Republicans Really, Really Dislike Joe Biden

Geoffrey Skelley: “Members from the other party were once more willing to give a new president some benefit of the doubt early on — or at least, their opposition was not quite so baked in.”

“What’s more, there hasn’t been a corresponding change in how strongly the president’s own party feels about him. Members of the president’s party overwhelmingly support him, but there hasn’t been an uptick in those who say they strongly approve of him.”

“This lack of crossover support for presidents in their first term in office points toward one of the most animating forces in American politics today: Increased disdain and hatred of one’s political opponents.”
