Suffolk poll shows Biden approval rating rising to highs. Suggesting that voters may be taking a big picture view of entire presidency after his retirement has been announced. Overall, there is much to appreciate. Under Biden administration, US has best economic recovery of any country after pandemic. No recession. Great jobs growth. Taming of inflation. More consumer confidence. Stock market gains. Increase in small business startups. Climbing incomes. Growing household wealth. Manufacturing coming home from overseas. Infrastructure being built. Violent crime rate at 50 years low. Illegal border crossings are lower than at end of 2020. Future historians are likely to be kind to Biden.

Statistic in Bill Clinton's DNC speech confirmed by fact checker
RS -
Former President Bill Clinton used part of his speech at the DNC to hit back at the notion that Republican presidents were better on the economy than Democratic presidents. In particular, Clinton pointed to the record of job creation since the end of the Cold War under both Republican and Democratic presidents.
"You’re going to have a hard time believing this, but so help me, I triple-checked it,” Clinton said. “Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. I swear I checked this three times. Even I couldn’t believe it! What’s the score? Democrats 50, Republicans one.”
Washington Post fact checker Philip Bump decided to fact check Clinton's claim and found that it was 100 percent correct!
"There have been six presidents since 1989, three from each party," wrote Bump. "Under the three Democrats — Clinton, Obama and Biden — there was a cumulative increase of 50 million more people working between the starts of their terms and the ends. Under the three Republicans — George H.W. Bush, G W. Bush and Donald Trump — the cumulative total was, in fact, only 1 million."

OF course they will! They already are!
Biden entered the presidential rankings rated 19th in one prestigious survey of presidential scholars and then earlier this year a different national survey ranked him #14!
That same survey ranked trump DEAD LAST

Republicans Reject Another Trump Economic Proposal
Trump's pitches to working-class voters — including capping credit card interest rates — aren't convincing members of his own party!
HUFFPOST -
WASHINGTON ? Republican lawmakers panned Trump’s promise to cap credit card interest rates at around 10% if he returns to the White House, saying it would harm Americans’ access to credit.
It’s only the latest campaign pitch from Trump to get a cool reception on Capitol Hill, including: - his promise to make in vitro fertilization treatments free, and - his pledge to bring back a controversial deduction for state and local taxes.

“Credit card companies that are forced to cut interest rates by 10% are going to be equally then forced to not issue credit to a lot of people,” said Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer (N.D.), a member of the Senate Banking Committee
“If you want to work with the industry and find different ways to make it available to people, while also keeping interest rates lower, great. But yeah, mandating a cap doesn’t seem like a great idea,” he added.

As the Steele dossier asserts, Putin holds compromising evidence and trump is scared and compromised. Trump's "plan" to end the Russia-Ukraine war, by cutting off military aid and getting Ukraine to give Russia what it wants, which will include a stronger foothold in the area. Our European allies are not happy right now, knowing that Trump, the weakest presidential candidate, ever, who's excitedly awaiting the opportunity to surrender any & all to Putin,
@joe pockets
Precisely. That is how the convicted felon would so called "end the war in Europe" - appease an international terrorist by giving in to all their demands including territory.
That type of ignorant thinking is no doubt a part of why 154 presidential experts rank him the WORST president in US history by far!

Detroit police chief gives Trump's crime claims a reality check
RS - "Detroit has experienced a dramatic drop in murders, shootings and other violent crime in recent years, according to city, state and federal statistics," per NBC News' reporting.
"After surging during the pandemic, rates of violent crime have dropped back to where they were in 2019, the numbers show — dramatically lower than they were 10 and 20 years ago!
Detroit had 252 homicides last year, the lowest number since 1966."
More trump lies . . .

People of other countries seem worried and surprised that polls show Trump and Harris are so close in election. Obvious to many that Trump is a bad president tolerated by US allies. Under Biden administration, international respect for US has improved.

True. The racist, rapist, fraud, twice-impeached CONVICTED FELON is officially ranked as the worst president in US history, even much lower than G W

Immigrants have been accused for the increase of crime since our country was born. They are easy scapegoats. Chinese, Irish, Italian, Mexican & Muslims have all been falsely accused of bringing crime to the US.
In fact, immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than native born Americans & when they are incarcerated in most cases it's because they violated our immigration laws. Don't buy into the fear factor spread by the Right.
Just another reason why trump the racist is ranked dead last by experts.
