NEWS AND OPINION:
A significant pollster has lower than promising information for President Biden, and of curiosity to voters. It is easy sufficient. Here’s what Gallup has to say:
“As Joe Biden begins his reelection campaign, his job approval rating among the U.S. public has slipped to 37%, the lowest Gallup has measured for him to date. Biden’s job approval has been in the low 40% range for most of the past 19 months, apart from the current reading and a 38% score last July,” Gallup senior editor Jeffrey M. Jones famous in a meticulous evaluation.
“Biden’s latest approval rating is from an April 3-25 Gallup poll, which was completed the day he announced he will seek reelection, and marks a three percentage point dip from March and a five percentage point drop from February,” Mr. Jones wrote.
The ballot sampled the opinions of 1,013 U.S. adults.
“This decline has pulled down Biden’s job approval average for his recently completed ninth quarter in office, which spanned Jan. 20 through April 19, to 39.7%, the lowest quarterly average in his presidency,” he stated.
“Biden’s decision to seek a second term comes at the weakest point in his presidency, according to his Gallup job approval ratings. His support has mainly been stuck in the low 40% range since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Now it has fallen below the 40% mark for just the second time in his presidency, as Americans’ confidence in the economy slips further,” Mr. Jones later noticed.
PROGRESSIVES TARGET ‘MAGA’
Is it maybe a harbinger of the presidential race to return?
MoveOn — the progressive and aggressive activist group — has solid forward and endorsed President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of their quest for reelection.
“In the organization’s 25-year history, it is the earliest MoveOn members have ever endorsed in a presidential contest,” the group stated in a written assertion launched Sunday and shared with Inside the Beltway.
It clearly specifies a major motivation for his or her early endorsement — former President Trump’s conventional motto “Make America Great Again,” lengthy since shortened to the acronym “MAGA.” That is their symbolic foe.
“President Biden and Vice President Harris have done what millions of MoveOn members sent them to Washington to do: protect our rights and freedoms and blunt right-wing extremism. This moment requires urgency to solidify behind President Biden and show unified resolve to defeat MAGA and build on the progress of the last two years. Each day we wait to define the MAGA right-wing extremists who are running for the Republican nomination is a day wasted,” stated Rahna Epting, MoveOn govt director, additionally in a written assertion.
She referred to as the Biden agenda “among the most progressive in a generation” and suggests her group is gearing up for severe campaigning.
“Our members are fired up and ready for this election and eager to defeat MAGA extremism once again. We’ll be launching one of the biggest electoral programs in our history to secure another Democratic trifecta and defeat MAGA’s very real threats to our freedoms, rights, and futures so that we can continue down the road of progress for all of us,” Ms. Epting stated.
THE YARD WARS
Can politics affect the nation’s garden mowing habits? Why, sure. It can.
“As spring gardening season begins, homeowners are wrestling with personal decisions about how to tackle lawn care: To mow or not to mow? Irrigate? Fertilize? The ‘No Mow’ and ‘Low Mow’ campaigns aim to make yards more conducive to bees and butterflies — but you might face blowback from your neighbors if you try it out,” Axios stories.
“Homeowner associations have been clamping down on residents who let their lawns go brown or wild, even taking people to court over the state of their yards. At the same time, Democratic lawmakers are taking the lead in passing regulations that prod people toward ‘green’ lawn care,” the report continued.
“California’s landmark law banning the sale of new gas-powered mowers and leaf blowers takes effect next year. Other states and cities are following suit. Towns that adopt ‘No Mow May’ agree not to issue citations to homeowners who let their grass grow long,” it stated.
But that’s not all.
“The grass itself isn’t the only battleground. ‘Yard sign wars’ have flared up across the country over people using their turf for flamboyant political displays — which often linger far past the election they target,” the report famous.
TURNING POINT GEARS UP
Turning Point USA — a conservative, grassroots activist community — is underscoring the necessity for an invigorated religion within the U.S. in no unsure phrases. And the group is prepared to journey to get their level throughout.
“Our nation needs revival. These are dark and trying times for America, and now more than ever, we need to turn to our great God for peace, for hope, for victory,” the group stated in a mission assertion shared with Inside the Beltway.
That specific mission is carried out by the group’s very lively religion outreach — referred to as TPUSA Faith — which organizes group occasions, voter registration drives and academic applications for the Christian group with an emphasis on “the connection between faith and freedom.”
They are able to roll.
“TPUSA Faith has launched our Kingdom to the Capitol Tour — a series of live worship events in all 50 state capitals over the next several months designed to ignite the flame of revival in bible-believing Americans across the country,” the assertion stated.
Events have already been scheduled in Oklahoma City; Austin, Texas; Topeka, Kansas; Madison, Wisconsin; Springfield, Illinois; and Indianapolis.
