The vast majority of Americans, when asked if they agree with the statement “There are two genders, male and female,&#8221; said they agree, a new poll has found.
The latest Rasmussen Reports <a href="https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/most_americans_oppose_transgender_agenda">survey</a> said 71% of likely voters believe that there are just two genders (although this <a href="https://www.sexualdiversity.org/edu/1111.php#:~:text=Below%20are%20107%20gender%20identities,to%20change%20at%20any%20time.)">website</a> says there are 107 genders, including &#8220;tumtum&#8221; and &#8220;fa&#8217;afafine&#8221;). In a surprise, 67% of Democrats agreed — only 14% of Democrats strongly disagreed with the statement.
What&#8217;s more, 57% of all polled strongly disagree with those who say there are more than two genders, said the pollster.
The poll findings come in the midst of Pride Month and as companies across the country, like Anheuser-Busch and Target, kowtow to the LGBTQ+ community. But that has backfired, as sales of Bud Light have <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/bud-light-sales-down-nearly-30-compared-2022-partnership-transgender-influencer">tanked</a> 30% when compared to the same time period last year since the beer brand joined forces with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Target, which launched another Pride Collection this year, has been hit with protests and a boycott and has lost $13 billion in market value over the past two weeks.
It&#8217;s bizarre that this is even a debate. Think about the science. You&#8217;re born either a boy or a girl. That&#8217;s a fact. Sure, once you&#8217;re on the planet, you can do whatever you want, pick one of those 107 genders. But you were born male or female, there&#8217;s just no getting around that.
The survey also found that majorities of Americans support laws that ban hormone replacement therapy and sex changes for people under 18 years old.
“Several states have recently enacted legislation prohibiting transgender treatment for minors. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Americans approve of legislation making it illegal to perform sex-change surgery on minors,” the poll analysis said.
“Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Americans approve of laws making it illegal to give hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to minors,&#8221; the pollsters said.
Even a majority of Democrats agreed that people younger than 18 should not have access to sex-change treatments, the poll found. And nearly three in four U.S. voters (74%) oppose allowing schools or teachers to counsel children on sexual identity without parental consent.
That finding mirrors what&#8217;s already going on in America. At least 18 states have laws or policies on the books that restrict transgender treatments for minors.
But Democrats and President Joe Biden find the laws an affront to democracy.

“I’ve met a lot of parents of trans kids in the past couple of months who have told me these devastating stories, whether they’re in Texas or Oklahoma or wherever they are, saying how they now have to seriously consider leaving their state to protect their child,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in May. “That’s something that we have to call out and continue to be very clear about. These are kids. These are our kids. They belong to all of us.”
Mark Mitchell, head pollster at Rasmussen, said the backlash against companies pushing Pride could be driving state restrictions on transgender treatments for children and the growing opposition among Americans. “That would be pretty ironic if their little publicity stunt is what essentially caused a massive 13-point swing in support in favor of laws banning transgender treatment,&#8221; he said.

A new survey by Rasmussen Reports and The National Pulse found that 54% of likely voters think Biden will be remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history.
The <a href="https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/questions/questions/january_2022/questions_best_worst_president_january_30_31_2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> of 1,000 likely voters conducted January 30-31 found only 15% believe Biden will rank in history as one of America’s best presidents. Another 25% think his presidency will be remembered as about average.
When the same question was asked concerning former President Donald Trump, 43% agreed he would be remembered as one of the worst presidents in history. The same question regarding former President Barack Obama received 33% agreement.

Even among Democrats, slightly more ranked Biden the worst at 28% over the best, at 27%.
The study did not speculate regarding reasons for the rankings, though Biden has been frequently criticized regarding inflation, gas prices, the border crisis, response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the nation&#8217;s military withdrawal from Afghanistan, among other issues.
A new <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/389309/americans-offer-gloomy-state-nation-report.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gallup poll</a>, also released on Wednesday, revealed Americans&#8217; satisfaction with a variety of areas of the nation. The poll found strong dissatisfaction among Americans across a wide variety of areas.
&#8220;In fact, in only one area &#8212; acceptance of gays and lesbians &#8212; are more Americans satisfied now than were in 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic,&#8221; the study noted.
&#8220;Sixty-four percent of the people surveyed in January said they were dissatisfied with the economy, including about 1 in 3 who said they were &#8216;very dissatisfied&#8217; with the country’s situation. The numbers are the worst since January 2014,&#8221; the Washington Examiner noted.

