The Homa Files

Buyer’s remorse is gaining steam.
=============

More specifically, the ABC-Ipsos poll reports:

• Currently, 55% are pessimistic about where the country is headed over the next year, while 45% are optimistic.
• This marks a nearly 20-point decline in optimism from late April, the last time this question was asked. At that time, 64% were optimistic about the year ahead.
• This growing pessimism is happening across all age groups, income levels, educational attainment, and partisan affiliation.
• Optimism among Democrats has declined 18 percentage points since late April (89% to 71%).
• Optimism among independents has declined by 26 percentage points (now 38%, from 64%).
• The optimism-pessimism flip comes as Americans give Biden his lowest approval rating for his handling of the pandemic yet in ABC News/Ipsos polling.
• Overall, slightly more than a third of Americans approve of the way the president is handling crime (39%), immigration and the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border (37%), and gun violence (37%).
• On these three issues, just over one in three independents approve of the job Biden is doing.

Looks like Old Joe’s honeymoon may be over.
