Biden sets new record for low approval

 The Lid:

Joe Biden now has the lowest approval ratings of any president in modern history. Yet the media is practically ignoring the story.

The newest Quinnipiac University poll — which is not a right-wing polling firm — found that a mere 33% of Americans approve of the way President Biden is handling his job\

The poll of 1,412 adults released on Wednesday also shows that a whopping 54% disapprove of Biden, with only 13% saying they have no opinion.

Per Just the News:

The 33% approval rating ties the low Biden received in a January 12 Quinnipiac poll in which his disapproval rating was 53%.

Along party lines, 76% of Democrats surveyed approved of Biden’s job performance, while 94% of Republicans disapproved.

Among Independents, 56% approved and 26% disapproved – in a midterm election year in which their votes for Democrats or Republicans running in congressional, state and local elections will be critical.

Among registered voters surveyed by Quinnipiac, 35% approved of Biden’s job performance, while 55% disapproved and 10% offered no opinion.

Those numbers make me wonder if the 35% of registered voters who approved of Biden had some sort of head injury that dulled their mental capabilities.

As USA Today reported in September of last year, Trump’s lowest rating was his brief 2017 rating of 34 percent. Trump spent most of his presidency above 45 percent.

...

Trump's low approval rating was at a time when he was being falsely accused of Russian collusion.  That was a Hillary Clinton con job that the media fell for and exploited to drive his numbers down.  Biden earned his low rating with serial screw-ups.  It would not surprise me to see Biden in the 20's if he sticks around.

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
