Summary

First, Joe and Alex talk about presidential approval rating, and how it's a key metric that can indicate what will happen in 2022, and whether the Democrats can actually implement the agenda they want. Thanks to Perry Bacon from 538 for inspiring us on this topic (see article link below). Then, the GOP is in serious danger of its constituency being replaced through demographic changes.

0:00.0	Hey everybody it's Joe Trippy and welcome back to that Trippy show. We came back from a brief hiatus
0:14.4	last week so if you miss that episode we talked a bit about Ohio and the
0:18.6	filibuster don't miss it and thanks for joining us this week.
0:23.0	Alex.
0:24.0	Joe, let's kick right off with talking about a little nugget that people might not be thinking too much about.
0:30.0	And Joe, I want you to tell us why it might not be so little after all.
0:34.0	I'm talking about Biden's approval rating.
0:36.0	Yeah Alex, well Perry Bacon at 538 had a great article.

1:17.8	bipartisan.
1:18.8	Yes, sir, there's trumpees who still oppose those things, but there's a lot of bipartisan support for them.
1:25.3	That's really important that Democrats keep executing that way on things that are not
1:31.2	polarizing. Of course the Republicans on immigration and on other issues are
