According to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, “Overall, around three in four Americans approve of how Biden is handling the distribution of coronavirus vaccines (75%) and the response to the virus itself (72%). Sixty percent approve of how Biden is handling the country’s economic recovery.” On the vaccine rollout, even 53 percent of Republicans approve of his performance.

On the economy, 60 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s performance, including 63 percent of independents. And on guns, Biden and the Democrats have a distinct advantage. “By a two-to-one margin, more Americans say enacting new laws to try to reduce gun violence is the higher priority at the moment,” the poll says.

Working hard! Thank you!

Gottheimer’s my rep, no surprise he’d be behind it here in northern NJ. We got killed when they got rid of SALT.

TIL businesses don’t ever use public infrastructure. I guess they all have their own private aquifer and sewage processing facilities, never use public waste management and give all their employees helicopters so as not to tax the public roads.

Replies to that are great

I’ve never seen a business lobby group at any level that deserved to be taken seriously.
