Read The Poll Again Jack



Conservatives never believed he got 85 million votes. (This author would lay sizable odds that Barack Obama doesn’t believe it either.) Moderates are going broke with gas prices twice to three times what they were just two years ago. Blue collar Democrats are at odds with his severely misguided value system that lets boys into their daughters’ locker rooms. Liberals may be ok with that but can’t deal with the way crime has decimated their favorite blue cities. And Progressives think he hasn’t done enough to wreck the American system of meritocracy and excellence.

Nobody likes him.

The polls tell it all—and are likely not even telling the full story:

  • 64% of Democrats want him gone.
  • 81% of Hispanics disapprove of his job performance.
  • 99% of voters under 30 disapprove as well.

Last Tuesday on the White House lawn when asked about that 64% number amongst Democrats by a reporter calling out, he stopped, turned, and headed straight to the person who asked and barked at him to “Read the poll again Jack!”

Let’s face it, that’s the kind of reaction of someone with dementia, not the leader of the free world. Speaking of which—leaders of other states just laugh at him. His trip to the Middle East a prime example. The Israelis and the Saudis just sort of tolerated the puttering old man, who literally couldn’t put one foot in front of the other on a red carpet.

That must have been the poll where he cherry-picked the line where it said 95% of Dems support him IF he runs again against Trump.

Biden Job Approval Dips to New Low

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Joe Biden's job approval rating has fallen below 40% for the first time and now sits at a personal low of 38%. Between September and June, the president's rating had ranged narrowly between 40% and 43%. Before that, Biden mostly received majority approval ratings.

A year ago, Biden's honeymoon period came to an end when his approval rating dropped to 50% amid a surge in U.S. coronavirus cases. Since then, his public support has eroded after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the highest inflation in four decades, record-high gas prices and continuing supply chain issues.

The July 5-26 Gallup survey finds 59% of Americans disapproving of the job Biden is doing, the highest for him to date. A follow-up question finds 45% of Americans strongly disapproving of Biden's performance, compared with 13% who strongly approve.

There's More Bad News for Biden



The Left is intolerant of other views and the people who hold them. We brutally discovered that trend after the 2016 election. Sure, some conservatives have equal hatred of the liberal Democrats, but it’s nowhere near the levels exhibited by American progressives. For conservatives, it’s merely a matter of differing opinions. We may disagree on Second Amendment rights, so let’s focus on things we can share a mutual interest, like sports. The conservative Republican and the Bernie Sanders socialist can and do root for similar sports teams. Go down the list of entertainment, and it’s endless where politics doesn’t need to play much of a part, if at all. Television shows, movies, sports, restaurants, comic books, anime—the list of where both sides can enjoy things without getting into fisticuffs over Joe Biden is extensive.


For the Left, merely interacting with conservatives degrades your state of being. Liberals are obsessed with the arc of history and being on the right side of it, which again displays these people’s arrogance; no one knows the actual trajectory of history. And most issues that liberals tend to die on the hill for today are heavily influenced by social media, which has a shelf life of about three minutes. Being on friendly terms with Republicans means enabling a worldview that these folks probably consider evil. It’s a policy and lifestyle of political apartheid. For a view that used to espouse free speech, openness, and overall curiosity about other opinions, this authoritarian makeover post-2016, especially on First Amendment issues, was a bit jarring.

Latest Poll Shows an Increasing Number of Americans Are 'Suffering' Under Joe Biden



And yet, this man thinks he’s the best president to grace the Oval Office since George Washington. The economy is booming, and he finally got a spending bill passed that will do nothing to curb inflation. He also promised to curb COVID, wrestling down that pathogen like cattle—but failed. He eventually got infected, along with Jill, but he’s also bungling another localized health emergency with monkeypox. In the meantime, American families tread water amid an administration oozing with incompetence. As this old man spews nonsense about how he’s presiding over the most outstanding economy ever created, the number of Americans saying they’re suffering has reached record highs (via Axios):

