This piece by @blauwsteen gets at this crucial aspect of Biden's political identity: the man of suffering who can relate to the others in grief. A brilliant piece.https://newrepublic.com/article/153910/joe-biden-audacity-grief …

Pretty sure Obama’s own approvals followed a similar pattern. Not sure this is all because of Beau’s death.

+1....You should simply map Biden approvals with Obama approvals and I bet you 80%+ of the same approval movements. Also, we usually see the outgoing 2 term Prez. approvals always go up their last year. Happened to Clinton, Reagan and Obama.

Fascinating, but isn't a confounding variable in that graph that Obama was entering his last 2 years in office and was considered a lame duck president? Pre-emptive nostalgia, bipartisan comity when nothing is going to get done?
