Biden is now less popular than the guy Democrats call Darth Vader
We don’t want to say people don’t like the Vice President, but his popularity has plunged so low that he barely outscores gonorrhea.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Vice President Joe Biden’s favorable rating has fallen to 42 percent in a new Gallup poll, down from a high of 59 percent just after last year’s election. Biden’s unfavorable rating in the new poll is 40 percent, up from 29 percent last November. (Eighteen percent of those surveyed say they have no opinion of Biden.)
Biden’s average favorable rating during his time in office so far is 45 percent — well below the average 65 percent favorable rating for Vice President Dick Cheney during Cheney’s first year in office. Vice President Al Gore’s favorable rating during his first year, 55 percent, was also higher than Biden’s. (Gallup did not measure vice presidential popularity before Gore.)
Biden’s rating has fallen most dramatically among independents. Last November, 55 percent of them had a favorable impression of Biden. Now, it’s 32 percent. Biden’s favorable rating among Democrats is 73 percent, down from 88 percent last December, and among Republicans it is 18 percent, down from 33 percent last year.
On the other hand, Biden is still very popular among columnists and bloggers in need of punch lines.

Joe Biden is not a very bright man, he’s survived with big talk & congressional power with little to actually back up what he says.
Cheney says little, but when he does, backs it up with facts & deeds.
So, for those scoring at home…
Biden = Steakumm… Cheney = New York Strip
…one is worth the price, the other ain’t, & I love New York Strip.
Joe Biden gives speeches like Brad Pitt rides a motorcycle.
Funny story. I was playing chess with Joe Biden once. He’s not very good at at it and I was able to check mate him pretty quickly. You won’t believe what happened next. He grabbed the King and swallowed it! I kid you not. I felt like I was negotiating with an Iranian.
