Americans say Biden is weak on crime and inflation

 Daily Mail:

A devastating new poll for President Joe Biden released on Sunday shows Americans disagreeing with his handling of nearly every issue currently plaguing the United States.

As inflation rises to the highest level in 40 years, just 28 percent of Americans believe he's handing it right while 69 percent disapprove.

Biden is losing Americans' faith on the foreign policy front as well. After his two-hour video call with Vladimir Putin on his aggressive actions toward Ukraine last week, only 38 percent of Americans have faith he can negotiate with the Russian leader.

Sixty-two percent of poll respondents said they have 'just some' confidence or 'none at all' that Biden can face the strongman president.

Meanwhile Biden's job approval ratings on crime, the economy, gun violence and taxes have all hit new lows, according to the latest ABC News/Ipsos survey.

With a historic increase in the US murder rate and a wave of smash-and-grab robberies targeting multiple American cities, just 36 percent of people - or about one in every three - think Biden is being tough on crime. That's a 10-point drop from his all-time high in late August.

More than 60 percent disapprove of how he's dealing with it.

Gun violence is also on the rise as America eases out of the pandemic. In October the CDC reported a 15 percent increase in shooting deaths in 2020 from the year before.

Those numbers don't bode well for Biden, whose job approval on gun violence dropped 12 percent from his highest point of 44 percent in August.

In the poll taken December 10 to 12, two-thirds of Americans said they disapprove of the way the president handles gun crime.
...

... a meager 41 percent of respondents approve of how Biden is handling the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, down from 60 percent in March. His disapproval rating on the economy has hit a new high of 57 percent.
...

There is more.

It is typical of Biden to think this is happening because the media is reporting on his failings instead of focusing on reality.   The fact is that he has done a lousy job on multiple issues and people are noticing it.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
