“The most recent liberal ABC News/Washington Post poll showed President Joe Biden’s approval rating at 36 percent — the lowest in history for a president at this point in his first term. Biden’s low popularity is no mystery. He inherited energy independence, affordable gas prices, historically low interest rates, low inflation, calm overseas, a low crime rate, and a largely closed border with legal-only immigration. And then Biden destroyed that inheritance. He has begged illiberal foreign governments to pump oil he refuses to drill domestically for. He spiked inflation at the highest rate in over 40 years. Home interest rates have skyrocketed from less than 3% to 7%. He nearly doubled the price of gasoline. His hare-brained retreat from Afghanistan marked the greatest humiliation of the American military in the last half-century.” (05/18/23)
