Gallup: “Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults believe Biden will be remembered as a ‘below average’ (37%) or ‘poor’ (17%) president, while 19% say he will be evaluated as ‘outstanding’ (6%) or ‘above average’ (13%). Another 26% think he will be regarded as ‘average.’”
Save to FavoritesIf you follow politics closely, you know some of the most powerful ideas in history weren’t just argued — they were designed, printed, and plastered on walls.
That’s why I recommend Propaganda Posters, a site that curates and sells some of the most iconic political posters from history. The prints are high quality, richly detailed, and full of bold, vivid color — the kind that immediately draws your eye and holds it.
I’ve been genuinely impressed with how good these posters look in person. They feel substantial, display beautifully, and turn political history into real, conversation-starting art.
If you’re a Political Wire reader who appreciates the power of political messaging, this is a collection worth seeing.
