Opinion: The GOP's grave mistake

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As Ronna McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), falls back on talking points that suggest Americans are fed up with Democratic policies, I'm left wondering what alternate reality she's living in and what polls she's looking at. The Biden administration is currently polling favorably among most Americans — and higher than Donald Trump ever did in his four years in office (his highest Gallup approval rating never exceeded 49%).

According to a newly released Reuters/Ipsos poll, 53% of Americans said they approved of Biden's job performance six months into his presidency, compared to Trump's 38% approval rating at the same point in his presidency. In May, an AP/NORC poll found that for the first time in four years a majority of Americans (54%) said that the country was headed in the right direction, signaling a significant victory for the Biden administration.

While it might be easier for Republicans to ignore the achievements and broad approval of the Biden administration, this will ultimately hurt the GOP in the 2022 midterm elections and show just how out of touch it is with the American people. Painting a picture of America in crisis just doesn't reflect the state of the country right now. The Biden administration has made significant progress with Covid-19 vaccinations, and despite the threat of new variants the country has largely reopened. Republican leaders can continue to rail on about the state of the economy and the Democratic socialist agenda, but looking at the polling figures their discontentment doesn't accurately reflect the sentiment of most Americans.

Furthermore, we know the 2020 election results were bolstered by independent voters and right now 52% of them approve of Biden. They are also the most optimistic all the voting blocs — which spells trouble for Republican candidates, especially those in swing districts.

That's what listening to nothing but Fux Noise, News Max and ONAN gets you.

1. President Biden has high marks regarding COVID . ..

He and his administration are trying to keep America protected from the virus but alas, republicans do not.

2. One of the drawbacks of competent leadership and a successful administration

is that people don't pay a lot of attention when it works. Trump ran on not having any background as a "career politician" and not being a Washington "insider" and failed to make anything work. He created crises rather than resolved them. He was a crisis. The economy, which was supposed to be his expertise, was already roaring before he got there and his policy actually slowed it down.

The worst crisis we faced is being handled professionally and competently. Most people aren't paying attention which is a sign that things are going well.

Extremist right wing media outlets like Faux, NewsMucks and USA Radio are having a real hard time coming up with things to spin.
