We’re halfway into yet another week of the Biden administration and the Democratic Party pushing what they call a “voting rights” bill. Even though there’s almost no evidence that voting rights is the top issue of concern to voters, they continue doing so.
Joe Biden’s approval rating has plummeted since the Afghanistan withdrawal and there has so far been seemingly no floor it hasn’t crashed through. Although his average approval polling is around 42 percent overall, some individual polls have shown that Biden’s numbers are as low at 35. Folks from CNN to the Washington Post have tried to blame all the factors leading to Biden’s low disapproval on everything but Biden, but that’s not flying with voters.
When you dig into the approval numbers, it’s not just that his approval is sinking. There is increasing disapproval and the gap in approval/disapproval is getting wider. The two most recent polls – Rasmussen and Gallup – have disapproval up over 15 points each. These polls are from last week and this week. During this time, Biden also increased his rhetoric regarding the filibuster or the voting rights bills.
All media outlets have covered these speeches and statements. Millions of Americans who are being impacted by a shrinking jobs market, supply chain issues, grocery shortages, gas price hikes, inflation, and every other economic problem an economy can face are being preached at by these Democrats on an issue they aren’t worried about, and the rhetoric from the administration and Democratic party is insulting.
If you don’t support it, you are a racist. Bull Connor. You are a terrible person.
It’s hard to imagine anyone not wanting to listen.
Biden is so poor at politics, it’s almost unbelievable that they have it. Biden’s administration is toxic in its rhetoric and priorities. The progressive left has been pushing for the party to extinction due to their inability understand rational people who have any other priorities than extreme environmentalism and federal control over elections.
The elections bill they call “voting rights” is such a bizarre hill to fight on because he knew going in that he didn’t have the votes for it or for filibuster carveouts. The opinions of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema haven’t changed. Why continue with such a high-profile focus of a dead issue when there are things you can fight on that will at least make it look like you’re in touch with the voters who put you into office.
And let’s not pretend that this “voting rights” bill is somehow the top priority for Americans. Sure, there is polling that shows it is popular (the Democrats love throwing these out) but there is virtually no data showing it’s the most important issue among the economic and pandemic issues out there now. The omicron variant is on the rise, which has many people concerned. There is a flailing economy that has people furiously checking their account balances and worrying about the groceries for this week – assuming they can find them.
The Democrats in Washington, however are less concerned about the voting issue than they are with the actual problem facing their voters. Maybe that’s why Republican identification surging over Democrat identification in a recent Gallup poll. People don’t want to identify with a party that is not focused on the most pressing needs of the nation. The people want to associate with a party that at least talks about the important issues. Republicans keep harping on this issue over and over. Democrats won’t even touch them.
So, as we enter our third week of this insane push on an issue barely on Americans’ radar, you just have to ask: What in the hell is the Biden team doing?
