America, meet the voters who hold the country's future in their hands
/More Democrats say Biden is ‘better’ than George Washington
In a poll sparked by New York City’s move to tear down statues of George Washington and Christoper Columbus, more Democrats believe that 81-year-old Biden is a better president than America’s first chief executive.
In its latest survey shared with [Washington Examiner] Secrets, Rasmussen Reports asked, “Is Joe Biden a better president than Washington or a worse president than Washington? Or is there not much difference between Washington and Biden?”
Thirty-nine percent of Democrats said “better,” 25% said “worse,” 20% said “not much difference,” and 16% said “not sure.”
Across the aisle, 12% of Republicans said “better,” 75% said “worse,” 9% said “not much difference,” and just 4% said “not sure.”
Rasmussen also found that 40% of Democrats approve of removing memorials to Washington, 21% “strongly.” Some 55% of Democrats disapprove.
By comparison, 78% of Republicans and 70% of independents disapprove of dismantling statues.
Just as frightening in its own way is the fact that 25% of Republicans believe Biden is better, no worse, or simply haven’t heard of the the latter. Our education establishment has done its work thoroughly and well.
UPDATE:
Breaking down the electorate by income categories, those in the highest bracket – earning more than $200,000 a year – are most likely to say Biden is a better president than Washington, and most likely to approve of removing monuments to Washington.