The statements have done little to settle the concerns of many Americans who view Biden&#8217;s presidency much differently.
The latest findings followed a survey last week by Rasmussen Reports that revealed 50% of likely voters think Biden should be impeached from office after just one year as president.
The question asked, “Some Republicans in Congress have endorsed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden, citing his immigration policy and his failure in Afghanistan, among other reasons. Do you support or oppose impeaching President Biden?”

“But what I believe we should focus on is conducting oversight and making sure that we’re passing legislation to secure the border once and for all,” she added. “The policies of the previous administration under President Trump were working.”
Stefanik’s remark came in reaction to Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) opening the door to the possibility of impeaching Biden, noting there are “multiple grounds to consider” on the matter, foremost the chaos at the southern border.
“If we take the House, which I said is overwhelmingly likely, then I think we will see serious investigations of the Biden administration,” Cruz said on an episode of “<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/030JakQMatQTMOIkwVx2cQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://open.spotify.com/show/030JakQMatQTMOIkwVx2cQ&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1641397577970000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3W2vo_aceXwfnu2Ye0fk8e">Verdict with Ted Cruz</a>,” <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/588143-cruz-gop-will-have-multiple-grounds-to-consider-for-biden-impeachment-if-it">according</a> to The Hill.

&#8220;President Biden continues to disregard his constitutional duties and boundaries.

Poll: 50% Of Likely Voters Support Biden’s Impeachment

Afghanistan

Impeachment

A Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey taken this month revealed an astonishing number of Democrats surveyed were perfectly comfortable sending Americans who were not vaccinated to “designated facilities or locations.”
When asked, “Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a proposal to limit the spread of the coronavirus by having federal or state governments require that citizens temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine?” Forty-five percent of Democrats answered they favored such an idea. Among all voters surveyed, 71% opposed the idea; 78% of Republicans and 64% of unaffiliated voters said they would “strongly oppose” such an idea.
Additionally, although 66% of likely voters would oppose government using digital devices to track unvaccinated people to ensure that they were quarantined or socially distancing from others, 47% of Democrats approved of the idea.
Nearly half (48%) of Democrats favored federal and state government having the capacity to levy fines or imprisonment on people who publicly questioned the efficacy of vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. Only 27% of voters agreed, including 14% of Republicans and 18% of unaffiliated voters.
A whopping 59% of Democrats favored a government policy that required citizens remained confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refused to get the COVID vaccine. 61% of all voters opposed that, including a huge 79% of Republicans and 71% of unaffiliated voters.
Most frighteningly, 29% of Democrats favored temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if the parents refused to get the COVID vaccine. Only 7% of Republicans and 11% of unaffiliated voters agreed.
Forty-eight percent of voters viewed Dr. Anthony Fauci unfavorably; 45% viewed him favorably.

Chris Talgo, senior editor and research fellow at The Heartland Institute, explained, “After two excruciatingly long years, likely voters are beginning to question the federal government’s handling of the pandemic. First and foremost, likely voters are beginning to sour on Dr. Anthony Fauci, who seems to have lost credibility after countless flip-flops.”
“Moreover, almost half of likely voters oppose President Biden’s vaccine mandates, which seem less about stopping the spread of COVID-19 and more about increasing the power of the federal government,” he continued. “When asked about several other potential strategies, such as fining those who refuse to get vaccinated, the consensus among likely voters is that the federal government should do less, not more.”
This week, the <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/editorial/2022/01/15/utah-leaders-have/">Salt Lake City Tribune </a>suggested that the National Guard keep people in their homes if they were unvaccinated for COVID-19, writing:
<blockquote>Were Utah a truly civilized place, the governor’s next move would be to find a way to mandate the kind of mass vaccination campaign we should have launched a year ago, going as far as to deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere.</blockquote>

INSANE: Poll Shows 45% Of Dems Approve Sending Unvaccinated To ‘Designated Facilities’

