President Joe Biden's poll numbers are tanking, especially among independent voters. The American people do not like weak leaders, and they do not like the craziness that's infiltrating their daily lives.
Biden campaigned as someone who could bring the country together. Since taking office, he's made no effort to do that. Instead, he has continually conceded to his party's far-left wing, which is growing crazier by the day. It's not clear if Biden is just too weak to take them on or if he is buying into their craziness, but either way, people are not happy. The Democrats are somehow making the Republicans seem appealing again to your average non-politically aligned voter. Given the current disarray in the Republican Party, this was a tall task. It's almost as if the two parties are competing to see who can turn off the middle more. This week, the Democrats are in the lead. Their policies are so crazy not even their allies in the dominant corporate media can succeed in selling them.
First, the numbers: Quinnipiac University is a major polling outlet not known for a bias. In their latest poll, Biden's overall job approval has plummeted down to 38% from highs in the mid-50s earlier in his presidency. Things look even worse for Biden when you look at the complete collapse of his support from political independents, who now disapprove of him by a 60%-to-32% margin.
It gets worse yet again when you look at key issues independent voters really care about. On the economy, Biden's underwater by 28 points. On taxes, by 30. On immigration overall, Biden is down 48 points among independents with only 22% approving, versus 70% disapproving. On Mexican border matters, it's even worse, with a net negative of 55%. Sixty-three percent of independents don't think Biden is a good leader, versus only 34% who do. Finally, only 35% of independents think the Biden administration has been competent running the government, versus a whopping 62% who think they are incompetent.
It's not a pretty picture.
How did Biden squander all his popularity? It's not hard to see when you analyze each issue.
On immigration and border security, the hard left is in favor of open borders. Biden claims to disagree with this view, but the policy changes he's put in place since coming to office have obliterated any semblance of security America had on the southern border. Millions of migrants are crossing illegally. The U.S. government doesn't even know the real number, and it also does not know how many terrorists or criminals are crossing or how much deadly fentanyl is making it across with so little resistance. People don't want this.
On economic issues, the socialist wing in the Democratic Party is firmly in charge of the agenda in Washington. The new policies they are trying to ram through Congress will add trillions of dollars in new spending and taxes. Somehow, Biden seems to have been convinced that ramming through this level of increased government involvement in our economy will make him a historic leader. Nobody voted for this. Certainly, the many independents who voted for Biden to help heal a broken country did not sign up for it. The hard left is harassing
The situation in American schools is out of control. Radicals are instituting programs and curricula that are most accurately described as racist in school districts across the country. A school in Buffalo, New York, for example, prescribed a curriculum including Marxist teachings on "disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure." A private school in New York City even encouraged its students to stop using the terms "mom" and "dad."
And racial segregation is back. Its advocates this time are so-called anti-racists, as opposed to the traditional brand of racist who used to advocate for such policies. The results are the same. A school in Madison, Wisconsin, for example, segregated students and parents by race into so-called affinity groups for class discussions. And in Wellesley, Massachusetts, the public school hosted an event pushing a so-called healing space available only to minority students. The school did not try to hide its overt racism: "Note: This is a safe space for our Asian/Asian-American and Students of Color, not for students who identify only as White."
Parents are understandably up in arms over these attempts by radical educators to brainwash their children with Marxist thought or even overt racism. They have taken to school boards in record numbers to push back. The Biden administration's response? This week, the attorney general sent a memorandum to the FBI and federal prosecutors asking them to work with local law enforcement to crack down on parents protesting school board actions. Nobody is in favor of parents threatening or committing violence against teachers, but the memorandum was worded so broadly as to be reasonably viewed as itself an attempt to intimidate parents away from questioning the radical ideologies being imposed on students across America.
Biden has earned his unpopularity through some combination of weakness and incompetence. The left-wing of the Democratic Party has gone firmly out of the American mainstream in several policy areas. Instead of standing up to this fringe, Biden and the party have been catering to the socialists. It's not clear if they do this because they agree with the insanity or they are too weak to oppose it, but either way, the good news is the American people are not buying it.
The chanting at the ball games is hilarious
A faux president too weak to take on a set of stairs
Oh, come on! Really? Author Neil Patel isn't a kook, so how did he write that?
The only explanation is that Brandon is a first-class flim-flam artist. He's always been a thin-skinned, ugly, quick-to-anger, mean curmudgeon. Why anybody would consider such a cretin as "popular" is beyond me. Somehow he successfully cultivated the "aw shucks" image.

***News that warms my heart this morning. Thanks for posting the article.
“It’s not clear if Biden is just too weak to take them on or if he is buying into their craziness..”
Really! He agrees with their craziness, doesn’t have to buy into it. That is Joe Biden. FJB
Let’s Go Brandon
This is who he is.
This is who he has always been.
This is what he will always be.
This ‘moderate’ crap is just that: crap.........................
Take ‘em on??? He’s their LEADER! And not a smidgen of smarts in the whole bunch!
How did Biden squander all his popularity? It’s not hard to see when you realize he had NO popularity to begin with.
His campaign was a farce perpetrated on the American
people by the left and the media, supported by massive
rigging of the voting process.
He’s not too weak to take on his radical base. He’s all too willing. Plus he’s being told by the commie brigade to implement their Marxist agenda. These low lifes have got to go. One way or the other. Preferably the other.
Side note to Mr. Biden: Don’t worry about this. As long as you obey your handlers, the vote counters will remain on your side. And that’s all that matters.
No bias...? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
“Biden has earned his unpopularity through some combination of weakness and incompetence.”
No. Biden earned his unpopularity being used by Marxist parasites eating him from the inside out.
Biden has nothing to do with this “Presidency”.
I’m waiting for the first reporter to call that hospital Biden claimed he called yesterday to help his friends wife get seen quicker. I bet a case of Tastycakes it did not happen.
Unfortunately the blame isn't all Biden's. They can get away with anything because with a few exceptions the Republicans are letting them. When we've reached the point where corrupt officials in the federal government can declare parents trying to regain control of their children's school boards to be domestic terrorists and attempt to turn FBI harassment on them, there are no real limits of reality left.
Bill Clinton went up nicely in the polls when he told Sister Soujah to buzz off.
Biden is a weakling. Everyone from the Taliban on down tells him what to do and he does it.
Once again I gotta wonder why folks - esp journalists - don’t mention the voter fraud anymore. They’re like “How did this guy get elected? Everybody hates him!” BECAUSE OF CHEATING AND FRAUD. Instead of “analyzing” #ChoMoeJoe (what’s there to analyze? he’s a puppet for Russia and China! his mission was from the very start to screw things up and place us into severe jeopardy), journalists should be hammering away at the fraud, but clearly they are afraid to lose their jobs. I used to have sympathy for some media people, i.e., “They have to see these creepy lefttards every day at work, they can’t go to war with them.” But that’s over. So many of us have had to lose jobs, property, families, etc., in this enforced insanity.
If anyone reads my comments on sites like “townhall” and “the hill” and so on, you can observe me venting at various characters who, instead of sticking to the really important issues, sit thinking of ways to make fun of #ChoMoeJoe. If you have to keep your job as a writer or talking head or whatever by giving the Left a pass, you shouldn’t be in that job. It’s not funny anymore - and really, was this guy ever funny? He MOLESTS KIDS and inappropriately touches others in front of cameras. He just got a bunch of our troops killed in Afghanistan. He seems not to know where, or even who, he is a lot of the time. There’s nothing funny about it.
