Jobs: President Biden’s first year was the greatest year of job creation in American history, with more than 6 million jobs created.

Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate dropped from 6.2% when Biden took office to 3.9%, the biggest single year drop in American history.

Unemployment Claims: The average number of Americans filing for unemployment has been near its lowest level since 1969. When the President took office, over 18 million were receiving unemployment benefits, today only 2 million are—also the biggest single year drop in history.

Economic Legislation Passed: Most significant by economic impact of any first-year president.

Child Poverty: Experts estimate the lowest child poverty rate ever in 2021.

Expanded Access to Health Care: Nearly 5 million Americans have newly gained health insurance coverage.

Reduced Hunger: The number of households reporting that they sometimes or often did not have enough food to eat dropped by 32%.

Judges Confirmed: More judges confirmed to lower federal courts than any president since President Kennedy.

Judges That Reflect Our Nation: More Black women appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals than any president – even over 8 years – in history.

Cabinet: First majority non-white Cabinet in history, with most women in the Cabinet, including first woman Treasury Secretary, first LGBTQ+ and Native American Cabinet officials, and first woman Director of National Intelligence.

Climate Investments: Largest investments ever in the power grid, electric vehicle chargers, and climate resilience.

Clean Water: Largest investment and national, bipartisan plan to get safe and clean drinking water to all Americans.

Cleaner Cars: Strongest vehicle emissions standards ever to save drivers money at the pump and reduce pollution.

Wind: First-ever approvals of large-scale offshore wind projects.

Personnel: Most diverse Administration in history – most women, people of color, disability, LGBTQ+, first generation American, and first-generation college graduates.

Not just w/ jobs but the economy as a whole. He n his advisers have developed a good plan and I don’t understand why his approval numbers are lagging.

They cannot let a Democratic president have success, or let the public find out that liberal policies are best for them.

There is not a better performance by a prez in every category in recent history than Joe, but the media will keep pounding him with bullshit and his numbers won't improve.

Not sure it will even matter given that this November GOP states are NOT going to certify the elections they lose.

The MSM likes to stoke the fires to keep things stirred up for ratings. You'll never see the nightly news lead off with these statistics.

They do more harm to our country than anything else. Heck, they're also responsible for shoving tfg down our throats constantly in 2016.

Damn right they are. Hugely responsible. “Oh, look, Trump is breathing!

I’m just as passed at them as I am at everyone who voted for him.

50. The problem is, a president gets both the credit & the blame for most things.

Gas is at an all time high. Yes Putin is the cause of much of it, but prices had been quickly increasing long before UKR became a focal point. Costs for everything are way up. STILL long wait times for just about everything major.
Much of the trouble is a residual from the pandemic & all the shutdowns across the world. But then the pandemic is also why trump ended up with negative jobs; before covid he also had a high number of jobs added Again, he gets the credit/blame for the dismal final number. And Biden shouldn't be blamed for problems that couldn't just disappear after we started emerging from the covid malaise. But the president gets the blame/credit.
And the vast majority of people only look at how THEY are doing to judge who's in office. They're not on DU & they don't pay attention to much politics before election month.
It aint fair, but thats the way it is.
