So a new NPR poll and very liberal NPR, you know that.

Democrat 34% Republican 28, so it's not an accurate poll.

But they say, do you approve or disapprove of the job Joe Biden's doing?

Approved 41, disapprove 55.

But in the independence, listen to this.

This is, again, from NPR, approved 29, disapproved 66%.

That's it.

If that holds, I mean, that's it for the Democrats, because independence now are the

deciders in the national elections.

And now, Joe Manchin, the Democrat from West Virginia, the senator,

dealt a huge blow to the Biden administration when he said, look, I can't vote for the bill back better bill.

So I'm not going to, and it kills it because there's not one Republican senator even close

for voting for that. And the reason is it's just so expensive. And nobody knows where the money's

going to go. And there's a lot of Green New Deal stuff. It's foggy. And, you know, the Democrats

say, oh, it's only $2 trillion, and they already passed a $1.2 trillion

infrastructure bill, and inflation's rising at the fastest pace ever.

And so anybody with a modicum of common sense goes, you know, we can't do this.

And then Mr. Biden says, oh, it's already paid for. No, it's not. I mean,

he has to raise taxes on corporations and affluent Americans, which of course is going to

inhibit commerce. Every time you raise taxes on corporations, they pass it along to the consumer.

It really knows this.

So anyway, Manchin says, I'm not voting for it.
