Biden’s poll numbers are bad, especially with a demographic he really needs​

By Andrea Widburg

Qunnipiac released a poll today and the numbers for Biden are disastrous. In his first year—his honeymoon year when the leftist media will do anything to promote him—his numbers keep going down, down, down. On every subject, Americans think he’s doing a lousy job. What should be even more frightening for Biden is the fact that Hispanics, who are as necessary a demographic for Democrats as Blacks are, think Biden is doing a terrible job.

The American people are not happy with Joe Biden. According to Quinnipiac’s data, only 33% of Americans approve of what he’s doing with 53% disapproving. Just two months ago, his job approval was at 36%. For the most part, Democrats are still willing to support him, with 75% approving. However, they’re peeling away from Joe quite quickly because, two months ago, 87% approved of him. At that rate, within two more months, he’ll be in the low 60% among Democrats.

Moreover, Americans are disappointed with Joe on every metric (34% approval on the economy, 35% on foreign policy, and 39% on his response to COVID). These are all areas that saw him making big promises during his limited campaign appearances, only to disappoint on a massive scale.

What’s also fascinating is contrasting the poll results with Joe’s inaugural speech, during which he insisted that, after the divisive Trump years (divisions that came from leftists who refused to accept his presidency), Biden himself would be the “unity” president. He’d bring Americans together. But even before Biden’s angry, demagogic rant on Tuesday, Americans understood that Biden was anything but unifying. Forty-nine percent say he is dividing the country, while only 42% see him as a uniter. Another promise broken—and Americans have noticed.

For those inclined to say that the Quinnipiac poll is an outlier because other polls give Biden slightly higher marks, that’s true but irrelevant. As Scott Adams used to say when I was listening to his podcasts a few years ago, what’s really important is the trend. If there’s a consistent trend in one direction or another, that’s the message you should take away, regardless of slight variations in numbers. And about that trend?

Quite possibly the scariest thing in the poll for Democrats is the fact the Hispanics have given up on Joe Biden:

Hispanic voters were least supportive of Biden’s job performance, with 28% saying they approve of how he is handling his duties, compared to 32% of white voters and 57% of black voters. Just 25% of independent voters said they approve of Biden’s performance, while 57% said they disapprove.

Click to expand...

If the Democrats cannot get a majority of Hispanic voters, they cannot win. Unfortunately for Democrats, their economic policies have been devastating for Hispanics. Additionally, many Hispanics are traditional enough to dislike having abortion and the LGBTQ+++ agenda forced upon them.

And here’s something to chew on: About 15 or so years ago, someone very familiar with politics (and I can’t for the life of me remember his name) said that there’s no question that all Democrat presidential candidates get a 10-15 point boost from the media. In other words, if Biden were not a Democrat and was being judged on his current record, his numbers would have his popularity at around 18-23%.

The big question, then, is how long the Pravda Press can prop up this appalling president before the entire Potemkin Village they’ve created collapses, revealing in its entirety the squalid wreck that is the Biden presidency. Certainly, the stream of Democrats announcing that they will not seek reelection suggests that Democrats are anticipating that the wall will fall soon and hard.

Of course this would state that the shot worshippers WERE the omicron scariant .....but I cut y'all some slack- bc anyone with any common sense knows the tests are the problems- can't tell the difference between influenza, the Coof or phi beta rulicron scariant.

But you sheep keep taking those 90 percent false positive tests so the global elite lefturds and big Harma can keep getting filthy rich and laughing at y'all. The wealth gap is on steroids bc y'all locked down and shot up for them. It stops when y'all quit lining up and taking fraudulent tests when you're freakin healthy -holy obedience batman.
Everyone has been brainwashed into thinking they are a bad pereonnif they don't comply with a government that hates them and is laughing their arses of at us.

Considering our 2022 season opener is against Central Michigan in BPS, I figured this was worth sharing. Hilarious stuff.

Hey @southernpoke I’ve been hearing rumors that Doug Meachum is trying to get the Athletic Director job at Broken Arrow. He also wants to be The football team’s OC and coach track in the spring. I heard they asked him if he wanted to be HC but he told them he would rather not deal with the pressure.
Pretty cool that Doug finally understands where he should be and belongs. Sometimes things just have a way of working out. I’m happy Doug. This is a great opportunity for him!

