Put America First!

A recent Rasmussen poll asked a rather unusually worded question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement – "The Biden administration is making a colossal mistake in thinking that it can protract the war in Ukraine, bleed Russia dry, topple Putin and signal to China to keep its hands off Taiwan."

Half of voters agreed that Biden's efforts to prolong the war in Ukraine and seek regime change in Russia are a colossal mistake, while 35% disagreed.

The only group that supported Biden was self-identified liberals, but even they split 45% to 43%. Republicans (57%), Hispanics and Asians (56% each) all felt a policy of war in Ukraine and pushing regime change in Russia was a colossal mistake.

Americans clearly support the Ukrainian people. And they have very negative feelings about Putin. But they don't want to stumble into a major war that could turn nuclear. 

As we have reported, the latest NBC News poll shows that Joe Biden is in big trouble. The latest Fox News poll shows that most people believe the country is on the wrong track. Yet, both polls also found that the battle for control of Congress is statistically tied. 

If that's accurate, the November election isn't likely to be a blowout. Redistricting has not gone well for the GOP. Left-wing state courts have shot down several Republican congressional maps. The Senate, which is divided 50/50, has ten seats ranked as "toss-up races." 

While voters are obviously disenchanted with Biden, the "opposition party" clearly has not yet sealed the deal. Perhaps conservatives need to spend more time talking about America and the issues impacting voters here. Issues like crime, inflation, illegal immigration, gas prices, indoctrination in the classroom, the left's war on normalcy, and and how they will make the average American family's life better.
