We've suspected that the American people aren't in favor of Joe Biden's new winter COVID restrictions, but today, a new poll confirms exactly that.
According to a brand-new poll from Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group, a full 64.9% of Americans say "NO" to any new mandates or restrictions in the wake of the new Omicron variant. These Americans have seen the data, and they know the new variant doesn't pose an increased risk of hospitalization or death.
“Unlike government health officials in Washington, DC, Americans have already figured out that mandates and lockdowns are not the way we will beat the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “As we’ve seen in our polls repeatedly, the American people are tired of all this and ready to get on with their lives. The U.S. Senate finally recognized this reality this week with the bi-partisan passage of the bill to block President Biden’s illegal vaccine mandate, and we’re going to see more of this as we get closer to 2022 and elected officials fight to save their jobs.”

Americans from all parties agree -- the federal government has overstepped. That's why millions have joined the Article V Convention of States movement.
A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments that limit federal power. Americans shouldn't have to worry that their president will act like a king. After a Convention of States, they won't have to.