I'm just preparing myself....at least it's on espn+.

This is the stuff that scares me.


All the studies referenced are linked

Big loss for Campbell if true.

Biden approval rating at 33%. The concerning part for Democrats should be the independent numbers, they are horrible as they should be.

@ExileOnPerkinsSt.

Where ya been?

I know STW won but did anyone get to see it and care to share some thoughts?

@BiloxiPoke for @tlwwake?

6pm.

I would have gone with Webber (or, at least, I hope it is). If it's Shettron our receiving corps will be outstanding. Thought maybe Gordon or Brown might get a nod too.

They think McAlister is going to be Ohio State's biggest impact player next year? He was outstanding for us but would be surprised if he does that well for them.

College football's top instant-impact newcomers for 2022​

With the college football season over, coaches are now looking toward the 2022 season.
Transfers have become an integral part of the roster management process and a way too quickly fill needs and holes. Plenty of big names have transferred already, and with nearly 80% of the top 2022 recruits signing in December, we have a good picture of who might make an immediate impact next season.
Factoring in transfers, 2022 prospects and freshmen who didn't see the field this season, here are some of the immediate-impact newcomers for each top-25 team for the 2022 season.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide​

CB Eli Ricks
Sophomore
Transfer from LSU
Alabama has a few options who could go on this list with Georgia Tech running back Jahmyr Gibbs transferring in and the staff signing another top-three recruiting class headlined by five-star wide receiver Shazz Preston and ESPN 300 defensive tackle Jaheim Oatis. But Alabama is losing some contributors in the secondary, and as was on display in the national championship game, its youth and lack of experience at corner needed to be addressed. Ricks was a freshman All-American in 2020. He missed most of the 2021 season because of a shoulder injury but should be able to make an immediate impact at Alabama.

2. Ohio State Buckeyes​

S Tanner McCalister
Senior
Transfer from Oklahoma State
McCalister is following defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to Ohio State, so that familiarity will help McCalister see the field early. Ohio State could also use help in the secondary, and McCalister has been versatile in Knowles' defense at Oklahoma State. He had 39 total tackles, one interception and six pass breakups last season.

3. Georgia Bulldogs​

ATH Malaki Starks
2022 recruit
ESPN 300 ranking: 10
Starks is a five-star prospect who's ranked No. 10 overall in the 2022 class and signed with the Dawgs out of Jefferson, Georgia. He's 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, and his versatility could help him see the field early on. The Dawgs' biggest need will be along the defensive line, but the entire defense is losing quite a bit of production, and Starks might be able to help in the secondary right away if he can catch on early and play multiple positions.

4. Texas A&M Aggies​

DT Walter Nolen
2022 recruit
ESPN 300 ranking: 1
The staff got transfer quarterback Max Johnson coming from LSU, who will help with quarterback competition and depth if they run into an injury again. The coaches were also able to sign five-star receiver Evan Stewart, who will have a chance to make an impact right away. It's difficult to overlook the No. 1 prospect overall in the 2022 class, though. Nolen is a 6-4, 325-pound defensive tackle who was targeted by nearly every major program in his recruitment. DeMarvin Leal declared for the draft, so there will be a need for additional help on the interior of the line.

9. Oklahoma State Cowboys​

WR Talyn Shettron
2022 recruit
ESPN 300 ranking: 73
Oklahoma State is losing its leading receiver in Tay Martin, who had 10 of the Pokes' 25 receiving touchdowns this season. Shettron had been committed to Oklahoma, but Oklahoma State was able to flip him and sign him and his brother, tight end Tabry Shettron. Talyn is the No. 73 prospect overall in the class and one of the top receivers overall. The staff does have some young receivers on the roster, but with Martin leaving, there is an opportunity for Shettron to contribute right away.

Nothing?

This is a link from a right-wing website, so it can’t possibly be worth visiting. But it’s video of a Democrat state representative, so maybe it has a tiny bit of relevance. @davidallen, I thought of you and your daughter when I saw this, damned if i know why.

Tramel ScissorTales: Why proposed 12-team College Football Playoff isn't making progress​

Berry Tramel
Oklahoman

College Football Playoff expansion is at a standstill. The people who will decide the playoff’s fate — the 10 conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick — met Saturday through Monday in Indianapolis and came away with little progress.

