From the article:

HEADLINE: 
Biden Begins Term With 57% Job Approval.

From the body:
Biden receives near unanimous approval from his fellow Democrats, at 98%, and a
solid 61% approval rating among political independents. But Republicans are
unlikely to approve of Biden, with 11% doing so while 85% disapprove.

 BF>    74 million people can't be wrong, Trump is a stable genius.

Well, 8.5 million people were Nazis in 1945.

Over 1.6 billion (with a "b") people are Socialists right now.

If 74 million people can't be wrong then.... um, are you sure you want to stick
by that statement?
