The article highlights Biden&#8217;s \u200cadmiration for Franklin D.

Recall, for instance, that in that speech Biden tried to portray himself as a defender of democracy at home and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>In a larger sense, however, the comparison with FDR provides a perfect segue into Biden&rsquo;s reality check.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/654878\/americans-think-history-rate-biden-presidency-negatively.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gallup<\/a> released the results of a Dec. 2-18 poll.<\/p>\n<p>In short, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/just-5-percent-of-parents-want-unions-to-have-final-say-on-return-to-classroom\/\" title=\"Just 5 Percent of Parents Want Unions to Have Final Say on Return to Classroom\">poll respondents<\/a> rated Biden the second-worst president in modern history. Only Richard Nixon rated lower.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in one sense, that should discourage us. After all, Nixon won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/statistics\/elections\/1972\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1972 presidential election<\/a> by a now-unfathomable margin of 520-17 in the Electoral College. He also won the popular vote by more than 23 points. Still, less than two years later the establishment&rsquo;s Watergate narrative drove him from office. And today &mdash; clearly &mdash; many Americans still believe that narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, poll respondents at least got it right with respect to Biden.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, of the ten men who have served as president since 1961, no one received a higher percentage of &ldquo;poor&rdquo; ratings than Biden&rsquo;s 37 percent. Combined with the 17 percent who rated him &ldquo;below average,&rdquo; and compared to only 19 percent of combined respondents who rated him either &ldquo;outstanding&rdquo; or &ldquo;above average&rdquo; &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/msnbc-hits-rock-bottom-3-different-shows-record-time-ratings-lows-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSNBC<\/a> viewers, no doubt &mdash; Biden&rsquo;s negative-35 net rating placed him only slightly above Nixon&rsquo;s negative-42.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, an astonishing 16 percent of Democrats rated Biden as &ldquo;below average&rdquo; or &ldquo;poor.&rdquo; Only 12 percent rated him &ldquo;outstanding.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In sum, the delusional Biden desperately wants Americans to regard him as a consequential president who did good things.<\/p>\n<p>The reality, however, suggests that Americans have already relegated Biden to history&rsquo;s dustbin where he belongs.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
