Rally around the flag.

The same thing happened to Carter early in the Iran hostage situation.
I know, but I am surprised Biden leads by this much with his approval that high.

Oh, another crappy Fox News poll. March 20-22, 2016 Fox News found Clinton up 11 over Trump. "But he wasn't the incumbent then" - I would respect that argument more if the undecided/other numbers were drastically less in this one. They aren't. 49-38 Clinton in 2016 and 49-40 Biden in this one. Says a lot people believe this one over the WaPo/ABC news one, which has little/no undecideds.
Kind of cherrypicking... from mid-summer 2015 to March 2016, the Fox poll fluctuated from Hillary +11 (the poll you mentioned) to Trump +5. Biden's lead has fluctuated between +8 and +12.

I chose the March one because that's the same point we're at now. But regardless thanks for proving my point that Fox polls tend to be crappy. They often have high undecideds and Trump +5 was never near the average during 2016 and this time they consistently have Biden way ahead of his average.
I agree. I am mainly just saying that trying to compare polls, even year to year, is usually pointless as the campaigns are usually at different points (IIRC, Trump was like -40 in favorability around then due to the contentious Republican primary).
