    Default America Divided: Voters Blame Biden

    Didn't think it was possible to get more divided then things have gotten in the past few decades, but Joe is that good!

    ---

    America Divided: Voters Blame Biden

    President Joe Biden campaigned last year on a promise to unite Americans, but nearly two-thirds of voters say the country is now more divided.

    A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters believe America has become more divided since the last election. Only 11% think the country is more united than before the election, while 23% say the level of division is about the same. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

    Please sign up for the Rasmussen Reports daily e-mail update (it’s free) or follow us on Facebook. Let us keep you up to date with the latest public opinion news.

    The survey of 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on October 3-4, 2021 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

    I'm guessing the proposed vaccine mandate is a big part of the additional division.

    The vaccine is part of it.

    Trump's abhorrent presidency and personality inflames a solid majority of Americans.

    A solid minority of Americans opposed a black man as president and a multiracial woman as vice-president.

    McConnell wants power for the GOP.

    The Dems are intent on transforming America completely into a social market democracy.

    The USA will be ruled by a permanent one-party government because neither side will back down.

    Trump's Highly-successful first term contrasted with the current state of things inflames ALL of the 70M who voted for Trump while the 50M who voted for Biden sit in happy denial of reality.

    A solid majority of the 50M who voted for biden did-so even through biden's racist comments and harris' racist actions. They voted for them for racist reasons. There is no meaningful nor measurable group of Americans who cares what race the racists are. In fact, no american 'suffers' due to racism today except those of european and asian descent.

    The dems are intent on turning the USA into a colony of the European Union. They are intent on sowing the seeds of civil war with their stupid ideas.

    Voting fraud will continue to ensure democrats maintain some semblance of power; and Republicans will continue to allow democrats to break laws and violate our constitution.

    We should think about voting limits; if a citizen votes for a horrible person more than once, they don't get to vote for 8 years until they a) grow up b) stop voting for idiots.

    Trump was among the best world-leaders in history. He did more to help our nation than any president has probably done to help any nation within the past maybe 75 years. Oh - but he was a meanie to people who hate him! oh no! :-/

If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I have to agree. Many of his policies worked very well. He had that sort of 'unexpected ' like Reagan, which kept big challenges from cropping up abroad. Energy. The boarder, which imo was more the certain enforcement than the wall, but the wall WOULD help now.

    At the same time again imo his rhetoric also caused division along the lines of Obama, though VERY different styles.

    His Rhetoric was used as an excuse for ugly people to be uglier. It truly did no harm. They decided to use his words to excuse their bad behaviour.

    Sure it did, Biden is where he is because of not being Trump.

    Indeed, no. A thousand times no. darin is refusing to realize that Americans in a majority hate Trump. Period. That will not change.

    He wasn't a transformational president. Reagan was transformational, Bush II led for better or worse. trump did neither and is a petulant man-child who owes any legacy he has to McConnell who got the corporate tax cut and judiciary appointments through.

    Right and left. And no, it harmed his chances to be reelected and the Republican's chances to hold the Senate. He had a chance to grow and he either couldn't or didn't want to.

    I am glad mentally retarded people have access to the internet - though I wish you'd use it to learn something.

    His ugly rhetoric led to him receiving the same. Like any right winger, he could not take what he dishes.

    Two can play darin's silly games. He simply can't take what he tries so ineffectually to dish.
