GOP passes Dems in favorability

 The Hill:

Republicans’ favorability rating clocked in 5 percentage points higher than Democrats’, according to a new Gallup poll, bucking a historical trend in which Democrats typically have the edge.

Republicans also hold a 20-point advantage when pollsters asked respondents who would do a better job protecting the U.S. from terrorism and military threats.

Fifty-seven percent said they prefer the Republican Party on those issues, compared to 37 percent who indicated the Democratic Party.

A majority of respondents — 51 percent — suggested Republicans are better able to keep the country prosperous, tying the highest on record for the party and representing a 10-point lead over Democrats.

It is not just Biden that is the problem.  The Democrats in Congress have pushed an unpopular agenda of big spending programs that have accelerated inflation.

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. ...
