    I don’t think Joe Biden is underappreciated, it’s just that the main issue is of Gaza War, and people just don’t like how Israel conduct their war campaign and how US responded. No one reasonable would support Hamas, and any people with a moral compass would rather support a war campaign that minimizes deaths of civilians over those who signed up for combat.

      But the reality check is that Gaza isn’t the main issue, it’s just the most recent one. And even if it were the GOP would handle it far worse than Biden has.

        I’m saying the Gaza war is why Biden has the level of support that he has today, and I’m aware that GOP would have handled it far worse. Without the issue of Gaza, I can see Biden having significantly more support than he has now.

      That’s a good point but most people care more about the economy and his approval ratings were shit before Gaza.
