What happens when the wood around the adhesive rots out? That glue just masks the real problem. @kai_bennett got lucky, but most of the time you're just gluing a bad post to more bad wood. You need to check what's going on under there.

I tried that once and it held for years, honestly.

My uncle's deck used that method and it lasted 15 years in coastal weather.
