President Biden on Sunday shrugged off his slumping approval ratings in recent weeks as he met with global leaders in Europe, arguing cyclical polls are part of the job and that he's focused on his agenda.
"The polls are going to go up and down and up down," Biden said at a press conference at the conclusion of the Group of 20 (G-20) Summit in Rome. "They were high early, then they got medium, then they went back up, now they're low. Well look, look at every other president. The same thing has happened."
"That's not why I ran. I didn't run to determine how well I'm going to do in the polls," Biden continued. "I ran to make sure that I followed through on what I said I would do as president of the United States."
Biden said he would remain focused on addressing climate change, improving prospects for American workers and dealing with the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.

And that boys and girls is why I prefer a seasoned politician at the helm rather than a fake entrepreneur.

(43,157 posts)I seem to remember a certain guy who never managed to breach 49% approval in average polling in his entire four years in office.
I'll give you a hint: he lost the popular vote, twice. (And also was impeached, twice.)
