In the 2020 national Marquette Law School Poll, 59% said they trusted the Court most, with the presidency at 24% and Congress at 16%.
The Republican Plan To Use COVID Surge To Hurt Biden Politically Is Failing
Fox News and the Republican Party have been increasingly trying to blame Biden for the return of mask guidance and other elements of the pandemic that are being fueled by the refusal of Republicans, specifically Trump supporters, to get vaccinated.
The American people aren’t falling for it. The White House has driven the message that the surge in COVID is being fueled by Republicans not getting vaccinated. The press has been clear on who is responsible for the rising cases, and the Republican efforts to blame Biden for the pandemic that they refuse to take measures to mitigate in their states is failing.
Republicans are resisting mask mandates and vaccinations because they are still running the Trump playbook of pandemic denial for political gain.
Americans are growing increasingly angry and frustrated with the unvaccinated, and it is Republicans, not President Biden, who have made themselves the target of their wrath.
The usual tactics that Republicans have used to weaken a Democrat’s approval are so far not working against President Biden.
