Biden Approval Rating
I know I feel far less stressed and agitated since Biden took office. I love waking up without a sense of dread or 45K overnight unhinged, insanity tweets.
From article:
President Joe Biden begins his term with the backing of a majority of Americans.... Biden begins his term with a positive job rating of 54% approve and 30% disapprove. Another 16% have no opinion. The current presidential rating is already higher than it was at any point during Donald Trump's term in office.

Biden Approval Rating
But do you think it's just higher because of how Terrible Trump was?

Not really. I think it's higher because of the swift actions he's taking, the people he's installing in his cabinet, the level of calm that he's leading with and the way he's conducting himself and his administration. We are seeing a return to a more presidential and normal functioning WH and I think that is resonating with people.
The last four years have felt so chaotic and tumultuous that I think most Americans are appreciating an administration that isn't really in your face 24/7, or a revolving door of cabinet members or an endless tweeting stream of anger and division. Whether someone likes Biden or not it would be hard to argue the fact that things feel more normal and calm again.
I really like NOT having to think about the president every day, 24/7. I feel like I can trust that things are running the way they are suppose to again.

Re: Biden Approval Rating
There are so many factors. Other than trump and Bush Jr., every President since at least Truman started in the "higher than 50%" range. I think most people give most new Presidents the benefit of the doubt. Also, in the first 100 days they haven't had a chance to do a lot of negative things.
Calm and "being Presidential" is definitely a huge factor in the positive rating. I think a lot of people are optimistic about the new pandemic response, and stimulus check. Of course, if things go downhill, his ratings will follow. If he can get the country ahead of the pandemic, and infections go down, vaccinations go up, and people can start doing things, his approval ratings will go up quite a bit.
But since a certain ex-president cares so much about numbers, I'm just glad that no matter what else happens, Biden had a higher approval rating than trump ever had...
