As Joe Biden’s sham of a presidency draws to a close, White House staffers paint a grim picture of an administration in its final days. Sources describe the executive mansion’s atmosphere as “glum” and “morgue-like,” with longtime Washington observers noting an unprecedented sense of defeat permeating the corridors of power.

Let that sink in for a moment. The seat of American power reduced to a funeral parlor.

Indeed, the mood inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue appears well-justified, as new polling data reveals a stunning verdict from the American people.

In what many are calling the most damaging assessment of a modern presidency, a comprehensive Daily Mail poll conducted by J.L. Partners has uncovered a startling truth: When asked to summarize Joe Biden’s time in office, the most common response from American voters was simply “nothing.”

The devastating poll, which surveyed 1,009 registered voters, found that more than half of Americans cannot name a single achievement from Biden’s four years in office. Even more telling, 37 percent of respondents “strongly agreed” that they could not identify one accomplishment from his tenure.

Economic Pain Defines Era

If you’ve visited a grocery store lately, you already know the painful truth. While “nothing” dominated overall responses, Americans who did elaborate pointed to economic struggles as Biden’s lasting legacy. Inflation and economic hardship featured prominently in voters’ assessments, reflecting the kitchen table issues that have plagued ordinary families.

“U.S. consumer prices climbed at a faster rate in December,” the final month of Biden’s term, indicating that even as he exits office, the president’s economic policies continue to burden American households.

Social media reactions to the poll findings have been unsparing.

“Destroying the economy and enriching his family off of the American taxpayers,” wrote one citizen. Meanwhile, another observed, “He’s wrecked our country and gotten dirty rich while doing it.”

But if doing “nothing” was the only problem, we might count ourselves lucky. If there’s one area where Biden’s presidency wasn’t marked by inaction, it was his systematic dismantling of border security. A separate Economist/YouGov survey identified “border and immigration handling” as Biden’s biggest failure in office.

The border catastrophe has left an indelible mark on American communities, with unprecedented waves of illegal crossings straining resources and raising serious national security concerns. This crisis alone has shaped public perception of an administration that seemed unable or unwilling to protect America’s sovereign borders.

Questions Of Capability

Adding to the administration’s troubles, serious concerns about Biden’s cognitive capacity have shadowed his final year. In December, CBS News reporter Jan Crawford made headlines by identifying Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” as 2024’s most underreported story.

This observation aligns with growing public unease about presidential leadership during critical times. While the White House has consistently dismissed such concerns, the “nothing” verdict from American voters suggests these questions resonated deeply with the public.

As the Biden era draws to a close, Americans appear eager to turn the page on what polls suggest they view as a lost four years. With President-elect Donald Trump preparing to return to the White House, the stark contrast between public expectations and presidential delivery under Biden serves as a powerful reminder of leadership’s fundamental importance.

The legacy of “nothing” stands as a cautionary tale about the costs of ineffective leadership during challenging times. As one administration exits and another prepares to take the reins, Americans’ clear-eyed assessment of Biden’s tenure suggests voters are ready for decisive action on the issues that matter most to their families and their nation’s future.

Key Takeaways: 

• The majority of Americans summarize Biden’s presidency with a single word: “Nothing.”
• Over half of voters are unable to name a single Biden achievement after four years.
• Border crisis and inflation stand as defining failures of the administration.
• White House described as “morgue-like” as the administration prepares for the exit.
