Biden’s Problem Is the Same One Obama Had in 2012

David Frum: “When wise people explain Biden’s bad poll numbers, they cite objective facts in the real world: inflation, crime, etc. Yet Obama had almost an opposite set of facts (no inflation in 2011!) — and got almost exactly the same poll numbers.”

“My hypothesis: Obama/Biden poll numbers in 2011 and 2023 tell us less about the world – more about the inherent problems of managing the Democratic coalition, which is always more fractious and fissile than the (smaller) Republican coalition.”