5.6% of Americans said they are "suffering" in July, up from the previous high of 4.8% measured in April.
July's result is also higher than all previous estimates during the COVID-19 era, per Gallup.
The big picture: The percentage of U.S. adults classified as "thriving" has declined steadily since it reached a record high of 59.2% in June 2021.
July's estimate of 51.2% adults classified as "thriving" is an 18-month low, per Gallup.
The percentage of Republicans who are classified as suffering has doubled since June 2021, Gallup found, and among Democrats, it has jumped to 5.4%, almost double the 2.9% from a year ago.
In addition to general life ratings, the percentage of Americans who report experiencing stress is up to 48%, compared with 43% in July 2021.
Gallup began asking the life quality question in 2008, when, during the Great Recession, about 3.8% of Americans were categorized as suffering.
[…]
State of play: "Economic conditions are likely a major contributing factor to these worsening scores," Gallup notes.

If he keeps giving away money his numbers will improve. Next up college loans. That hold on paying loans ends 8/31.

Doubtful. For one thing, the persons most likely to benefit from this - the young - are notorious for NOT showing up at the polls no matter how often organizations try to whip up the youth vote. And it's much worse in mid-terms. There's likely an equally fired up group AGAINST the loan forgiveness program as there are for it.

The Dems are counting on two issues to save them in November and neither is likely to move the needle much. Historically, the opposite party almost always picks UP seats in the House and sometimes the Senate during mid-terms in a new President's first term. It's also true of any mid-term, but typically when a new President is seated. With the razor thin majority they have, they're fairly certain to lose it. FiveThirtyEight is WAY too generous - I'm thinking it's pretty much a lock, at this point. RealClearPolitics shows they more or less the GOP already has it - seats that are likely GOP and lean GOP give it to them, without even NEEDING any tossups.

The Senate is another matter - any given election year, only a third are up for grabs, and it's typical that most of those are in safe seats. There's only a few in the "tossup" category - or where there's a competitive race - and the Dems are holding their own if not have the edge. I think Oz is a loss in Pennsylvania, and that's a seat that was held by a Republican. There's just a few seats for Republicans that could be pickups, and that's Nevada and New Hampshire. The other remaining tossups, I can't say, because I don't trust polls taken about "Registered Voters" versus "Likely Voters" - the second one almost always more closely reflects the final results.

There's new ads out about the inflation reduction act saying homeowners can save up to $1800. per year. The little detail they leave out is you need to spend 10's of thousands to replace your heating, a new stove, dryer, etc. Which if people switch over to electric don't realize their electric bill will skyrocket.

Stigmatizing MAGA Republicans as threats to democracy backfiring on Biden, polls show



Last month, Biden delivered a speech in Philadelphia vilifying Trump and the Make America Great Again movement aligned with him. "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic," he declared.

Biden clarified that "not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans" before adding: "But there's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country."

Biden went on to say that MAGA Republicans don't respect the Constitution or the rule of law, echoing claims he's made several times during his presidency describing Trump and his supporters. In one case, he called them "semi-fascist."

A majority of Americans, however, disapproved of Biden's speech in Philadelphia as itself divisive, dangerous, and going too far, according to multiple polls.

One of the surveys found a striking 62% of independents said Biden's address was "a dangerous escalation in rhetoric and designed to incite conflict amongst Americans." A mere 31% of independents said it was acceptable rhetoric during an election year.

Meanwhile, in a new poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group for the Association of Mature American Citizens, a majority of respondents, 51%, said they "believe the Biden administration has crossed an important ethical line in pursuing political opponents."

Just 41% rejected the statement.

As they should. Why would anyone listen to someone declaring an end to hate out of one side of their mouth while totally embracing it out of the other side?

This is a man whose sole raison d'etre in this round of politics was that he was a uniter, a peacemaker, and not a divider.
His solution is, get all of THOSE people, and hurray, we'll all be united, then.

I thought you were talking about Hitler
Just this past week, I've seen a handful of threads where lefties are clamoring for peace and unity - and in the VERY NEXT SENTENCE openly declaring undying utter hatred for "MAGA" Republicans, Trump, religious fanatics and so on.

And the only conclusion I can reach is, they have zero concept of what "peace" and "unity" mean, and what they mean is what they ALWAYS mean - we have unity where YOU AGREE WITH ME.

Which is also called *tyranny*.
