By Dave Workman
Fifty-four percent of likely U.S. voters think the country is “headed down the wrong track,” according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday. Surprisingly, the Rasmussen daily presidential tracking poll still shows Joe Biden gets the nod on job performance by an equal number of survey respondents: 54 percent. Forty-three percent disapprove of Biden’s job performance.
Only 39 percent of Rasmussen poll respondents think the country is headed down the right track, which is still up from where the numbers were a year ago. Last year at this time, Rasmussen recalled, only 34 percent of likely voters thought the country was headed in the right direction.
The survey 2,500 likely voters was conducted by Rasmussen May 16-20, the veteran polling firm reported.
While the report focused on immigration reform and climate change, but hiding in the tall grass are gun control schemes, which could return as an issue as the 2022 midterm election cycle starts gaining momentum.
“A bipartisan drive for a relatively modest tightening of background checks for some gun buyers is at risk of fizzling,” CNN said.
Here to provide more details on this topic is _______________ (one from list below), spokesman from The 2nd Amendment Foundation.
- What is the nature of the gun control schemes?
- How does the Biden agenda do harm to the Second Amendment?
- Will gun control be a major issue in the 2022 midterm elections?
- Where can we find more information?
