House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was blasted on Twitter Tuesday for
suggesting that President Biden is underwater in polling because
Americans don’t know what he’s accomplished.
"I think tonight is going to be very important," the San Francisco
Democrat told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell hours before Biden’s State of
the Union address when asked about pessimism about the economy that
has shown up in multiple polls in recent months. "Because for people
to appreciate what the president has done, and working together with
the Congress, they have to know what it is."
BIDEN'S STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH CANNOT HIDE THE CRISES HE CREATED
Pelosi’s comment was widely criticized on Twitter including from a
Twitter account belonging to the Republican National Committee that
said Pelosi was labeling Americans dissatisfied with the president
as "ignorant."
"An elitist millionaire hypocrite, in love with parading her false
virtue, peddling lies to the emotionally fragile lib masses, while
always exempting herself from the negative consequences of policies
she pushes,’ radio host and former CIA analyst Buck Sexton tweeted.
"Pelosi in so many ways is the archetype of a Democrat."
"Democrats, please campaign on the whole ‘Americans are too ignorant
to fully appreciate Biden’ message," Duane Patterson, producer of
the Hugh Hewitt show, tweeted. "In fact, that message is solid
enough to run with through 2024."
"Again the Democrats fall back on the lie they tell themselves that
they’re unpopular only because they haven’t communicated well
enough," Former Trump communications director Tim Murtaugh tweeted.
"In fact, the people are well aware of what Biden has done. And they
see the results of the policies. That’s why Biden is unpopular."
"Go with that message," American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow
Marc Thiessen tweeted.
"So we Americans are all stupid and clueless," former Republican
Congresswoman Nan Hayworth tweeted. "Remember, the Left ALWAYS
projects."
In a statement to Fox News, Pelosi Chief of Staff Drew Hammill said
the RNC's initial Twitter post represented "desperation."
"The RNC’s desperation aside, the Speaker is clearly talking about
the need to highlight the President’s accomplishments," Hammill
said.
Biden is set to deliver his first State of the Union address tonight
a week after a Fox News poll showed that only 31% of voters are
satisfied with the direction the country is heading. Additionally,
58% of the poll’s respondents said that the country is worse off
today than it was at the same time a year ago.
On the economy, 24% of voters say it is in excellent or good shape,
down from 29% earlier in Biden’s term (April 2021). Three times as
many, 76%, say economic conditions are only fair or poor.
On the individual level, 50% feel like they have less money in their
pocket compared to a year ago. Few, 14%, say they have more cash,
while for 36% there’s no difference. Those who feel they’ve been hit hardest include working class Whites (60%), rural voters (58%),
independents (54%), suburban women (52%), and voters with income
under $50K (52%).
In addition, large numbers say higher prices for groceries (77%),
gas (72%), and utilities (70%) are a financial hardship for their
family. A smaller number (57%), though still a majority, call
increasing housing costs a hardship.
And they blame Biden. More than twice as many think the
administration’s actions on inflation are hurting rather than
helping, and nearly two-thirds say Biden is at least somewhat
responsible for rising gas prices.
Those gloomy perceptions have pushed disapproval of Biden’s handling
of the economy to a record 61%. Thirty-seven percent approve.
