Option 2 low bar, although Carter was a better person.

There are some older people who do, I think most younger people who pay attention to politics especially recognize that Reaganomics is what has led to many of the problems of today.

I don't disagree, I was just pointing out that Reagan's appeal isn't limited to OSR.

No opinion. 

*I defer to those who benefited from his college loan forgiveness program thingy*

I’m actually surprised he doesn’t have poll numbers in the 60s.

They're similar on foreign policy, I'll grant you that Biden is better at working with Congress than Obama was. It's mainly on domestic/economic policies where I think Obama did better.

No, just since Carter...and if he loses and Trump undoes everything, it'll dip below that and he'll just be another sellout like Obama and Clinton.

Granted there's no hindsight to measure this, but I wouldn't go that far. Biden has a more ambitious agenda than Clinton/Obama did which is being obstructed and I don't think it's fair to blame him if Trump undoes it.

They're similar on foreign policy, I'll grant you that Biden is better at working with Congress than Obama was. It's mainly on domestic/economic policies where I think Obama did better.

I don't think they're that similar honestly. Compare how Biden handled Russia's invasion of Ukraine to how Obama handled Crimea in 2014. Also, in general Biden's foreign policy has been more coherent, and in general less flawed than Obama's was. In terms of Domestic/Economic Policy, I agree Obama had a deeper hole to dig the country out of economically, and to his credit he did keep it from getting worse, but the recovery was, until his 2nd term, weak and in general was very uneven.  I do think given the majorities he had in 2009-10, he could've accomplished more than he did, whereas if Biden had anything close to Supermajorities in 2021-22, we'd have a modern New Deal or Great Society today.

Maybe. Let's see if he gets a second term and whether he can build on his resume from there.

I always try not to give in to recency bias.

Biden's foreing policy is what one would expect of an american president.
There is a reason why he referenced Reagan in the last SOTU.
