Biden's free fall

Biden's approval ratings are in a free fall, with good reason. Pluralities disapprove of the president's performance, based on the RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight polling averages. His approval rating is in the mid-40s, a drop of about 10 percentage points from just five weeks ago. Here are a few reasons, in no particular order:

(1) The Afghanistan fiasco and the terrorist attack at the Kabul airport killing 13 American soldiers and at least 90 Afghans;

(2) Failure to end the COVID crisis despite the gift of safe and effective vaccines former President Trump provided him through Operation Warp Speed;

(3) The crisis on the southern border, which Biden brought upon due to his reversal of Trump administration policies;

(4) High levels of crime in major cities across the U.S. while at the same time his progressive allies promote far-left ideas like defunding the police and Critical Race Theory;

(5) A disappointing August jobs report due to the administration encouraging welfare over work -- only 235,000 jobs were added to the economy in August, far off the estimates of 728,000 or more.; and

(6) Inflation and record debt due to out-of-control spending, which is getting pushback from even some in his own party. For example, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin stated in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal recently that not only will he not support a spending bill approaching $3.5 trillion, but that any further spending should be put on pause because of inflation risks and so we have ammunition to deal with future crises. (Make no mistake, if Manchin follows through this puts much of Biden's progressive agenda in jeopardy.);

So what does Biden do when he's under pressure? He lashes out and lies, just like he's done his entire career.

All right! Congrats to the crowd!

I hope you’re right, but I think you are overestimating the intelligence of the average American. People in this country are incredibly stupid and ignorant and easily misled by what they see on TV, social media, and whatever ideas the “cool kids” are pushing.

” only 235,000 jobs were added to the economy in August, far off the estimates of 728,000 or more.”

Next month will be about the same.

Biden has proved he’s a clueless coward his entire career is full of evidence.
