What’s fascinating about this poll result is that more than half say he’s a puppet of the “radical left,” but Progressives (presumably the radical left as defined here) in Biden’s own party are taking him to task for being too moderate and centrist. Biden appears opposed to the $15 minimum wage component of stimulus; opposed to forgiveness of student loans and other issues important to the AOC, Bernie and Warren faction of the party. The fact that so many view Biden as being “radical left” is one more indication that our politics are incredibly divided and tribal. You either see the world as I do — or you’re the enemy. But because he seems to be frustrating both the right and Progressives probably means he’s not advocating as much extreme policy as these poll voters seem to think.
You’re probably right that Biden is not as extreme as his party but we’ll see what happens. Who really cares about the Federal min wage when Biden supports destroying the 2nd Amendment and being soft on China. The big stuff is what matters.
