The American people have a message for their increasingly despotic government, and this is it:
A Fox poll recently showed that Americans have had a double-digit shift over the past year in how they view government help.
Last August, in the midst of pandemic lockdowns, 57% of Americans wanted their primary message to the government to be "lend me a hand." Now, it's only 44%.
Meanwhile, those who want the government to "leave me alone" rose from 36% to 47%.
That shift comes almost completely from Republicans. A year ago, they were more likely to ask the government to "leave me alone" than "lend a hand" by a slim 3-point margin (48-45 percent). Now, Republicans are firmly in the back-off camp by 56 points (75-19 percent). Some 69 percent of Democrats would tell the government "lend me a hand." It was 71 percent in 2020.
The question is, will those die-hard dependent Dems realize that their addiction to government handouts is the way dozens of other nations have been enslaved to totalitarian regimes?
There might be a glimmer of hope there.
The poll also revealed that three-quarters of Americans earning less than $50,000 say that rising grocery and gas prices are causing budgetary concerns for their families. Over half of those earning more than $100,000 agree.
This American has certainly noticed how much more he's spending to feed, house, and transport his family over the last 7 months since Joe took office. Blowout spending and authoritarian governance will do that to ya.
A recent Rasmussen poll found that at least 52% of likely voters disapprove of Biden's work in the White House. 42% said that they "strongly disapprove" of the Biden presidency, while only 26% said they "strongly approve."
According to a running graph by YouGovAmerica, Harris' unpopularity hit 49%, while her popularity hovers at 45%. An Economist/YouGov poll shows that Harris is particularly unpopular with younger voters — only 36% of those surveyed in the 18 to 29 demographic view her "favorably."
There might be hope for Americans to remember those wise words of that Reagan guy after all!
Preach.
