Friendly reminder that Ronald Reagan was called senile so often it became a running gag on SNL and the late night shows. He then won 49 of 50 states in the 1984 election.

Friendly reminder that Reagan's approval ratings were above 50% the entire year of 1984, and in the upper 50s by June.

No president is going to have approval above 50% for the foreseeable future.

This is true, but only because no president will have any desire to try. I think a lot of people forget that Biden was extremely popular for his first 100 days

No desire to try? How does a normal president appeal to the kind of person who would vote for Trump?

well for one you don't actually need to, he's at ~40% favorability right now; the best way to win an election is to appeal to those who don't have a candidate yet that being said if you do want to appeal to trump voters he's winning on every issue except abortion right now so he could work on that
