President Joe Biden is calling on Americans to vote for Democrats in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade , but polling shows abortion is not a top concern for the American electorate.
“We need two additional pro-choice senators and a pro-choice House to codify Roe as federal law,” Biden said on Friday when signing an executive order related to expanding abortion access. “Your vote can make that a reality. For God’s sakes, there’s an election in November. Vote, vote, vote.”
A Monmouth University poll released Tuesday asked respondents to identify the biggest concern facing their family right now. In total, 66% cited inflation, gas prices, unemployment, economy and paying everyday bills. Abortion came in as a top concern for just 5%.
An Associated Press-NORC poll released Friday found that most Americans view economic issues as their top concern.
“Forty percent of U.S. adults specifically name inflation in an open-ended question as one of up to five priorities for the government to work on in the next year, according to a June poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research,” read an AP summary of the poll’s findings. “That’s a sharp rise from 14% in December and less than 1% the year prior. In all, 77% mention the economy in any way, up from 68% in December.”
Pollster Scott Rasmussen told Just the News that “the top 3 issues are still inflation, inflation, and inflation.”
Inflation is currently at a 40-year high, and gas prices are averaging close to $5 a gallon nationally.
Biden’s approval rating has dropped to a new low of 36%.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
