A Washington Post-ABC News poll has found that President Biden is struggling to gain approval from the American public. Dissatisfaction is growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, and there are concerns about his age as he seeks a second term. The poll also suggests that Biden and former President Donald Trump could face a rematch in the 2024 election, although more than three in five Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they would prefer a nominee other than Biden.
Biden’s advisers argue that he is the strongest Democrat for 2024, as there is no consensus among those who wish for someone else. The poll shows Biden trailing Trump by a massive 10 percentage points.
In his bid to become the Republican presidential nominee for a third time, Trump is in a strong position nationally, despite facing multiple criminal charges. He is favored by 54 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is second at 15 percent, and no other Republican reaches double digits. Trump also leads his GOP rivals in recent state polls. The poll also asked about accountability for both Trump and Biden.
Fifty three percent of Americans say Trump is being held accountable under the law like others, while 40 percent say he is being unfairly victimized by his political opponents. Regarding the impeachment inquiry aimed at Biden by House Republicans, 58 percent of Americans say Biden is being held accountable, while 32 percent say he is being unfairly victimized.
Biden’s overall approval stands at 37 percent, with 56 percent of Americans disapproving of his performance. His approval rating on handling the economy has dropped to 30 percent, the lowest of his presidency. Concerns about inflation persist, and the public’s perception of the economy, gas prices, and food prices remains negative. On immigration, 23 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, while 62 percent disapprove. The poll also revealed significant demographic variations, with Trump leading among men, voters under age 35, and those who say they did not vote in 2020.
The poll was conducted from September 15-20 with a random national sample of 1,006 U.S. adults. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Executives for subsidiaries of Smartmatic, the voting technology company currently suing Fox News for defamation, have been accused as uncharged co-conspirators in a bribery case, according to a court filing.
The allegations emerged in a case against the former chairman of the Philippines Commission on Elections, Andres Bautista, with court documents suggesting the US Department of Justice has filed money laundering charges against Bautista, with four Smartmatic executives implicated in the case. Both Smartmatic and Bautista deny any wrongdoing.
Smartmatic, in a statement, maintained that it has complied with all bidding processes and procurement procedures in the Philippines, adhering to the relevant laws and regulations. The company emphasized that winning bids in the country are not based on a single individual’s preference, but involve multiple technical evaluations and assessments. Smartmatic said the ongoing investigation is unrelated to election security or integrity.
Fox News, which settled a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems earlier this year, is also facing a $2.7 billion lawsuit from Smartmatic and its lead counsel, Erik Connolly, is demanding a full retraction and apology from the news network.

Project Veritas has fired all staff and ceased operations, just seven months after founder James O’Keefe was pushed out by the board of directors. O’Keefe, long considered synonymous with the Project Veritas brand, resumed his work with his new O’Keefe Media Group (OMG). Veritas, he says, has now sued him, and blown through the millions of dollars cash-on-hand when O’Keefe left.

“Since James quit, the donations tried up,” said a source. They laid much of the blame for the collapse of Veritas at the feet of O’Keefe’s replacement, Hannah Giles, accusing her of having “lied to everyone claiming she had all these donors she could bring in.”
Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief at The National Pulse, offered to purchase Project Veritas after it fired most of its staff en masse on August 17th, but it instead kept on a skeleton crew to try and raise funds – evidently without success.
Hi @Project_Veritas I am willing to purchase your entire company and run it as the research arm of @TheNatPulse and restore the brand to greatness.
Let’s talk soon and I’ll lay out a plan, contingent also on finding a fair resolution to the James O’Keefe saga.

President Joe Biden has received a COVID booster vaccination and is urging Americans to do the same, according to an announcement from the White House on Saturday.
Biden also received a flu shot on Friday, and previously received a vaccination against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
The presidential physician, Kevin C. O’Connor, released a letter stating that as the cold and flu season approaches, President Biden is encouraging all Americans to be as healthy as he is, meaning fully vaccinated.
It is unclear if President Biden was awake, or indeed upright, during these vaccinations.

Women represent a tiny minority of illegal migrants smuggled into the European Union last year, with Frontex – the EU’s border and coastal agency – finding that just eight percent of new arrivals were female.
Just 26,446 of the 331,553 illegal migrants were women, with the rest registered as men or “not available” by the agency, dispelling the myth often reported by the mainstream media that those arriving include a high number of desperate women and children.
In fact, the only occasion in which women and children were the outright majority was in the roughly 13 million who fled the war in Ukraine. These, however, were not recorded as illegal crossings.
Men from countries including Syria, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Turkey and others represented a significant majority of the EU’s illegal arrivals.
The report also predicted the number of illegal migrants is expected to increase further in the following years. It states: “There is much to suggest that clandestine entry may increase in the next year in line with expected higher migratory pressure at the EU external borders in general.”

