OOPS! Look who got totally snookered by a fake poll that he posted about for 2 or 3 days. Hilarious! What a gruber. Some losers just like to remain ignorant.

Confirmed: Rumors of a Joe Biden ‘Comeback’ Were Greatly Exaggerated


We reported Friday on how CNN’s Chris “reporters don’t pick sides” Cillizza was salivating over a post-State of the Union address poll from NPR/PBS/Marist that showed President Biden with an eight point jump (to 47%) in comparison to a prior poll taken by the same outfit a few weeks prior.

As Bonchie wrote in his piece at the time, the likelihood of this poll being a sign of things to come was slim to none considering a couple of other polls (Rasumussen and Reuters) released at the same time showed his numbers continued to be dismal.

Since that time, an additional two polls have been taken which further confirm that the one Cillizza gleefully referenced was indeed an outlier. The first one, from IBD/TIPP, showed Biden gaining one point overall in approval rating (39%) and with virtually no movement among the crucial independent voting bloc:

However, the March survey of 1,318 adults found that the president’s address, which covered inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, did not sway independents. Only 27 percent of independents approve of Biden’s performance — the same result as in February.

The figure for independents who disapprove was 53 percent in March, down from 55 percent in February.

He did, however, improve eight points among Democrats, with 74% approving – though the number seems high, a political party not rallying around their president and giving him numbers in the 80s and 90s in an election year is usually bad news for the party in charge.

In a Quinnipiac poll released Monday, Biden saw only a one-point jump (to 38%) among Americans over his numbers in the same poll from last week, with people still “divided” on his handling of Russia’s attack on Ukraine:

FLASHBACK: Trump Warned UN About Relying
On Russian Oil, Was Laughed At By German Delegation


Original Article

The German delegation appeared to laugh at former President Donald Trump during a 2018 United Nations (U.N.) speech in which the president warned about relying on Russian oil. While speaking at the 73rd U.N. General Assembly, Trump criticized Germany for relying on Russian oil exports. “Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation. That is why we congratulate European states, such as Poland, for leading the construction of a Baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on Russia to meet their energy needs,” Trump said. “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.”
