Poll: Overwhelming Disapproval of Biden’s Handling of Chinese Spy Balloon Crisis
Nearly 60 Percent of Voters Also Say Biden’s Mishandling of Crisis Makes America Look Weak on Global Stage
(Austin, TX—February 7, 2023) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted February 6th through February 7th of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“The haughty assurance from the DC Establishment that ‘the adults are back in charge’ after Biden became president is once again coming back to haunt us. As we saw with the historic disaster in Afghanistan, President Biden and his team are consistently unprepared for the crises our country is facing, both internationally and domestically,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “This is what happens when unserious people are put in charge and come up against serious and dangerous problems. America would be better off if President Biden and his administration spent less time telling us people’s pronouns and pushing far-left initiatives, and more time on the important business of actually running our nation. China is the greatest threat to America since the Soviet Union, and they are laughing at us. The American people are demanding serious leadership now.”