A new survey conducted by <a href="http://v">Rasmussen Reports</a> found that a whopping 55% of respondents felt Vice President Kamala Harris was not qualified to be president.
The national telephone and online survey asked, “How qualified is Kamala Harris to assume the responsibilities of the presidency?”
“Only 43% of Likely U.S. Voters think Harris is qualified to assume the duties of the presidency, including 29% who think she is Very Qualified. That’s down from April, when 49% said Harris was qualified to become president.  Now, 55% say Harris is not qualified to assume the duties of the presidency, including 47% who say she is Not At All Qualified,” Rasmussen wrote.
“Harris has not held a public event since last week, when she cut short a meeting with CEOs to discuss the Biden administration’s childcare proposals in order to receive an intelligence briefing about Afghanistan. Since then, she has taken part in at least four briefings with President Biden and his national security team, but has confined her public statements about Afghanistan to Twitter and did not appear at Biden’s side when he attempted to defend the withdrawal in remarks from the White House East Room Monday,” the <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/08/19/kamala-harris-tanking-in-poll-as-she-goes-to-ground-on-afghan-withdrawal/">New York Post</a> noted.
Back in April, Harris <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/kamala-bragged-she-was-last-person-in-the-room-when-biden-decided-to-leave-afghanistan/">bragged</a> that she was the “last person in the room” when President Biden had to make “big decisions,” including Biden’s decision to pull American troops out of Afghanistan by September 11.
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union with” CNN’s Dana Bash, Harris preceded her remarks about Afghanistan by boasting, “When Joe Biden asked me to join him on the ticket, he did so with a sense of intentionality, of purpose, knowing that he and I may have very different life experiences, but we also have the same values and operate from the same principles. But it was something that I know he was very intentional about in terms of asking me to run with him and to serve with him, which is that I will bring a perspective that will contribute to the overall decisions that we make.”
“He and I are in almost every meeting together, have made almost every decision together,” she continued, later adding, “So, yes, I carry a great, great sense of responsibility, if not the seriousness of the responsibility, to be in this position and be a voice for those who have not traditionally been in the room.” 
Bash commented, “President Biden always said that he wants you to be the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions, just as he was for President Obama.”
“Yes,” Harris agreed.
“He just made a really big decision: Afghanistan,” Bash noted.
“Yes,” Harris reiterated.
“Were you the last person in the room?” Bash asked.
“Yes,” Harris repeated.
“And you feel comfortable?” Bash inquired.
“I do,” Harris stated, then gushed, “And I&#8217;m going to add to that. This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage. He is someone who I have seen over and over again make decisions based on what he truly believes — based on his years of doing this work and studying these issues, what he truly believes is the right thing to do.”
“And I&#8217;m going to tell you something about him,” Harris continued. “He is acutely aware that it may not be politically popular or advantageous for him personally. It&#8217;s really something to see. And I wish that the American public could see sometimes what I see, because, ultimately &#8212; and the decision always rests with him, but I have seen him over and over again make decisions based exactly on what he believes is right, regardless of what maybe the political people tell him is in his best selfish interest.”

New Survey: 55% Think Kamala Not Qualified To Be President

Kamala Harris

According to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, for the first time President Trump is leading Joe Biden among respondents, and Trump’s approval rating has surged to tie his highest percentage this year.
Rasmussen conducts a weekly survey, and this week Trump garnered 47% of respondents’ votes while Biden obtained 46%. Additionally, Trump’s approval rating rose to 52%, as the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/git-r-done-trump-overtakes-biden-47-46-hits-52-approval">Washington Examiner</a> reported.
Rasmussen Reports stated, “President Trump has now edged to a one-point lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the latest Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey. While statistically insignificant, it’s the first time Trump has been ahead … The race has narrowed over the past two weeks. Biden had a two-point lead last week, but that survey also marked the first time Trump had edged above 45% over the past two-and-a-half months. Prior to this week, Biden has bested Trump in every weekly survey since White House Watch began at the beginning of July.&#8221;
“Rasmussen, which called Hillary Clinton’s margin of popular vote win in 2016 accurately, did not oversample Democrats like many other pollsters do. Of its likely voter count, 37% were Democrats, 33% were Republican, and 30% were independent,” the Examiner noted.
Rasmussen added, &#8220;Trump shows surprising strength among other minority voters, suggesting perhaps that he is attracting Hispanic support as violent racial protests continue in many major cities.”
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/los-angeles-angels-owner-its-very-necessary-to-vote-for-president-trump">The Daily Wire</a> has noted:
<blockquote>On Sunday, The Washington Post reported that Latino Democrats are worried about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s Latino support, writing:
Top Latino Democrats are voicing growing concern about Joe Biden’s campaign, warning that lackluster efforts to win the support of their community could have devastating consequences in the November election. Recent polls showing President Trump’s inroads with Latinos have set off a fresh round of frustration and finger-pointing among Democrats, confirming problems some say have simmered for months.
Fernand Amandi, a Miami-based Democratic pollster, told the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-appeals-to-florida-latinos-as-polls-show-trump-gaining-11600171592">Wall Street Journal</a>, “What’s clear is the Trump campaign has taken the Hispanic vote more seriously and has out-hustled the Biden campaign. Democrats continue to stubbornly think you can parachute into Florida weeks or months before an election and still be able to contend with the permanent Republican campaign machinery.”</blockquote>
On Tuesday, Biden compared Trump to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, whose murderous regime spanned decades, saying in a Univision Orlando interview, &#8220;Trump has more in common with Castro than with Churchill. Look who he admires. He admires Putin, he admires Xi, he admires everyone who behaves in an authoritarian way. I am the exact opposite. I have faith in the democratic system.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-compares-donald-trump-to-fidel-castro-in-bid-to-win-florida-latino-vote">The Daily Wire</a> pointed out on Wednesday, “There&#8217;s a problem with Biden mentioning Castro: the Obama Administration, where Biden was second-in-command, took great pains to normalize relations with the Communist country. The Trump administration rolled back those changes, reinstituted sanctions and cut off increased economic activity between the United States and Cuba.&#8221;

