    Which was by design so he could do **exactly** what he did. Release another stupid memo "From the 45th President" that your current POTUS is a POS and you need to keep sending me money and re-elect me so I can fix (the chaos I created just for this reason).

    Everybody sees through his mind games. Anybody that doesn't, doesn't want to. He's anything but stealth.

    Technically, they may be tied since there is a plus/minus of 3 points, and they are only 1 point apart. Don't get mad at me - that's how polls work.

    Depends how you source your numbers. Fivethirtyeight presents an average of all major polls. It shows Biden 2 points ahead at the same stage..

    Until the blown surrender/withdrawal we hadn't lost any troops in 3 years. And we still had the Taliban contained, and basically locked in a box, with no reason to think that was going to change.

    You know that owning the libs is the top priority of the right, not working to help their country.

    Thankfully for our country, trump is his own worst enemy.
    His malignant narcissism consumes his life.
    If he had shown the least amount of intelligence and character after losing the election, he would have been a shoo-in for the repubs in 2024, with a fair chance of winning.
    Instead he embarked on a two-month long seditious attempt to overturn the election, culminating in the maga insurrection on Jan 6, threatened countless election officials, mounted dozens of ridiculous lawsuits and became a toxic albatross for repubs.
    And he still won't shut up. He can't help himself. God works in mysterious ways.

    That’s because the polls OVERSAMPLE DEMOCRATS. Do you understand what that means? Because you’re speaking as if you don’t.

    Real Clear Politics at post #42 gives us the true picture. Funny how left leaners used those numbers for Trump for 4 years and now they are focused on some left leaning poll to claim something that isn't true.

    It would seem I was misinformed. But not by much. It had been 0 for the preceding year and a half, and only 7 for the 6 month period before that. You can't hardly run a training exercise of any significant size without that kind of casualty rate.

    Regardless, my overall point remains... We had the Taliban completely contained, and wrapped in a box from which they couldn't get out of, with a force of only 2,500 troops and a near zero fatality rate. I would personally rather have completely destroyed them making even that unnecessary, but that would have, at least for a short amount of time, resulted in a higher fatality rate, at least for the Taliban.

    Either way, Senor Biden ordered the US military to surrender to a bunch of cowardly thugs that we had essentially neutered to the point of irrelevancy, at least until after the surrender. I expect they've killed thousands, if not more, since we ran away with Biden's tail between his legs.

    Compromise on what? Free daycare? Free community college? Keeping an unnecessary expanded child tax credit? Don't you think we've already got too many people sucking at the gubmint teat, we need to create more??

    Interesting, if anecdotal, story about that tax credit. One of my local news channels did a story on it before the Ukraine thing started grabbing all the headlines. They had some lady on, who was complaining about losing that extra money that she used "to buy my kids shoes". Meanwhile, in the background is a really nice looking home, perhaps an apartment, and hanging on the wall was a 60" or 65" flat panel TV.

    If you can afford that sort of TV, you can buy your own kid's damn shoes.

    For better accuracy always subtract at least 10 points from any poll measuring the approval of DP politicians to adjust for the well documented polling blind spot and political bias.

    Never believe political polls. The DP did try to find a better candidate than Biden - for a while.

    It was a moment that may come back to haunt Joe Biden—perhaps as soon as tonight’s Democratic debate: In an earlier round this summer, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey wheeled on the former vice president, attacking his sponsorship of the 1994 federal crime bill with a roundhouse punch. “There are people right now in prison for life for drug offenses,” Booker said, “because you stood up and used that tough-on-crime phony rhetoric that got a lot of people elected but destroyed communities like mine.”

    It is true that the bill—which extended the death penalty to 60 new crimes, stiffened sentences, offered states strong financial incentives for building new prisons, and banned a range of assault weapons—helped lead to the wave of mass incarceration that’s resulted in the United States accounting for 25 percent of the world’s prison population.”

    Why would anyone trust published political polling?

    Let's review:

    Trump lowered my taxes (I was able to buy a jacuzzi!)
    Biden left Americans and allies abandoned in Afghanistan
    Trump actually got SIGNED peace accords in the Middle East.
    Biden makes COVID vaxxing mandatory for Americans but not for illegal immigrants.
    Trump gave the military its first real pay raise in years.
    Biden seeks to restrict the second Amendment.
    Trump clobbered ISIS (captured their largest city – Mosul and their capital city - Raqqa.
    Biden armed the terrorist Taliban.
    Trump allowed terminal patients to use drugs not fully tested that might offer hope.

    Biden has allowed the opioid disaster to grow and grow by opening the borders.
    Biden killed pipeline jobs and US energy independence.
    Trump got us back in space on US-made rockets.
    Biden got 13 US Soldiers killed at the Kabul airport.
    Trump made us energy-independent.
    Biden opened our border... WIDE OPEN
    Trump supported the 2d amendment
    Biden indoctrinates our kids with racist "Critical Race theory"

    Biden has done nothing to support the police as our cities experience tremendous growth in murder and violence.

    Biden is causing outrageous inflation.

    There was no “supply chain” disaster under Trump as there is under Biden.

    Gas was about a buck and a half cheaper under Trump.

    People weren’t being banned from social media for speaking their minds under Trump.

    Parents counted under Trump. Under Biden (and you, by the way)… they don’t.

    gees... the list is endless

    The range is a function of the number of people polled, when you combine polls into an average the number of people expands significantly when it comes to MOE.

    You didn't include a link so that I could show you have 538 massages their polls.

    Add another buck in a month or two when they switch from "winter" to "summer" blend.

    They wanted European gas prices in America, and they are well on their way.

    Okay, in one poll. Here's RCP averages.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html

    STOU speaches sometimes do cause a jump, but that jump doesn't last. Biden's approval on foreign policy is still down in the dumps regardless of the STOU.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_biden_job_approval_foreign_policy-7322.html

    Regardless, I believe Biden, an adult is still much better than the childish president of Trump with his name calling and throwing of temper tantrums like a 4 year old spoiled brat along with his 3rd grade schoolyard bullying tactics.

    I can live with the grownup Biden even if I disagree more than agree with him. He beats the heck out of the very unpresidential, very rude and uncouth Trump.

    The poll is crap. Compare the topline with the response from Independents. In a trustworthy poll, after the GOP and Democrats cancel each out out, the top line generally conforms fairly closely to the Independent's. In this crap poll the topline diverges wildly from the response of Independents, and no recent polls confirm in the RCP average confirm the crap pro-Biden poll.

    Ukraine Take Away for militaries adjacent to countries that can invade by land. You can never have too many A-10's

    I generally don't, but I don't go out of my way to go with the terminally BS "Fake News" call either...

    2 different things there.... Perhaps it's untrustworthy news, but it's not Fake...
