Hennen: North Dakota says ‘I told you so’ on Biden

People commonly get requested about their opinions on all the things from soup to nuts. Evidently, we’re not a contented bunch in regards to the nationwide mess.

However the beauty of North Dakotans is we get to say, “I advised you so.” You may’t blame us for Joe Biden turning into president or the mess his terrible insurance policies have foisted on America.

The November 2020 election in North Dakota had 65.5% of the vote for President Donald Trump and solely 31.9% for Biden. Solely two small rural counties voted for Biden-Harris, and the remaining went for Trump-Pence. If I had been a North Dakotan who voted for Biden, I’d begin to surprise if I might finest relocate to California or some such like-minded liberal paradise.

Again to North Dakota. Because the Biden ballot numbers plummet nationally, we are able to finest clarify it as the remainder of the nation catching up with our lead.

Verify this out. Persons are significantly ticked in regards to the ache within the pocketbook that has resulted from a big-spending, feckless financial coverage. A current Fox Information ballot consists of interviews with 1,006 registered voters nationwide who had been randomly chosen from a voter file. Listed here are a couple of highlights:

“Some 57% say they’ve much less cash of their pocket than they did a yr in the past. That’s up seven factors from 50% who felt that manner final February. These feeling hardest hit embrace Republican girls (78% much less cash now), rural Whites (69%), Gen Xers (63%) and voters with annual revenue under $50,000 (62%). Totally 78% say the economic system is in solely truthful or poor situation, largely unchanged for the final yr.”

A staple ballot query for each president is on job approval. As they are saying within the polling enterprise, Biden is “the other way up.” Here’s a not-so-hot takeaway:

“Biden’s worst job rankings proceed to be on inflation, with 31% approving. And that’s a excessive level — approval went as little as 23% in June 2022. His rankings are additionally effectively underwater on the economic system (36% approve, 62% disapprove), immigration (36% approve, 61% disapprove), weapons (36% approve, 60% disapprove) and the opioid epidemic (36% approve, 56% disapprove).”

Not an excessive amount of to be celebrating in your weekends in Delaware proper there. In actual fact, there’s no “good” information.

What in regards to the freebie handout the Biden administration has proposed for pupil mortgage forgiveness? It was proposed after which paused as a result of a number of states are suing on the Supreme Courtroom arguing that the proposal is not constitutional. Survey says: 49% of peeps say Joe exceeded his authority. 44% say he acted inside his authority, however they do not get a vote. Solely the 9 members of the U.S. Supreme Courtroom get the ultimate phrase.

We must always in all probability put this column out of its distress quickly. I’d start to weep overtly for poor Joe. Or not.

It appears the dealing with of the East Palestine, Ohio, prepare derailment did not get good grades both. 57% of these polled disapprove of the president’s dealing with of the accident. Solely 33% approve, which is odd as a result of he did not do something besides take part in a Zoom name. Not an excellent look when persons are sick and afraid to drink the water.

Can Biden save this sinking ship? Nope. He isn’t a pacesetter. He by no means has been.
