it appears--per the poll at least that Biden is leaving office LESS popular than Trump.

Biden Leaves Office Less Popular Than Trump After January 6

For a good portion of the 2024 general-election contest, the big choice for voters was between a very old but very normal Democrat with a questionable record on inflation and immigration, and a somewhat younger but erratic Republican who never accepted his 2020 defeat and tried to overturn it with the help of a mob that assaulted the U.S. Capitol. Partisans on both sides thought the choice was pretty easy to make, but in the end, the voters who decided this thing broke toward Donald Trump in an implicit acceptance of his conduct on January 6, 2021.

There were some other things going on in the crucial days of the campaign, ranging from varying reactions to Kamala Harris’s style and substance to rosy if ahistorical memories of what life was like during the pre-insurrectionary moments of the Trump administration. But in the end, a return to Trump seemed better to a small but crucial slice of the population than a continuation of Democratic rule.

That’s certainly what the election results, close as they were, appear to suggest, and it looks like we’ll have a secondary verification of that interpretation of events in the final job-approval ratings of the 46th president, as opposed to the 45th. At the absolute nadir of his tenure, in the days between January 6 and Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021, Donald Trump’s job approval ratings dropped from 42.4 percent to 38.4 percent, according to the FiveThirtyEight averages. At present, Biden’s job-approval rating according to the same averages is 37.1 percent; it has been below 38 percent since November 26. The odds of a preinaugural rebound don’t look good.

Sometimes, personal favorability numbers look significantly different than job approval, particularly in a president with poor luck. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with these two men. At the end of January 2021, Trump’s favorability average was 38.8 percent, almost identical to his final job-approval ratings. Now it’s at 47.3 percent, higher than at any point since he left office the first time; by Inauguration Day, his favorability ratio may reach net positive numbers for the first time since regular polling of him began in 2015. Biden’s favorability ratios were at net positive levels throughout 2021, but have regularly deteriorated ever since. His favorability average is now at 38.5 percent, barely above his job-approval ratings..................................................

A Biden self-pardon may resolve the question before a less favorable Republican court.

and biden ain't it

trump does not care of biden committed a crime or not. something will be ginned up

Whether one can pardon one’s own self is one issue. Another is whether a blanket pardon can be given for uncharged, unidentified, and unknown infractions.

The Ford pardon of Nixon apparently fit the description of pardoning for "uncharged, unidentified, and unknown infractions".

It also require Nixon to release a statement of contrition, and was specifically focused on Watergate. I’m not sure what the imagined transgressions Biden would be acknowledging.

be throwing subpoenas at him like a paper storm blew in. They will do anything to get a "contempt of Congress" or "lying to Congress" meme going and pass it along to the incoming fascist DOJ.

When a new chimp siezes power of a chimp colony, he ousts all the young males, kills all the offspring of the last leader and mates with every female to ensure the survival of his genes. So every despot from time out of mind uses the same game plan. Avoiding that outcome was what made the U.S.A. unique. Until a pos traitor destroyed it.

Better pardon every registered Democrat in the U.S. Issue an executive order that every registered Democrat working in public service has a lifetime position and can't be fired.Hell, make it cover every currently employed public servant.

Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.
