Biden makes slow but steady progress on COVID relief: The Note
ABC News / Disney ^ | February 4, 2021 | By Rick Klein and Alisa Wiersema

It's easy enough to overlook in a Capitol consumed by impeachment preparations, Senate organizational wrangling and the future of one new Republican member of Congress in particular.

Those are important storylines. So is the slow but unmistakable progress President Joe Biden has been making in COVID-19 relief, with both partisan and bipartisan tracks still available to him.

For all the political messiness, it remains remarkable how often the Biden team has managed to keep to its messaging over the first two weeks of the administration. But it's worth remembering how much practice they developed in tuning out Trump-driven noise.

Biden's plans for the coronavirus response remain broadly popular. A Quinnipiac poll out Wednesday showed 68% support for the president's $1.9 trillion package, to go along with Biden's 61% approval rating on handling the pandemic.

Barf. Imagine how this article would read if Trump were president.

“Biden makes slow but steady progress on COVID relief...”

Biden makes slow but steady progress towards the restroom.

Yes, so remarkable how they can tune out Trump-driven noise except when they're using all those Trump-driven covid vaccines to achieve their unmistakable progress.

I understand a large part of the last stimulus was never used and sits in limbo.

1. is that true
2. and if so, why?
3. the economy is on its way back, do we really need a new one?

I’m old enough to remember when Trump was excoriated and vilified in the media for acting too slowly on a COVID response plan.

Chuckle.
Quinnipac had Susan Collins losing by a massive 12%.
Actual result? She won by 9%.
Quinnipiac is not in the polling business. They are in the disinformation, propaganda and dirty tricks for the Dem Party business.

Haha citing Quinipiac by far THE WORST pollster. Disney makes $5 per year from owning ABC News and Jimmy Kimmel and then loses hundreds of dollars that I don’t spend with them. #BoycottDisney

So no more counting falling off the ladder as covid death? Just like unemployment under Obama, all tweaked up.

His approval is likely 32%

Common core math got the negitive turned in to a positive

Over 20 million vaccine doses can’t be accounted for.

My Spidey sense is telling me that CreeperJoe the Digital Rapist is not doing well in the health area. They can barely get him dressed neatly and sit at his desk to sign EOs. My wild guess is that EVERYBODY sees this and a sick, sinking feeling is occurring, across the U.S. Jen the PR Dumbo, is falling apart. Commie-la can only cackle. So many are losing their jobs. People see the corruption and double standards. So....old CreeperJoe is going to fall over on live tv, and things are going to get REAL. After being so bummed out about them stealing the election from PDJT, I’m starting to feel kind of excited.

ABC poll has Biden at 68%. This is the same poll that had Trump losing Wisconsin by 17 points the week before the election where even with all the cheating, Biden “won” by less than 1%.
