Biden Seen as More Likable, Trump as Better Leader

Biden Seen as More Likable, Trump as Better Leader

"SNIP...........

Gallup: “Many more Americans say Biden is likable than say Trump is (57% to 37%), while Biden retains a smaller advantage on being honest and trustworthy (46% to 35%).”

“Trump has a big edge on leadership — 57% to 38% — the only item he scored better than Biden on in 2020. Trump has gained a modest edge for managing the government (49% to 39%) because of Biden’s lower 2024 rating on that item.”

“The two candidates are evenly matched on two items that were not asked in 2020 — being intelligent and putting the country’s interests ahead of their own political interests. On two others — cares about the needs of people like you (Biden 48%, Trump 42%) and displaying good judgment in a crisis (Trump 45%, Biden 40%) — the differences are not statistically meaningful.”

The fact he was able to secure the position with his less than mediocre credentials can be misconstrued as a leadership quality. But goddamn that’s a fucking stretch.

...he's a better con-man, I guess. Con-men do have leadership qualities. Still, I think people should look at his last year as a leader- President. It's right there with GWB an Hoover.

I'd be okay with that, if they weren't endangering the rest of us.

Ad Nauseam. I thought most people don’t see that kind of personality as likable.
I guess I thought I knew people better.

And Trump is the biggest Ass****. Sometimes that works, but you also have to have a soul, a heart and a brain.

7 months out, before the conventions even. Biden has already established himself as more pleasant, decent and honest. TSF doesn't have a reliable way to change that, especially with how he campaigns. If showing strong leadership is the goal, Biden's perfectly positioned as POTUS to do so, with publicity galore.
