compares with past presidents" section...Bush 1 and 2 in particular.
Me? I surprise myself in how strategically hawkish I've been in recent years. I opposed the Trump plan to remove troops from Afghanistan and, of course, "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap's" disastrous execution of the plan.
No one here has been more in favor of US support for Ukraine. My only problem is that I think that the Doddering Old Fool has been weak and inept...merely working for a slow defeat of Ukraine.
On Hamas, I've been opposed to evil on both sides but I favor the right of Israel to attack Hamas in the wake of the atrocities. Biden has surprised me on Hamas. He's been far stronger than I anticipated...the string-pullers have been, anyway.
If I'm ever contacted in a Approve/ Disapprove poll for Biden, I doubt I'll ever say that I approve, after all his failures but, gang, I have to admit that he's doing better right now that he's done in the past.
Sooner or later, he's going to have to acknowledge that Iran's the real problem in the Middle East. But, he's got time for the moment.
Anyway, Joe's popularity is lower than any president, save Carter. But, with a good war? Who knows!!!!!?