Swarbrick and commissioners Bob Bowlsby (Big 12), Greg Sankey (Southeastern) and Craig Thompson (Mountain West) comprised a sub-committee that last summer produced a 12-team proposal. The current playoff consists of just four teams.

The 12-team format seemed to have much momentum but has been sidetracked mostly since OU and Texas accepted the SEC’s invitation to leave the Big 12.

The Big Ten and Pac-12 have expressed reservations, though the Pac-12 now seems to be on board.

The Big Ten’s primary sticking point seems to be automatic qualification for the five major conferences — Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, Atlantic Coast, Pac-12.

The sub-committee's proposal included automatic qualification for the six highest-ranked champions of Division I-A's 10 conferences. No special dispensation for the Power 5.

And that was a conscious decision.

“There are good reasons why we proposed six highest-ranked conference champions, and those reasons haven't changed,” Bowlsby said.

“We found out the extent to which we (Power 5 leagues) anoint ourselves with privileges, including automatic access, is usually the extent to which we get called in front of Congress or we get challenged legally.”

This is not mysterious. This is not subtle nuances. This is not even the Power 5 being magnanimous to the leagues of less stature.


This is the powerful trying to stay away from the more-powerful — Capitol Hill and the courthouse. This is anti-trust talk and this is politics.

The Power 5 conferences are hard-pressed to say everyone has a fair chance, if some leagues are given automatic entry into a playoff and some are not.

If Bowlsby, whose league was blindsided and crippled by the SEC over the summer, can stand alongside Sankey in support of the 12-team proposal, seems like the other conferences could, too.

“We went into the process trying to think about what was best for college football,” Bowlsby said. “I think the four of us did a pretty good job of that. None of us can truly leave our hat at the door.

“But I think the 12-team model is the one that is best for college football. With five or six weeks left in the season, there's going to be 40 teams with a legitimate claim to a playoff spot. That's good for regular-season attendance, that’s good for TV viewership.

“With three weeks to go, there's going to be 15 still in the hunt.”

Bowlsby actually is low on that number. With three weeks left, I’d estimate 25 still in contention for 12 berths. Maybe 15 going into the final week.

ESPN reported that former Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott was the first to suggest automatic inclusion for the Power 5 champions. But the Pac-12 released a statement Monday that said it would support any of the six main expansion proposals:

► The top 12 ranked teams, determined by the playoff committee;

► The top eight ranked teams, determined by the playoff committee;

► The original June proposal, with automatic qualifications for the six highest-ranked conference champions and six at-large bids;

► Automatic qualifications for the Power 5 champions and one automatic qualification for the highest-ranked champion among the other leagues, plus six at-large bids;

► Automatic qualifications for the six highest-ranked conference champions, plus two at-large bids;

► Automatic qualifications for the Power 5 champions and the highest-ranked league champion outside the Power 5, plus two at-large bids.

It seems like the Pac-12 just wants expansion. And you can’t blame the Pac. It hasn’t had a playoff participant since Washington in 2016.

But Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren has taken up the cause. He wants the Power 5 champions included automatically.

“I've made my point really clear on why I feel that way,” Warren told reporters in Indianapolis. “I just I just feel strongly with our conference, the difficulty of our schedule, the demands of our schedule, and going back to what was developed, even originally. I wasn't in the room, but I heard it was originally that the conference champions should be given a lot of credit, and so I'm just following that. That's important."

It’s also important to stay out of courtrooms and Congress.

I mean, sure, college football should be of no mind in Washington, D.C. But everyone gets bored, and most people want to be popular.

If you’re a U.S. senator in Idaho or Nevada, or a U.S. representative in Cincinnati or Salt Lake City, why not take a break from the humdrum of politics? Why not commission a hearing and ask Warren and Sankey and Bowlsby why Boise State or Brigham Young can’t get an equal shot?

Or heck, an enterprising lawyer could take up the cause and maybe get it all the way to the Supreme Court. That’s how NIL happened.

That’s what Bowlsby and Co. were trying to avoid.

Grocery Prices up, gas prices up, food shortages, rent up, car prices up, stores closing. Covid out of Control.
The reason, Bidens Policies.

But the Dims are worried about "Voting Rights" and "Jan 6th." No investigation as to who is to blame for 843,000 American Deaths so far from a Virus Unleashed on us by China.
