Of the three major polls released today (Fox News, ABC/WaPo, NBC/WSJ) there's a huge difference among how Independents feel about Biden: (Approve/disapprove)
Fox News: 42/49
ABC: 47/44
NBC: 61/34— Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) April 25, 2021
According to the Daily Wire, the poll found that Republicans and Independents were consistent when it came to opposing packing the Supreme Court regardless of who would benefit from it.
Democrats on the other hand showed significantly more support for packing the Supreme Court under Democrat President Joe Biden but then overwhelmingly rejected the idea when asked if they would support packing the Supreme Court if Donald Trump was still president.
The Wall Street Journal added:
Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker finds consistently strong opposition among independents to such plans for structural changes, and concludes that moderate and unaffiliated voters did not vote for Joe Biden in 2020 “to turn the government upside-down” or “remake America.” Rather, they were hoping he would bring calm and perhaps “less bickering” to Washington, he adds.
If Senate Democrats choose to make such radical changes despite widespread popular opposition, the new survey suggests they can expect a political reckoning in 2022. Independents saying they would be less likely to vote to re-elect their senators if they “voted to remove the filibuster rule and pack the Supreme Court” outnumber those saying they would be more likely by a more than 2-to-1 margin.
Mason-Dixon has a well-earned reputation for producing among the most accurate political polls.
The NBC/WSJ poll finds that 56 percent believe the nation is on the wrong track and 82 percent of respondents say the country is divided. So, people are not buying that Biden has brought any “unity.”
Poll participants were asked the following question, “Do you feel President Joe Biden should or should not back a plan proposed by Congressional Democrats to increase the number of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States from nine members to thirteen members?”
A full 65% of respondents said he should not, while just 31% said that he should and 4% weren’t sure. Perhaps it’s no surprise that 95% of Republicans oppose the plan to expand the court, but independents in the survey also resoundingly rejected the idea, with a full 72% saying that the President should not support the court-packing scheme and just 22% saying that he should. And even within Mr. Biden’s party the idea has its share of critics, with a third of Democrats saying he should not back the proposal.
Another big takeaway, according to Fox, is that Americans think that border security is worse under Joe Biden than it was under President Donald Trump by a stark 46-15 percent margin, with 33% thinking it was about the same.
