A new study from Pew Research Center shows that about a year into his presidency, Joe Biden’s overall job approval rating among all Americans has sharply fallen.
Around two-thirds
of Black Protestants (65%), who are regarded among as key Democrat constituents approve of the job that Biden is doing, a drastic decline from 92% in March 2021.
Politicians often blame poor poll numbers on biased pollsters, so let’s
look at other surveys.
Navigator
Research, a Democratic-oriented group, discovered Biden's favorability Blacks
fell from 86 to 76 percent.
The
Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies poll found 65 percent
of Blacks rated the economy as just fair or poor, while 61 percent
said their personal economic situations were also just fair or poor. About
50 percent of Blacks surveyed said they think things in the U.S. have
gone seriously off track.
According to a poll by HIT Strategies just 48 percent of Blacks in November 2021 thought Biden was addressing their
needs, compared to 66 percent of respondents in June.
A recent NBC
News poll showed approval ratings of Biden among blacks slid from 81
percent to 64 percent.
A recently conducted Quinnipiac poll showed
that Biden’s approval among African-Americans has fallen to 57 percent, down
from 78 percent a year ago.
The verdict seems unanimous, Blacks are abandoning Biden.
What would explain this act of desertion?
The faltering economy, the inflation which is the worst in 40
years, the price of gas, and the supply chain crisis are the primary reasons.
The price of essential
food items such as meat, fish, poultry, and eggs is up by 12.2%,
while the price of bread and cereals is up by 6.8%. The price of gasoline
is as high all over the country and is $4.75 in California
A recent CBS
poll showed, most Blacks disapprove of Biden's handling of inflation and think
he isn’t focused on resolving the crisis.
Their concerns are valid because the Biden administration appears to be clueless.
Last December Biden had predicted that the 6.8% inflation through November was the “peak”
of this crisis and matters would improve, but now matters are much
worse, inflation is 7.5% the war in Ukraine is likely to make matters worse.
The faltering economy has hurt
Blacks in other ways, a recent study by the National Association of Realtors
showed that Blacks were lagging behind during the pandemic homeownership boom.
The Times reported that Black farmers across the U.S are yet
to see any of Biden’s
promised $4 billion in debt forgiveness as part of the pandemic stimulus
package.
February’s
jobs report showed that US black unemployment at 6.9%, is significantly
higher than the overall 4% rate. In late 2021, black unemployment in Washington,
DC stood at 15.4% vs, in Illinois, it was 13.3% while in California it was 12%.
The influx of illegal migrants must have played a role in causing the loss of jobs in addition to Covid-19 lockdowns which also caused the closure of
small businesses.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), blacks suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic and had a 2.5 times
higher chance of dying of the virus than whites,
Morning Consult study showed that Biden’s popularity among blacks
suffered following the federal Vaccine Mandate Rollout. The study showed that among
racial and ethnic demographics, blacks are the least
likely to have received COVID-19 vaccines, due to a lack of trust in governmental institutions. A tracking of
vaccine acceptance found that only 53 percent among black adults received
the vaccine, the lowest share reported of any race group.
A recent study
shows that black women are the majority of victims of gun violence owing to
the crime wave across the nation.
Voting rights legislation and the Build Back Better plan, two
issues that supposedly had Black support, have hit roadblocks in Congress.
In a bid to appease the Blacks, abhorrent practices
such as segregation have been
reinstated in some educational institutes. This will further aggravate the resentment and prejudice among young minds, undoubtedly Black parents will disapprove.
To sum it up Biden’s incompetence and inaction have hurt Blacks
on every front.
But sanctimonious Democrats living in the ivory towers of Washington will express astonishment at the low poll numbers, they brag about their 'stellar record'.
They will boast that Biden has a woman of color as his vice-president
and 5 individuals of color in his cabinet and that it is the most diverse cabinet in
U.S. history. They will add that Biden's Cabinet is nearly 55% nonwhite and 45%
female while President Trump’s cabinet was 82% white and 82%, male.
They will say that Biden even pledged
to nominate a woman of color to the Supreme Court, following
Justice Breyer’s retirement,
The Democrat leaders pride themselves on frequently referring
to White Supremacy, White Nationalism, and Neo Nazis. They support Black Lives
Matter, participated in marches, and even pardoned the looting and burning of
cities by BLM rioters.
They will finally blame Fox News and Russian disinformation for Black dissatisfaction, despite what they see as ground-breaking accomplishments.
The reason for this chasm between perception about Blacks and reality is
that they have dehumanized blacks into a homogenous group. The Democrats presume Blacks think alike and hence have identical aspirations. They also think all Blacks
see the world only through the prism of race hence will be pleased by 'diversity appointments'. It is a crude form of
stereotyping but their self-righteousness prevents them from realizing their
bigotry.
In fact, they are so sure about themselves that they almost
think they own the black vote and are irked if black people develop a mind of
their own and ask questions.
They occasionally make ample demonstration of that.
When Black radio host Charlamagne
tha God asked Biden about his plans to uplift the Black community, Biden rudely
snapped back with "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for
me or Trump, then you ain't Black."
Biden’s talking down to a man of color shouldn’t be too
surprising considering the Democrats are historically the party of slavery and segregation.
Biden’s approval rating should have been in single digits had
it not been for the relentless brainwashing and shaming of blacks to automatically
support the Democrats.
It is important to remember, that during the pre-pandemic years
of the Trump presidency, blacks experienced record-low rates of unemployment and poverty, while
wages for workers at the bottom of the income scale rose faster than they did
for management. But the polls numbers didn't always reflect that.
It is time for Republicans, to see this wave of discontent among
Blacks as an opportunity and present themselves as a valid alternative now just
now but for the long term.
What better time to begin than black history month!
