President Obama was elected in 2008 with 52.9% of the popular vote, and in 2012 with 50.5%, joining FDR, Eisenhower, and Reagan as the only POTUSs twice elected with over 50% of the popular vote. He completed his two terms with 60% approval.
He was succeeded by Trump who received 46.1% of the popular vote, 2.1% less than his opponent. He completed his one term with 34% approval, his lowest rating of four years of relentlessly negative assessments.
Biden won in 2020 with 51.3% of the popular vote, maintaining positive approval numbers for his first seven months in office, but then falling to his current 42.2%, with no surge in the offing.
Given the divisive, hyper-partisan nature of American politics today, and the refusal to accept the will of the People by a sizable faction of losers, do you think that the U.S. can ever again elect a President who commands the respect of most Americans?
