Key takeaways

Views of Kevin McCarthy have declined since November among both independents and Republicans. Most Americans also disapprove of how Republicans in Congress are handling their jobs and are hearing more negative information on them this week than previously recorded in Navigator tracking.

After a prolonged Speaker election, sizable majorities believe Republicans are focused on consolidating their power and fighting amongst themselves rather than serving the public.

The least popular tested potential Republican actions are ending the guarantee of Social Security/Medicare, banning books, preventing Medicare from negotiating drug prices, and making it easier to overturn election results.

Investigating the Biden administration and family is not a priority for most Americans, who are more likely to describe Republican investigations as “political stunts” than serious efforts to uncover wrongdoing.

Never any ideas, just bans, reversals and objections…at what point is the entertainment value for media outweighs by the sheer top to bottom damage to the country?

Money media can’t even muster up the courage to call for Santos resignation, sa,e media slobbering for Senator Frankens resignation, remember?

The corporate media enables the mass hypocrisy that covers up all the damaging insanity…it’s not funny anymore, ok!?

From having lives worth living, making our own decisions, exercising our rights. They will stop at nothing until we stop them.

is what they really want. Of course, nothing they pass that's on their agenda list will get past the senate or the veto. I say, let them go right ahead and lose 2024 in a landslide if they want to do this. Because that's exactly where this will lead.
