1. Americans admire the honest, hard-working Joe Democrat

and scorn the lying, sniviling, boastful, FAIL of the disgraced and impeached republican, who insulted our US troops as "losers" and "suckers," and kissed the ass of the russian tyrant, that's right: the casino hustler from Hell, Donald "I'm-the-best-the-republicans-have" Trump.

6. MTG may just force all rightwing nutjobs to re-examine their belief system.

At lest they sure need to.

5. Americans feel

that President Biden cares about them.

9. Because he DOES.

And he doesn't lie.

And he speaks from the heart.

And he has 152,000 years experience in the highest levels of government. He's no rookie nor flash-in-the-pan. Just a good strong steady hand on the steering wheel of state.

7. Nice numbers, but Harvard CAPS/Harris poll is trash.

Mark Penn is a player, and sculpts his results to fit. His other poll, HarrisX, doubles down on dodgy, adding Scott Rasmussen to the mix.

8. FANTASTIC!

Very difficult to keep an approval rating that high indefinitely, but it will leave a lasting impression.

AND it keeps getting better!
