In reply to the discussion: Most Democrats Don't Want Biden in 2024, New Poll Shows [View all]Politicub
(12,163 posts)Another poll shows that support for democrats has increased in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/democrats-get-bounce-in-polls-after-roe-v-wade-is-overturned/ar-AAZqkJf?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=eda04a6b685d4a42facf6c9325d7280d
The question then becomes, why isn't Biden experiencing an increase in his approval rating if people are supporting democrats more overall?
This picture may change as time goes on. But if recent polling is correct, then the democratic party is more popular than its leader.
Popularity isn't the only barometer of electoral success. It can't be denied that it is a factor, though.
It's a sensitive topic on DU for good reason. Personally, I worry that I come across as someone who does not support Biden. Of course, I do support him but not everything that he does (nomination of Biggs for example really, really bothers me).
I also am worried about the damaging decisions the Supreme Court will continue to make if something doesn't change about it (expanding the number of justices of whatever). The decisions aren't Biden's fault. I do fault the senate democrats who are clinging to the filibuster excuse as standing in the way of abortion rights, voting rights, and makeup of the court.
It's a complicated time right now. I will always vote for democratic candidates up and down the ticket and will throw my full support behind Biden or whoever our standard bearer is for 2024.
