The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.

    Well he promised a lot and hasn’t delivered on it. For example, he hasn’t even mentioned a public option since the election. His handling of the student loan debt thing seems like he’s purposely dragging his feet, and the latest report I heard about that makes it sound like he’s trying to cut back even further.

    He hasn’t been as bad as I thought he would be, he’s definitely the most pro-union person of my lifetime at least, but that doesn’t take away that some of the key campaign promises that he made he either hasn’t delivered on, hasn’t seemed to try to deliver on, or actively seems like he doesn’t want to.

      Dragging his feet on student loans? I feel like that’s the only campaign promise he’s been making a consistent effort on. He literally got shot down by the Supreme Court and has kept trying different strategies. The only times he’s reduced the scope of the proposed relief is once he’s been blocked at every turn.

      Even as someone with student loans, I’ve almost been frustrated that he’s been putting as much effort as he has into student loan relief while bigger issues see no action.
