Biden Struggles in Polls as GOP Surges

The newest round of Quinnipiac polls
has given President
Biden his lowest marks yet across the board. Republicans, on the other
hand, are increasingly seen as the best party to lead the country amid
numerous crises both at home and abroad.

* Overall, President Biden's job approval has continued to sink. He
now sits at just 38% approval with 53% disapproval - down from 42% and
50%, respectively, just 3 weeks ago. 

* The president is suffering on nearly every important issue as well. A
majority of Americans significantly disapprove of his performance on the
economy, taxes, foreign policy, immigration, the southern border crisis,
and the military - to name a few. 

* Out of all of these issues, President Biden is performing most poorly
with the American people on the southern border crisis. Just 23% approve
of his handling of the issue while 67% disapprove. 

* As the president and his White House struggle to find support,
Republicans are gaining increasing popularity. According to a new Gallup
Poll
,

"Americans by significant margins now view the Republican Party as
better than the Democratic Party at protecting the nation from
international threats (54% to 39%, respectively) and at ensuring the
nation remains prosperous (50% to 41%)."

With the president failing on significant issues like Afghanistan, the
resurgence in COVID-19, and the southern border crisis, it's no wonder
that Americans see the Republican Party as better than Democrats at
defending the nation from outside threats and securing prosperity. These
polling trends will likely continue as more Americans turn away from the
president. 

With Biden Missing at the Border, GOP Governors Take Action

As the southern border crisis remains out of control and the White House
continues to do nothing, a group of Republican governors traveled there
this week and outlined a comprehensive plan to actually fix it. 

* The situation at the border is dire, and Americans are fed up with
President Biden. Significantly, 69% of Hispanic Americans disapprove

of his handling of the crisis and 41% say he is "not aggressive
enough" with deportations of illegal aliens. 

* While Texas is the center of the migrant crisis, it is just as bad
elsewhere along the southern border. Gov. Doug Ducey warned

that migrant incursions are just as 'out of control' in Arizona,
where Border Patrol have encountered 1,038% more suspected illegal
immigrants year-over-year in the state's Yuma region:

**"What's already happening in Yuma is reflective of what's happening
on the Texas border. Arizona is a border state. We faced this before,
but we've never faced a crisis this large in 21 years."**

* In the absence of any federal solutions or leadership, 10 Republican
governors traveled to the southern border this week and slammed
President Biden while unveiling a 10-point plan

to address the crisis. 

* The governors' Joint Policy Framework consists of immediately
actionable steps to curb migration and limit its damaging consequences.
For example, these include dedicating resources to combat human and drug
trafficking, resuming the deportation of criminal aliens, and
re-entering all agreements with our Northern Triangle partners and
Mexico. 

States have been left to deal with an issue that is a federal
responsibility, and while their GOP leaders are justifiably calling out
the president, they are also taking important actions to curb these
unprecedented rates of illegal migration themselves. 

Economic Problems Burden Americans With Higher Costs

Inflation and worse-than-expected jobs numbers show that the U.S.
economy's comeback from COVID-19 is faltering, but that hasn't
stopped President Biden from pushing Congress to pass trillions of
dollars in spending. 

* Rising inflation has translated into higher costs of living

for average Americans, and many do not see an end in sight. For
households earning the median income of around $70,000 a year, inflation
has forced them to spend an extra $175 a month on food, fuel, and
housing. 

* Gas prices, specifically, have risen to their highest level since
2014

amid global concerns about supply and increasing national demand. 

* Amid this rising inflation, the U.S. economy only added 194,000 jobs

in September - a figure far below the expected number of 500,000. Nick
Bunker, research director at Indeed:

**"This is quite a deflating report" **

* Meanwhile, President Biden is doing everything in his power to pass

trillions in spending, despite Democratic infighting in Congress. RNC
Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
: 

**"Biden has already spent trillions on his left-wing laundry list.
Now he's looking to spend $3.5 trillion more. That's the equivalent
of $27,000 in new spending for every single household in America."**

As Americans struggle to keep up with rising prices across every major
category, President Biden has remained determined to spend astronomical
amounts of money and expand the federal government even further. As the
Christmas season approaches, it is likely that costs will continue to
increase and strain Americans' wallets.
