ABC Spikes Own Poll Showing Disapproval of Biden’s Handling of Crime

ABC News Sunday A new poll has been released showing what they describe as “[President] Biden’s approval” hitting “new lows” “on many issues.” But in the two days it’s been out, they’ve only mentioned it once on-air and completely omitted the large majority of Americans who disapprove of his handling of the spike in crime across the country. They also refused to show many Americans didn’t trust him with Russia. The poll was not covered by CBS or NBC newscasts.

ABC did cover some of the results during Monday’s Good Morning AmericaAfter ignoring them for so many Sundays, he finally said something. “Also a new ABC News/Ipsos poll suggests more than two-thirds of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s handling of inflation,” noted chief anchor George Stephanopoulos with loud music playing over him. “A solid majority, 57 percent, disapprove of the economy in general.”

This mention lasted nine seconds.

Instead of covering any of their poll on Monday’s World News TonightAnchor David Muir, chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl and Jonathan Karl spent nearly two minutes (at 1:52) reporting on the House January 6, Committee motion to discredit former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

NBC Nightly News also spent nearly two minutes (1:55) on the committee’s actions as well. The three men also praised New York’s reintroduction of in-door mask mandates.

And on the foreign policy front, the poll found a vast majority of Americans didn’t trust Biden to negotiate with Putin. “This poll finds that most Americans (55%) disapprove of how Biden is handling relations with Russia. Further, only 38% of Americans trust Biden to negotiate on America’s behalf with Putin,” They also wrote online. This was also removed from the air.

 

 

Meanwhile, Fox News Channel’s Special Report did nearly an entire segment based on the poll finding a majority of Americans disapproving of Biden’s handling of crime. “Just 36 percent of Americans approve of President Biden’s handling of crime in the new ABC/IPSOS poll,” reported White House correspondent Peter Doocy.

Since the disapproval rate was 61 percent, that would surely fall under what Stephanopoulos described as a “solid majority.”

Doocy also highlighted a soundbite of him grilling Press Secretary Jen Psaki on the White House’s poor strategy to fight crime while embracing disastrous, progressive bail reform:

DOOCY: What good does it do if you are going to give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys, and they bring them to jail, and then they are not prosecuted; they’re just right back out on the streets?

PSAKI, Peter: Our focus should be on ensuring that local leaders and police officers know exactly what is needed for their communities and have access to the funds and assistance they require. We are working round the clock to achieve this goal.

“There are plenty of things that officials around here would rather talk about than crime: Covid vaccines, the Build Back Better plan, electric vehicle charging stations, you name it. But as officials in big cities struggle to keep innocent people safe, as crime rates rise, it’s unavoidable,” he concluded.

ABC’s omission of their own poll showing bad approval numbers for Biden was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Wayfair Fisher Investments. You can find their contact information linked to let you know about biased news that they are funding.

BRET BAIER: The President of the United States, Joe Biden is facing serious problems tonight that are threatening his low approval ratings. This holiday season, crime is at the top. A rash of high profile high-end robberies has scared some shoppers from this most important economic time of the year.

He is currently facing a difficult political fight over the President’s massive tax- and spend agenda. The social spending bill, however, remains in Congress. The White House correspondent Peter Doocy reports on the latest developments tonight.

PETER DOOCY – Officials also claim that they have a handle on rising crime rates.

JEN PSAKI, PRSECRETARY OF THE PRESS: Our team has also been in contact with the police department where the most crime is occurring. We are very concerned about the retail threat.

DOOCY: It keeps happening in Chicago like it did this weekend.

JOE PERILLO: They have people come break in to your store while there’s customers shopping and there are children in there.

DOOCY. Joe Perillo was the target of a luxury car dealership. And he’s blaming weak leadership the mayor and the Cooks County state’s attorney.

PERILLIO : Mayor Lightfoot She isn’t my friend and neither am I her. They’re probably are good people. They’re probably trying to do good for their community, but they’re good bad for their community.

DOOCY: Just 36 percent of Americans approve of President Biden’s handling of crime in the new ABC/IPSOS poll.

JIMMY Fallon: How attentive do you give approval ratings?

JOE BIDDEN, PRESIDENT: No.

DOOCY: For now, they’re not willing to ask prosecutors to get stricter with sentencing.

What good does it do if you are going to give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys, and they bring them to jail, and then they are not prosecuted; they’re just right back out on the streets?

PSAKI, Peter: Our focus should be on ensuring that local leaders and police officers know exactly what is needed for their communities and have access to the funds and assistance they require. We are working round the clock to achieve this goal.

[Cuts back to live]

DOOCY. Officials around the world would much rather discuss crime than covid vaccines or the Build back Better plan. It’s inevitable, however, because of the difficulty that officials face in keeping innocent citizens safe and rising crime rates. Bret?

BAIER: Peter Doocy lives on the north lawn. Peter, we are grateful.
