The downward trend for Biden follows a string of issues concerning the American people, including the economy, as inflation hits hard and food and gas prices skyrocket this holiday season.

Pete Buttigieg: Rural Drivers Should Buy Electric Cars Because They Use the Most Gas
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday rural and suburban voters should buy electric cars because they burn the most gasoline.
“The people who stand to benefit most from owning an EV are often rural residents, who have the longest distances to drive, they often burn the most gas,” Buttigieg said in an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart.
He also argued low-income suburban drivers would benefit from electric vehicles because gas near urban areas was more expensive.
“They would gain the most from having that vehicle, but these are the very residents who have not always been connected to electric vehicles that are viewed as kind of a luxury item,” Buttigieg said.
He promoted Biden’s Build Back Better social entitlement bill for restoring a tax credit of up to $12,500 for union-made electric vehicles, noting “families who once they own that vehicle will never have to worry about gas prices again.”
Buttigieg’s comments track with the White House messaging for all Americans concerned by high gas prices to buy an electric car.
President Joe Biden touted electric cars as a way to beat high gas prices in a speech last week.
“For the hundreds of thousands of folks who bought one of those electric cars, they’re going to save $800 to $1000 in fuel costs this year,” Biden said, referring to the $112,595 electric Hummer pickup he test drove at a General Motors factory in Detroit earlier this month
Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said last week the best strategy to tackle high gas prices was to get Americans off fossil fuels and onto clean energy and electric cars.
“That is the best strategy long term to protect American consumers from these energy price shocks,” she said.
Shipping Crisis Goes From Bad To Worse As Ports Shut Down And Push Shortages To Soar By 400 Percent
Is Pete Buttigieg doing anything other than running for office?
A culprit is emerging from the supply chain crisis in the minds of voters and it's not good news for Democrats.
Here's what a new poll from I&I/TIPP, via Issues & Insights' Terry Jones, has found:
...the November I&I/TIPP Poll shows Americans overwhelmingly blame our Potomac-based political class for the current problems.
The poll asked: “In general, how responsible are politicians in Washington for recent increases in gasoline and food prices?” The answer suggests coal (or perhaps tiny solar panels?) in many politicians’ stockings this year: 69% of those responding said politicians were responsible, while just 21% said they weren’t.
Perhaps the most surprising result comes from looking at the political breakdown. There is little, if any, difference between Democrats (71%), Republicans (73%) and independents/others (68%). Finally, something on which all the major parties can agree.
Which is laughable. Both candidates are utterly unpopular and doing their "fair share" to drag the Democrats under. In addition to that, the pair hate each other, with Kamala's camp last seen accusing the Buttigieg camp of leaking mean stories about their candidate.
Back to Work: Joe Biden Emerges from Five-Day Vacation to Address Omicron Variant, Supply Chains
President Joe Biden has returned to the White House after his five-day Thanksgiving vacation with plans to address the country on critical issues.
The president returned Sunday evening after spending five days on Nantucket Island with his family, remaining mostly private.
He spoke briefly with reporters as he attended a Christmas tree lighting ceremony on the island and also went shopping.
Biden will address the nation on his administration’s efforts to combat the Omicron variant of the coronavirus on Monday, according to the White House, as well as supply chain difficulties during the Christmas season after meeting with retail CEOs.
First Lady Jill Biden is also expected to reveal the White House decorations for the holiday season on Monday afternoon. Her theme this year is “Gifts from the Heart.”
Later in the week, Biden will travel to Rosemount, Minnesota to promote his infrastructure and social entitlement spending bill.
He will also commemorate World Aids Day, celebrate Hanukkah, and again address the ongoing battle against coronavirus before lighting the National Christmas tree on Thursday.
On Friday, Biden will react to the November jobs report.
Biden’s schedule does not include visiting Waukesha, Wisconsin after the horrific Christmas Parade attack that killed six and wounded over 60. Seven children are still hospitalized from the attack.
The president also has no plans to address rising crime and reports of the growing looting of retail stores.
President Biden’s Average Approval Rating Sinks to 41.6 Percent
President Joe Biden’s approval rating is now underwater by double digits, over 10 months into his presidency, Friday’s RealClearPolitics’ average shows.
RCP’s average of polls, which includes Rasmussen Reports, Economist/YouGov, NPR/PBS/Marist, Reuters/Ipsos, Fox News, Politico/Morning Consult, Quinnipiac, ABC News/Washington Post, Gallup, Monmouth, Federalist/Susquehanna, USA Today/Suffolk, Emerson, and CNN, currently shows Biden’s approval rating sitting at 41.6 percent. A majority, 53.1 percent disapprove of Biden’s job performance, giving him a net negative of 11.5 percent.
Every single poll listed showed Biden’s approval underwater, several by double digits. The USA Today/Suffolk survey, for instance, has Biden underwater by 21 percent, garnering an abysmal 38 percent approval rating. Similarly, Federalist/Susquehanna showed Biden -16, with 36 percent approving and 52 percent disapproving.
The downward trend for Biden follows a string of issues concerning the American people, including the economy, as inflation hits hard and food and gas prices skyrocket this holiday season.
While Biden originally dismissed inflation as a temporary problem, he admitted this month that it is, indeed, “worrisome.” This week, Biden “ordered the release of tens of millions of barrels of oil from the strategic reserve in a move to bring down prices at the pump” — a move that many criticized, asserting that such measures should not be used to reverse bad policy.
Biden’s downward spiral in approval ratings also comes months after Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, where 13 U.S. servicemembers lost their lives and Americans were left behind, as Biden abided by the Taliban-approved timeline for withdrawal.
Nevertheless, President Biden departed early for his Thanksgiving vacation in Nantucket this week as word of another coronavirus variant of concern began to emerge, prompting the United Kingdom to suspend flights from South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
