Americans remain deeply pessimistic about the state of the country and the economy. A view that is reflected in President Joe Biden’s approval rating, which continues to hover around 39%. About 9 in 10 Republicans disapprove, along with nearly three in 10 Democrats.

The national dissatisfaction is bipartisan. Most Americans, 85%, say the country is headed in the wrong direction. A majority of Republicans have been unhappy with the direction of the country since Biden’s election. Democrats had been positive about how things were going, but now 78% say the country is headed in the wrong direction.

Who doesn’t want to pay $5+/gal for gas.
And pay 20-50% more for food
Oh,and pay nearly half your paycheck for rent or morgage.
Or, twice as much for healthcare.

****************

A majority of Republicans are probably unhappy with the direction of the GOP as well. After all, the party gives its base very little incentive to vote for it.

Many simply view the party's office holders as Assistant Democrats or members of the Uniparty who are effectively enablers of the destruction.

Replacing one party with another accomplishes little when the succeeding party has no agenda, principles or determination that can lead to the betterment of the country.

Its time for the GOP to step up and lead for once. If they don't, they should step aside and let a new party do it.

This November, you will have two choices in the voting booth. Choose (D) for Destruction or (R) for Recovery.

Don’t forget that while Trump was president (R) stood for Resistance.

What is the Republican’s agenda for recovery? If anyone knows please inform us.

I think their only agenda is moving back into larger offices.
