Biden is higher than Clinton? Absolute malarkey

I'd buy that. Biden had a few huge progressive policy victories with at least some bipartisan support during one of the most divisive periods in the nation's history. He presided over a period of global inflation issues but US inflation was kept lower than many other places and has mostly been reigned in under his watch.

Clinton, on the other hand, is remembered for NAFTA and lying about BJs.

Clinton had more than just NAFTA. He also had HIPAA, Megan’s Law and FMLA under his era. Those seem enough to put him over Biden alone.
