It is very early in the game to make any conclusions, I dont think that the people who just lost their jobs, due to his E.O.s, rate him very highly. WE also have to consider that Biden has a romance going with the media, the media made it clear they hated Trump from day one and did everything they could to provide negative spin.

Well of course it is! I don't expect the Democratically controlled media to show anything other, do you?
Even Chris Matthews complimented his plagiarized speech as one of the best ever. I'm sure Bill was pleased.

I, for one, am glad President Biden was elected and Trump was shown the door at the White House. I can't express how relieved I am. I've compared his victory to breathing in fresh air after breathing in nothing but toxic fumes for the last five years. I would have planned to attend his Inauguration if the circumstances of life were different (the COVID pandemic and far-right Trump loyalist threats). I have experienced some backlash for voting for him because I'm a lifelong Republican, but I don't care.

Just an observation here. You seem to put the line “I am a lifelong Republican” in every one of your posts. Is there a significance to it?
Romney is a life long Republican who is more to the left than the right. In fact he has a huge approval rating from the left. So I am not sure why this is an important thing for so many of your posts.
no offense, just strikes me as a curious thing.

That's not particularly surprising since Biden didn't get himself elected by deamonizing the right, and he's more interested in unity than division. Trump was ultimately his own worst enemy. His "divide and conquer" strategy worked well enough to get him elected, but it was a poor long term strategy for governing. It ended up alienating more than half of the US population who eventually became sick and tired of those types of methodologies and they came out in droves to get rid of him. Goodbye and good riddance.

I disagree about your assertion that Romney is more left than right. In terms of abortion issues, tax issues, etc, he's definitely way to the right, and he's a "moderate" Republican IMO. The reason his approval rating is high, particularly among left centered individuals is because he courageously voted his *conscience* in the first impeachment trail rather than vote based on fear and party politics. I do respect him for that, but I still wouldn't vote for him as President because of his *policies*, which are pretty far to the right IMO. Had other Republican voted their conscience, they could have saved our nation from the tragedy of 01/06/21, and saved American lives as well.
The GOP is at a crossroads IMO. Either they wake up and acknowledge the damage that Trump did to their party and start voting their conscience, or they are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past and ensure democratic victories for the foreseeable future. It's their call and their choice to make. I frankly wouldn't be surprised to see Trump start up his own 'Patriot Party" just to spite the moderate Republicans in the next election and damage the GOP intentionally. He's a vindictive person.

...he left office at an over all approval rating of 38% (and a 58% disapproval). Only President Carter was lower, with 33%. His highest rating was his 5th day in office and that was a 47%. He never got higher than that in the rest of his entire 4 years in office.

How bad is that considering apx 50 of the people are not Trump supporters? If he is at 49% he has apx 100% approval of the people who would likely ever vote for him.

That reflects this past election cycle. Trump's base remained solid throughout his term, with about 42%, of Americans. Interestingly, though, that support fell after the Capitol Building riots.

...and that was day 5 into his administration. He never had that high of a rating again for the other 1,456 days of his administration.

It will no doubt go up and down but he will maintain his control of the party.

He has control of his party and that is all that matters at this point.

We'll see. It does have Republicans scared and walking a tight rope when they are on the air.

And that's the thing.
"Control" ... isn't what will ultimately win in a democratic America.
Donald Trump is the epitome of "my house ... my rules" type of kid you knew as a child. Yes, ... he has control of his house, ... but, eventually, ... everybody leaves to find a fairer place to play.
As long as America remains reasonably democratic, ... we must ensure that "control" remains a failed strategy ...