In the latest <a href="https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2020/white_house_watch_jul15">weekly White House Watch survey</a> conducted by Rasmussen Reports, President Trump, who trailed former Vice President Joe Biden by 10 points in last week’s survey, has narrowed the deficit to just three points.
Rasmussen reported, “The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds the likely Democratic presidential nominee earning 47% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Trump’s 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate. Four percent (4%) are undecided.”
In the latest White House Watch survey, Trump garnered 79% of the Republican vote; Biden got 76% of Democrats.  Among Independent voters, Biden scored 44% of the vote, Trump 38%; last week Biden’s lead among Independents was 12 points.
RealClearPolitics showed figures after the smoke had cleared from the 2016 presidential election that Rasmussen Reports was the <a href="https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/rasmussen_reports_calls_it_right">second most accurate</a> poll out of 11 major polls RCP selected regarding the presidential final results, only one of which (IBD/TIPP Tracking) predicted a Trump victory. Rasmussen predicted an extremely narrow victory for Hillary Clinton, prognosticating that she would win the popular vote by 1.7%; she won by 2%.
While Rasmussen has a sanguine view about Trump’s current position, Quinnipiac has precisely the opposite perspective. On Wednesday, Quinnipiac reported that Biden had soared to a 15-point lead over Trump, 52%-37%, virtually double the lead Biden had in a Quinnipiac poll last month, when he held an eight-point advantage. Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-down-15-points-biden-national-poll">stated,</a> “[T]here’s still 16 weeks until Election Day, but this is a very unpleasant real time look at what the future could be for President Trump. There is no upside, no silver lining, no encouraging trend hidden somewhere in this survey for the president.”
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-down-15-points-biden-national-poll">Fox News</a> noted, “An average of the latest national polls in the 2020 presidential race compiled by <a href="http://i/">RealClearPolitics </a>indicates Biden with an 8.1 point lead over Trump. More importantly, Biden enjoys single digit advantages over the president in an average of the most recent polls in many of the key battleground states where the general election will be won.”
1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, who at one point had a mammoth 17-point advantage over George H. W. Bush according to a Newsweek/Gallup poll, told the <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/07/03/opinion/dukakis-has-some-advice-biden-dont-take-those-polls-seriously/">Boston Globe</a> earlier this month that Biden should not grow overconfident if polls suggest he has a huge lead, He stated, “Particularly this year, [polls] should be studied cautiously. Biden can and should win, but being at 50, no matter how weak your opponent is, is no guarantee of success.” Newsweek/Gallup was not the only poll showing Dukakis with a huge advantage; three other polls that also stated Dukakis was leading Bush by double-digit numbers.
In August 2016, <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/trump-clinton-polls-mike-dukakis-led-george-bush-by-17-points/">The Wrap</a> warned, &#8220;But anyone thinking Hillary Clinton will cruise to a crushing win might want to look back eight more years, to 1988. About this time 28 years ago, Massachusetts Gov. Mike Dukakis had what appeared to be an insurmountable lead over then-Vice President George H. W. Bush.&#8221;
