FWIW Not bad. It’s too close for comfort but we have a long way to go. We just have to keep our heads down and plow ahead. I will never understand this: BIDEN Americans give President Biden a negative 38 – 54 percent job approval rating, compared to a negative 41 – 54 percent job approval rating in June. Registered voters give him a negative 40 – 53 percent job approval rating compared to a negative 42 – 54 percent job approval rating in June. Americans were asked about President Biden’s handling of… the response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: 43 percent approve, while 48 percent disapprove; foreign policy: 39 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove; the economy: 37 percent approve, while 58 percent disapprove. I guess a lot of people just hate the guy no matter what he does. But they’ll vote for him anyway? What? It’s kind of depressing because it shows that a whole lot of Democrats are completely clueless about what’s actually happening and are as deluded as the cultists. Hooray for tribalism, I guess…
