    Wow, shocker. What was the expectation with Biden? The people that produced the fraudulent election results are to blame for this disaster.

    But that poll also showed confidence in the current administration. It’s all because they think the anti-vaxers are screwing it up for the rest of us.

    And yet President Biden maintains the highest approval ratings after 6 months of any president since polling started.

    Yeah, but it’s still dramatically higher than it was when tRump and the Qpublicans were in office. If turtleman and his cronies in the Senate and House did their jobs instead of following an obstructionist agenda, we’d have an infrastructure bill and a real investigation into 1/6.

    Yes, because many fear the Republicans will regain congress in 2022 elections. Enough to scare the **** out of any sane person.

    Yup.. folk are realizing Moscow Mitch is still the same obstructionist that he was. On top of that, and adding to the gloom.. is that trump is still not in jail. The Anti Vaxxers are breeding ever more virulent strains of COVID.. Yup, it’s depressing indeed.

    the artist seems to think the poll results are in reaction to Biden’s administration. . .I think its maybe about both parties . . .and their ’bi-partisan" focus on yet more pork . . .we need structural change. ..government structural change. . .more access for third parties

    If I was living in a Western state which has been in drought for years, the normal summer temperature is 100+ and forest fires are as much of summer as baseball I too would doubt the future.

    That’s right, Gary! Biden is leading the wrong way: 1. eliminate covid-19, 2. help workers find parity, 3. recharge the U.S. economy, etc. Clearly, the wrong goals. Attacks on the Capitol, gassing peaceful protestors to clear the way for a photo op, building senseless walls against brown people, is clearly the right way.

    OF COURSE people are getting pessimistic. Right now I’m sitting in my kitchen contemplating starting a new school year where I have to wear a mask. This is because in spite of the readily available Corona Virus vaccine, a significant portion of the American public refuses to take it AND refuses to take the precautions necessary to prevent it’s spread. Why, you ask? FREEDOM!

    Then as I look out south I can see the sky darkening as a line of thunderstorms approaches. Rain would be nice in our drought plagued state, but it bring much, if any. It might bring fires though. Last year it brought three of the largest fires in our state and burned down houses a few miles away from me (I live in a medium sized city). All this is caused by Climate Change. We’ve known about this for 40 years, but a large part of the public derides it as a hoax, and so we’ve done nothing.

    None of this has anything to do with the current president. It has to do with 50 years of one party decided to wage a scorched earth campaign against the other. If the left thinks something is a good idea, then the right will fight it to the bitter end and the detriment of all.

    And now the chickens are coming home to roost and the right wingers will blame everyone else and use it to beat up the guy who we elected to fix it (he can’t). Biden isn’t causing inflation. He isn’t causing people not to take the vaccine – in fact the right has now taken to calling it the “Trump Vaccine” to get their rubes to take it. Right wingers are like the guy who farts in class and blames the person sitting next to him.

    We are truly screwed.

    Varvel using the schoolyard “Huh uh, not me, IT’S YOU” counter. In this case, he’s blaming PRESIDENT BIDEN (I love typing that) for the country’s drop in confidence about the future that’s directly tied to the fear that Delta Covid may bounce us back to Pandemic lockdown. And why might that happen? Because Right Wing Nuts won’t get vaccinated. So Varvel, still living in a grade school world, says “Huh uh, it’s not because of us nuts, it’s because of you!”.

    Grow up Varvel.

    Joe Biden is having a very rough time of it, it just takes his faithful longer to realize and acknowledge it.

    LilyOme probably does not accept climate change, because of his/her superior knowledge of the process. He/she should relocate to the North Pole, in order to study the physics directly. His/her efforts would be much appreciated.

    You might be interested to know that Conservative pundits like Sean Hannity and Pols like Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are now encouraging the GOP base to get vaccinated because they fear that if enough people in the base either die from Covid (or become too sick to vote) the Democrats will expand their majorities in both houses of Congress. So this could end up biting the GOP base in the butt in more ways than one.

    Anti Vax republicans have decided to shut the USA down for another year.

    Name one good thing the republicans have done for the USA in the last 25 years.

    BY THE STANDARDS of the 21st century as a whole, 2021 will almost certainly go down as a comparatively cool year. By the standards of the rest of human history its weather looks disconcertingly like hell.

    On July 20th, as Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland were still coming to terms with the fact that a stationary system of storms had turned entire towns into rivers and shredded the surrounding countryside, hundreds of thousands of people in the Chinese province of Henan were evacuated in the face of floods of their own; the city of Zhengzhou saw a year’s worth of rain in three days.

    Also on July 20th Cizre, in Turkey, saw a temperature of 49.1°C (120°F), the highest ever recorded in the country. There has been barely any respite from searingly hot conditions along the northern Pacific coast of North America since the region was hit by an unprecedented heatwave two weeks ago, and already the region is bracing for another. Other places at high latitudes have been seeing similar—if less destructive—anomalies. In the first half of the month Finland experienced its longest heatwave for at least 60 years, with temperatures rising to the low 30°Cs in Lapland. On July 14th the country tossed and turned through its hottest night ever: two weather stations recorded temperatures no lower than 24.2°C.

    On July 11th, a National Weather Service thermometer at Furnace Creek in Death Valley recorded a temperature of 54°C. If confirmed by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), that would tie a reading taken at the same location last year for the hottest formally recognised daytime temperature ever. On July 19th more than 40% of the Greenland ice cap had meltwater on it. The amount of sea-ice cover in the Arctic was as low as it was at the same point in 2012, which saw the lowest summer sea ice ever recorded.

    This is what Earth looks like when, according to the latest data from the WMO, it is 1.1-1.3°C warmer than it was before the steam engine was invented.

    Why is it that polls that show Trump or the GOP in a negative light are all biased propaganda hit pieces, but when the same pollsters find something that can be considered negative about liberals or the Democratic party they are suddenly honest revelations?

    Never look for the reason optimism has dropped Gary? Worry about a resurgence of the virus is also apparent when looking at how concerned the public is about contracting the virus.

    According to this ABC News/Ipsos poll, about 6 in 10 Americans are concerned — 20% very and 42% somewhat — that they or someone they know will become infected with the coronavirus; about 4 in 10 (39%) are not concerned about this.
