Post-election Gallup poll: Biden favorability rises to 55% while Trump's dips to 42%
According to a new poll from Gallup, President-elect Joe Biden’s favorability rating is up following the conclusion of the election while President Donald Trump’s has dipped.
Biden’s approval rating, according to this survey, is at 55%, which is the highest since he entered the 2020 race. He polled slightly higher in February of 2019, two months before he declared his candidacy.
Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating is at 42%, down three points from before the election, when it reached its highest at 49% in both February and the spring.

IIRC, Trump's favorability never rose above 50% except on a Rasmussen poll. Biden isn't even President yet and he's already better than Trump.

Wait till Biden is the one in the hot seat.

Is there any doubt he'll handle it better than Trump ever did?

Hello Dutch Uncle,
Well of course he will, but you know how it works. Trump isn't the first president to be held responsible for things out of his control by the media, with the naive public eating it all up.

Most people are smart. Smart enough to keep their mouths shut about things they don't fully understand.
OTOH, stupid people are more than dumb enough to open their yaps about things they don't understand. Ergo; the common perception that "the media" or "the public" is the core problem.

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

Agreed. Any of the sane JPP members would make a better President than Trump. Still, Biden has the experience and the contacts. I hope he does well.
FWIW, Ronald Reagan wasn't the smartest guy in the room. No leader has to be the smartest guy in the room. All they need to do is exactly what Reagan did: hire the smartest people, listen to their advice, develop a consensus then explain to the American people his plan for the future. I think Biden will do this, but time will tell.
Additionally, I think Biden will set up his administration then, over the next two years, slowly expand Kamala's authority. Biden, as all good leaders know, will accept full responsibility for any failures and give credit to all those who worked to resolve the issue. Unlike this asshole:

As long as there is this rapacious greed and money in politics the people will always get shafted. My family and I are suffering the consequences of corruption in government for the last four years via the broken and criminal family court system so I have zero tolerance. A fish rots from the head down and our government is filled with rot and that includes both parties...only the Dem party is less Fascist and throws some crumbs at the masses. We can do a lot better than either of them. There is a way for Biden and the feckless Dem Congress thru a loophole to provide Med4All which in turn would guarantee them election wins aside from giving the people what they desperately need and want but they are owned by the for-profit health insurance industrial complex so they will not pull that lever. Screw them all!!!Agreed. Any of the sane JPP members would make a better President than Trump. Still, Biden has the experience and the contacts. I hope he does well.

I tend to agree on your assessment of government and the problems of flawed leadership.
IMO, the solution is two-fold, 1) elect better people and 2) greater participation by the citizenry.

Biden already more popular than Trump ever was.

True, but it was a bar so low even a 78 year old man could leap over it.
