These are really bad numbers, especially for an era of rigidly lockstep partisan politics, mindless echo chambers, and constant media spin. The Biden numbers are obviously bad overall, but the weakness among Democrats is what really stands out. Fifty-six percent of Americans feel that Biden’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has not been tough…

This is the same old, “Your speech is violence, their violence is speech” standard in which questioning whether burning down cities is a good idea is worse than the BLM riots burning down cities.

Joe Biden campaigned from his basement. The question is does he still have one and how low is it? The latest poll numbers offer nothing but bad news for Team Biden. Joe Biden’s public approval rating fell to a new low of 40% this week, a clear warning sign for his Democratic Party as it…
