    63% approval rate for Biden?

    That's 37% less than the media.

    What did I say that was incorrect? I said these are temporary jobs and you just agreed with me but said I don't understand how pipeline jobs work. Also, the 11,000 jobs that would be "created" or not at the same time and wold happen only during peak construction times, so you won't have 11,000 people working it simultaneously. So what happens when planning ends? Do all those engineers and manufacturers disappear and will their business still exist. If you have proof those businesses will go belly up, send me a source.

    I understand it's a good paying job for those workers, but the economic benefit for a short term position isn't there for us when you consider tar sand oil is not your everyday crude oil. Tar sand oil is thicker and more corrosive than conventional oil leading to a higher likelihood there will be leaks. The original pipeline has leaked 12 times since 2010. Who's going to end up paying for the cleanup when it inevitably leaks into our water supply? Then you factor it refining tar sand oil produces 3-4 times as many pollutants as conventional oil along with more carbon emissions. At least it will lead to lower gas prices though. Oh wait, a majority of what's produced is going to be exported.

    So we get to take on all of the risk with little benefit. But hey, at least we got some short term jobs out of it.

    It's in the link. They took a representative sample of democrats, republicans and independents with varying age groups and races.

    What do you mean. Trump is the worst jobs president in history. Not Biden. You're going to have to wait a year for realistic report card. New to debating economics?

    Trump is officially the most unpopular president since modern polling began in the 1930s. It will forever be his legacy

    Biden already beat Trump's high. It's highly doubtful Biden will be the least unpopular POTUS in history beating out Trump. But who knows, maybe he'll do a lot of unpopular stuff. So far his ideas are popular.

    Biden is such a very decent guy and he signed Executive Orders to combat systemic racism within the first week. He's trying to keep his promises; including those that he made to black voters. He's a true ally.

    Not only that, the Hill/Harris poll is quite right leaning, so a 63% approval from them really does say something.

    In the internals, Biden's support is even among both genders and surprisingly, Biden is at 45% approval among rural voters, which are quite literally the GOP base.
    Also, the suburban and independent numbers track almost perfectly with the overall numbers.

    Geographically, the region where he is the weakest is not the South, but rather the midwest, where he is at 53%. But, the disapproval in the midwest is also down (30%) leaving more people simply undecided about him than in the Northeast, South or West.

    Interesting stuff.

    Trump had 3 millions less jobs when he left office then when he started... Biden has only been President for a week, too early to judge

    Trump had the Chinese Covid to deal with meanwhile Biden killed jobs right off the bat. So Biden is starting early and the early worm gets the bird!

    It was heading straight up until the communist Chinese unleashed a bioweapon to help Biden and the democrats.

    You have to be brain dead to think that way.

    Systemic racism only for 12.6% of the population? Will Biden continue to fund black colleges like Trump? Has Biden changed his views on school segregation?

    The lives of 13 percent of the population also matter. Americs should live up to its ideals. Yes, Biden will continue to support HBCU's and with Kamala an HBCU alumnae as his confidant, he will have the insight to do so with more passion and precision.

    Biden will still do much better then Trump

    Obama had the Bush crash and a pandemic and a party of "no" and spent less then Trump did in 4 years and still passed off a better economy

    Bush and Trump have set us back biggly

    Trump lost, you will get over it.....

    To be expected as even before Trump walked into the White House, the liberal media where eviscerating the election results and contesting that Hillary lost while you had law makers screaming "IMPEACH 45".

    The media was 24/7 with bashing the former president even before he won the presidency while the Media is glowing how great Biden is and excusing all the bat chit crazy stuff he has already done. Remind me again how transgender men competing in women's sports is a good idea?

    Remember the first executive orders from Trump. Media was clambering that Trump will legislate through executive orders and even Biden was bashing Trump on his executive orders and yet, he has outpaced Trumps executive action 17-4 in his first 2 weeks and now the media cheers it.

    The sad truth is that the media could report that the sky is purple and many Americans would walk outside and say "You know, they're right. It is purple." And these same people also believe that the government is better stewards of their life than they are.. I pity those sheep!

    Is this the washed up argument that the trumpkins of the world are using these days? Really?

    Weak sauce.

    Trump's early EOs were just undoing Obama's EOs. It's how things work.

    Cant agree with you there. Because the manner in which he should have taken it more seriously would have necessitated more shutdowns aka a harder hit economy and job market. He picked economy over health because there simply was no way we could help both at the same time.

    More like gets handed a "shitshow" and pours fuel on the fire. You're President, you have an economy is shambles, you have millions of unemployed, you have people scrounging their pennies because every dollar has to work twice as hard now, you have a virus that still surges rampantly.

    Within your first 72 hours in the chair you put ~10,000 people out of work and eliminate the opportunity for 100k future jobs, you broadcast to the energy futures market your intention to cripple America's fossil fuel industry thus prompting them to squeeze the consumer because they're going to make their money one way or another - to say nothing of the fact that when gas goes up everything goes up, and you open up the Mexican flood gates signaling to all of Central and South America that 'free stuff' is this way, just check the box wherever you see a (D) and COVID spreading by damned.

    You put people out of work, you made the things they buy cost more, and you amplified the threat to their heath and their job prospects. You did these things, literally, with the pen from your own hand - and you want to blame the last guy? Pfff, what moron is going to fall for that?

    It's his words, not mine. Ask him, considering he stated that you can't legislate through executive orders.