Joe Biden has put the former White House official who spearheaded an unlawful social media censorship effort in charge of an anti-“misinformation” operation involving hundreds of staff and volunteers. They will be tasked with monitoring online platforms.
Rob Flaherty was instrumental in the Biden regime’s campaign to pressure social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter (now X) to censor the likes of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tucker Carlson, and generally restrict the speech of Americans expressing lawfully-held opinions online.
The courts ruled the pressure campaign violated the First Amendment after a case brought by the attorneys general for Missouri and Louisiana, with a judge deeming it “arguably… the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.”
Nevertheless, President Biden continued to praise and promote Flaherty, and his elevation to a new “misinfo” role on his reelection campaign suggests he is likely to redouble his efforts, this time in a notionally party political capacity rather than a governmental one.

Just hours after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delivered a speech on his proposed presidential energy policy, the 47,000 member Oil and Gas Workers Association announced they would be endorsing former President Donald Trump. In an interview Oil and Gas Workers Association President Matt Coday said, “Governor DeSantis says a lot of the right things, right, but his track record isn’t there.”
Coday said the association is backing Trump because of the former President’s America First polices enacted during his first presidential administration, including the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords and work to save American oil and gas jobs. With energy prices becoming a major issue for voters in the 2024 election, Coday says Trump’s strong track record puts him in the best position to win, noting under Trump’s leadership, “…Our economy boomed and benefited every American. We don’t have that today with Joe Biden in the White House. His intent and and obviously actions to kill our oil and gas jobs. They hurt our economy and threaten our national security.”
The association’s formal endorsement states:
“President Trump has been the most pro-American Oil & Gas Workers president ever, with 11.3 million jobs supported by our vital industry in 2019. Under President Trump’s leadership, our country became energy dominant. The booming economy of the Trump years benefitted every American.”
The DeSantis campaign has failed to gain traction since his late May announcement for president. A poll from CNN released earlier this week shows DeSantis falling to fifth place in New Hampshire – a 13 point from from their previous poll in the state. In Iowa, a state critical to the DeSantis campaign’s primary strategy, Donald Trump has secured double the number of signed caucus pledge cards as DeSantis.

Tens of thousands of anti-Brexit campaigners were expected to gather in central London on Saturday to rally for the United Kingdom rejoining the European Union (EU). Instead, only a few thousand — if that — showed up, with the pro-EU Independent newspaper suggesting the number could have been as low as one thousand.
The National Rejoin March (NRM) was expected to bring tens of thousands to Westminster in Central London. Instead, a relatively small gaggle of globalists and paid activists trudged through Piccadilly, with locals shouting, “You’re wasting your time!”
Speakers at the rally include former Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, as well as anti-Brexit lawyer Gina Miller.
The failure of the march is especially noteworthy due to the large-scale sponsorship of pro-EU causes, including the provision of buses from across the UK to attract activists to the event.
National polling has shown an increasing number of people are willing to consider rejoining the European Union, especially given that the “Conservative” government in the United Kingdom barely implemented Brexit in the first instance.
Since leaving the EU, migration has hit record highs, and the UK government has caved to Brussels on almost every negotiation. The opposition Labour Party is now suggesting an “associate” membership for the UK, which comes with all the financial and legal obligations, but none of the voting rights of a member state i.e. the worst of both worlds.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has vetoed a bill that requires judges in child custody cases to consider whether a parent has affirmed their child’s gender identity. While the move was blasted by the bill’s authors, Newsom explained in a statement that he believes “…a court, under existing law, is required to consider a child’s health, safety, and welfare when determining the best interests of a child in these proceedings, including the parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity.”
Effectively, Newsom is claiming the thrust of the bill is already California law, though bill co-author Sen. Scott Wiener disagrees, claiming, “Governor Newsom has been such a staunch ally to the LGBTQ community. A true champion. Respectfully, however, this veto is a mistake”.
Newsom said he appreciates the “passion and values” that led Democrat Assemblywoman Lori Wilson to introduce the bill, adding that he shares a “deep commitment to advancing the rights of transgender Californians, an effort that has guided my decisions through many decades in public office.”
