Wait Till Inflation REALLY Gets Going

The liberal Quinnipiac polling outfit pegs Zhou at 33% today. While that seems pretty bad, I suspect there’s still room on the downside:

Americans give President Joe Biden a negative 33 - 53 percent job approval rating, while 13 percent did not offer an opinion. In November 2021, Americans gave Biden a negative 36 - 53 percent job approval rating with 10 percent not offering an opinion.

Among Democrats in today's poll, 75 percent approve, 14 percent disapprove and 11 percent did not offer an opinion.

It seems there’s no place for Zhou to run for shelter:

Among adults, Americans give negative scores on the following three issues when asked about Biden's handling of...

• the economy: 34 percent approve, while 57 percent disapprove;

• foreign policy: 35 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove;

• the response to the coronavirus: 39 percent approve, while 55 percent disapprove.

Just a complete trainwreck—thanks DC Establishment!

Specifically regarding the economy, it seems Americans see what’s ahead, but when it hits home … there’s downside room there, too:

A majority of Americans, 54 percent, think the nation's economy is getting worse, 30 percent say it's staying about the same, and 15 percent say it's getting better.

As for the current state of the economy, 28 percent say it's either excellent (2 percent) or good (26 percent), while 70 percent say it's not so good (35 percent) or poor (35 percent).

No party breakout on the economy.

Now, here’s an interesting question—and answer:

A majority of Americans, 58 - 37 percent, think the nation's democracy is in danger of collapse.

Republicans say 62 - 36 percent, independents say 57 - 39 percent, and Democrats say 56 - 37 percent they think the nation's democracy is in danger of collapse.

Of course there are different ways to interpret those answers, but none are really signs of health for the body politic. 49-42 Americans regard Zhou as a divider.

Interesting times.
