New Poll Shows A Majority of Voters Blame Biden and Congress for Supply Chain Issues

The majority of registered voters blame resident Biden and Congress for the current global supply chain and shipping issues impacting the United States, a new poll shows.

The poll, which was released on Wednesday, was conducted by Morning Consult and Politico. It found that 62 percent of registered voters believe Biden bears some responsibility for the supply chain issues. Nearly as many registered voters, 61 percent, believe Congress also bears some responsibility.

Still, the poll found that more registered voters believe large corporations and China bear some responsibility for the supply chain issues, at 63 percent and 64 percent, respectively.

Overwhelmingly, 74 percent of voters said the top driver of the supply chain problems are worker shortages and 79 percent blame the COVID-19 pandemic.

This month, Biden issued remarks from the Port of Baltimore to tout his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. During his remarks, he touched on inflation and the supply chain, saying that people “remain unsettled about the economy” because “everything from a gallon of gas to a loaf of bread costs more.” He suggested that the infrastructure bill could be “progress” to get the economy back on track.

In his remarks, Biden said his administration “has a plan to finish the job of getting us back to normal from the pandemic and having a stronger economy than we ever had before.”

“The challenge we need to meet here, and that my plan is going to help address, has to do with the supply chain,” he continued. “And as long as goods and materials are getting where they need to go on time, there’s usually no need to worry about the supply chains. But when global disruptions hit, like a pandemic, they can hit supply chains particularly hard. COVID-19 has stretched global supply chains like never before.”

To continue, Biden stated that the bill is a “major step forward” for fixing supply chain bottlenecks.

“This Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill is a major step forward. It represents the biggest investment in ports in American history. And for American families, it means products moving faster and less expensively from factory floor, through the supply chain, to your home,” Biden said. “The bottom line is this: With the bill we passed last week and the steps we’re taking to reduce bottlenecks at home and abroad, we’re set to make significant progress.”

Additionally, the poll found that 52 percent of voters say a candidate’s position on supply chain and delivery issues will be a “major” factor when they vote in the midterm elections next November.

This week, a separate poll found that Americans’ worries about the economy have risen to a record high since the pandemic began, as I covered. This poll found that inflation, unemployment, and the economy in general as the top issues impacting the United States.

Another poll released this week, conducted by Yahoo News and YouGov, found that a majority of registered voters, 57 percent, blame Biden for inflation. Seventy-seven percent of respondents in the poll said that inflation is affecting their lives as the holiday season begins. A mere 18 percent of respondents said Biden is doing enough to address it.

As Yahoo News puts it, “These results explain in part why the president’s overall approval rating has steadily declined to 43 percent in recent months while his disapproval rating has risen to 52 percent — and why, on the economy, Biden’s approval rating is even lower (40 percent).”

Underwater Biden says his $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” is “progress” to get the economy back on track.

Sure thing....every family knows if you’re in debt and your finances are screwed up....go out and spend even more money you don’t have.

Biding is a fetid pile of BS.

Still?
Everyone mentioned has responsibility...ain’t no “still” about it.

This is all on them. everyone of them. Only China has an end game of trying to weaken and destroy us...one tangent is through our economy. But ships piling up off-shore is all us...

“more registered voters believe large corporations and China bear some responsibility for the supply chain issues”

Then those registered voters are ignorant. Biden, Congress, China, and corporations are one conglomerate. It’s not an either-or situation; they’re one and the same.

Liars count and counters lie. Democrat poll numbers are always slanted their way. If this is the best that they can give brandon then it is bad and it is surprising that the communist news even allows dissemination.
The (100 % biding time is over and done folks) were out supporting themselves and their families when they so called poll of registered Voters was called.
I give him a minus 10 for overall.

Blaming Xiden and Congress is appropriate but one needs to add California to the list. They have very restrictive laws regarding the trucks that can work intra-state. This reduces the number of trucks available to haul cargo containers. They also have laws restricting the activities of small one truck operators.
