I don't think this is the case at all, especially considering that his disapproval among republicans has been skyrocketing since Trump came on the scene[1]. It's mostly that distain for Trump just sort of replaced distain for W among Dems and people who lean left.

Also, I don't think anyone is looking at the economy under Biden and pining for W. 2008 wasn't recent, but it wasn't *that* long ago that people have forgotten it.

There is nothing pinning W for the 2008 mortgage crisis. That is just the talking points of the DNC and national media.

Could be. People have a short memory though. Most of the Bush years weren't bad, but Bidens time in office have has been terrible for people. You also didn't address the fact that most people don't even think he is mentally capable to hold the office. That's a pretty big deal imo. I'm not sure that we've ever had a president with dementia before.
