There are growing signs that even while Democrats trying to do things that are popular, voters aren’t inclined to give them much credit for it.

Implicit in the pleas for Democrats to deliver on President Joe Biden's agenda is an adage that members of both parties know well: Good policy makes for good politics.

Democrats might have a hard time buying that during a critical phase for salesmanship and still more legislating.

There are growing signs that even while Democrats are trying to do things that are popular, voters aren't inclined to give them much credit for it. A Monmouth University poll out this week found support for the infrastructure bill and the Biden social-spending agenda well into the 60s -- with Biden's approval stuck in the low 40s.
