That's what this articles is about, but policies passed during the Biden admin have also been popular, though according to these sources some not well advertised enough.

I tried but it's harder to find polling on very specific executive department actions and regulations though, like the SAVE student loan repayment plan changes for example. So harder to say on those.
Biden ran on a bunch of popular proposed policies, but then got into office and suddenly a lot of those policies “weren’t practical”. My point is that I don’t care about what Biden says, his actions speak much louder.
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/biden-promise-tracker/ Honestly, for a politician, that's a pretty high follow-through rate. If his term ends and all the stalled and in-progress convert to compromise or failed, hes still gonna stack up pretty good.
28% may look low without context, but compare it to previous single term presidents... and if he gets a second term, he's on track to do very well.
Biden pivoted to the big money donors.
FDR, the greatest president, welcomed the hatred of the superrich. That's when the Dems had 80% of the Congress, and presidential term limits were first introduced to defend the ultrawealthy from another FDR.
So FDR welcomed the hatred of his domestic foes, the superrich. Biden is a back slapping whore who wants to be loved by all, because he isn't decisive, and lacks a clear vision for America. He's a third way triangulator. He can't figure out why no one likes him when he tries to cater to two political groups that despise each other and have opposite policy preferences: the poor and the working class on the one hand, and the superrich on the other.
Okay, I was linking polling about actual policies that were passed and implemented though, and those were popular with people.
