[Breitbart, yeah, I know] President Joe Biden has experienced a tremendous drop in support among the younger demographic — those under the age of 30 — since taking office, a YouGov/Economist survey found.
According to the Economist’s analysis of the data, "Mr Biden’s failure to impress the young now threatens his presidency," as he has lost significant support since January. Currently, just 29 percent of adults under the age of 30 approve of Biden’s job performance, while half disapprove.
"The net rating of -21 points is the worst for any age group," the Economist found. However, his net approval is underwater with other age groups as well. Adults 65 and older give Biden an approval of -8, while those 45 to 64 give him -5. Adults 30 to 45 give Biden a negative rating in the double digits — -17.
Overall, Biden has experienced a -50 point drop-off in support among young Americans since taking office:
Here is my piece on our YouGov/Economist data showing a huge dropoff in support for Biden among young people. The decrease really is quite stunning: -50 points on net approval since January 26th (our first survey of his presidency).https://t.co/x5Ss0aB7sv

Per the Economist:
Why have the young turned on him? Many told YouGov that their biggest concerns were climate change and health care. Here the president has promised much but so far delivered little. Younger Americans also care more about civil rights and abortion—and may be energised by recent Supreme Court rulings on the latter. Others are angry about student-loan debt and Mr Biden’s unfulfilled promise to cancel at least $10,000 owed by every borrower.
Indeed, Biden has failed to act on several of the measures younger Americans prioritize on their list, including student loan relief. Biden is refusing to extend the forbearance period, which former President Trump started last year in the midst of coronavirus mandates and lockdowns.
As Breitbart News reported:
White House press secretary Jen Psaki admitted last week that the president has no plans to extend student loan relief, which began under former President Trump last year due to the Chinese coronavirus and coinciding mandates and restrictions, compromising millions of Americans’ jobs and ability to earn a living. The forbearance period for student loans end January 31, 2022.
"So, in the coming weeks, we will release more details about our plans and will engage directly with federal student loan borrowers to ensure they have the resources they need and are in the appropriate repayment plan," Psaki said during the press briefing, adding that the administration is "making a range of preparations."
On Thursday, Biden admitted his multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better agenda will be delayed due to ongoing negotiations with moderate Democrats.

Magoo is a blob. When his brain was less decrepit, he was a law-and-order centrist, locking up millions as part of Clinton's tough on crime policies. On economics he was the Senatjr from MBNA and helped banks and other Delaware-domicile corporates hold off socialist policies and intrusive regulation.
The only consistency in this clown's political arc comes from lying, grifting and groping maidens.
Nobody with eyes to see and a memory longer than the last five years would ever have expected this scruple-free hack to pursue the Marxist agenda with any vigor or skill or coherence.
It's not surprising, given the garbage education our young people have received in the Woke era, that they had no idea what they were voting for when they elected Magoo.
Kamala Harris on Friday spoke to The Los Angeles Times and discussed the new surge of Covid-19 infections
She said that the US government had been taken by surprise by the emergence of both Delta and Omicron
Harris said that they were unsighted because 'most scientists - upon whose advice and direction we have relied - didn't see Delta coming'
Also on Friday Harris appeared on Charlamagne Tha God's show on Comedy Central, which became heated after the radio host asked her: 'So who's the real president of this country? Is it Joe Manchin or Joe Biden?'
The vice president seemed to blame scientists, and yet other countries were feeling the effects of Delta and Omicron before the US began to act
Scientists have always explained that coronavirus is mutating constantly, and new variants are always likely
Of the five Covid-19 variants designated 'variants of concern' by the World Health Organization (WHO), three were identified before Biden took over
#1
first cases of Delta were reported in 2020 before the Biden-Harris 'team' took over. They were surely briefed on this many times even if it weren't called 'delta' until May 2021.

[Insider] The Biden administration has officially reversed Trump-era relaxations of water conservation standards former President Donald Trump personally pushed for that allowed more gallons of water per minute to flow through showerheads.
Under standards initially set in the 1990s, federal regulations stipulated that all newly manufactured toilets had to use a maximum of 1.6 gallons of water per flush and new showerheads could only use 2.5 gallons of water a minute. Under the Obama administration in 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency tweaked the regulation to also apply that limit to more modern shower fixtures with multiple nozzles.
But when Trump was in office, the EPA relaxed the standard even further to apply the 2.5 gallon limit to each individual nozzle on a showerhead, meaning a showerhead with two nozzles could use five gallons of water per minute.
Because the Trump rule only went into effect a year ago in December 2020, shortly before Trump left office, consumers aren't likely to see much of a difference in their showerheads and water pressure, the Washington Post noted.
[WashingtonExaminer] President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. A latter-day version of Romulus Augustulus, only more friendly to the barbarians at the gates... is moving at twice the pace filing vacancies in federal court than his immediate predecessor during his first year in office, but the Democrat has a long way to go in catching up to Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... 's total first-term number.
With the Senate confirming a raft of judicial nominees late Friday into early Saturday, Biden's 2021 total was brought to 40 federal court nominees confirmed, which is 21 more than the 19 Trump had in 2017.
The confirmations will be the last ones of the year, though the Senate voted to advance the nominations of two other judges, Gabriel Sanchez and Holly Thomas to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, who are set to have their final votes in January.
The last president to have at least 40 judicial nominees confirmed in his first year was Ronald Reagan, who had 41, according to a tweet from Thomas Jipping, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
Despite the head start, Biden is nowhere near Trump's total number. Trump had 234 judges appointed to lifetime tenures across four years, including 54 appellate judges and three Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... judges. Biden has not had an opportunity to nominate any judges to the high court in his first 11 months in office, but he is making headway in diversifying the federal bench.
Whereas Trump had Republicans, led by then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ...Senate minority leader from Kentucky. A politician's politician, Mitch is smarter than he's given credit for, not as smart as he thinks he is. He is married to former education secretary Elaine Chao, whose father has extensive shipping interests, including a company in China, which makes sense since he's Chinese. He is sometimes maligned as Cocaine Mitch because a few million bucks' worth of the drug was once found on one of his father-in-law's ships in Colombia, which is kind of a tenuous assertion, to say the least... , in control of the Senate during his one term, Biden is working with an upper chamber split 50-50 along party lines, with Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge as the tie-breaker.
And if the Democrats lose control of the Senate next November, which looks possible, two years of confirmations will be all they get. Something to ponder when those on the Left get excited.
The Senate also confirmed other sorts of nominees in this final batch of the year, including former reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who was an Obama adviser, to be ambassador to Japan. Roughly 30 senators missed the votes, with the tallies for each one hovering between the high 60s and low 70s.
[Breitbart] Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) on Thursday wrecked President Biden’s hopes of destroying federal election integrity laws, causing Democrats to panic heading into the 2022 midterms.
While Biden on Wednesday was forced to shelve his massive tax and spend package until next year because of Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) opposition, Biden immediately pivoted to enact his second priority of altering election integrity laws, such as doing away with popular voter ID constraints.
“If we can get the congressional voting rights done, we should do it. … There’s nothing domestically more important than voting rights,” Biden said.
But Sinema singlehandedly burst Biden’s desperate attempt to weaken election integrity laws Wednesday evening by stating she will protect the 60-vote filibuster threshold. Fifty Senate votes are needed to trash the filibuster. If the filibuster is terminated, a simple majority vote could be held to destroy election laws.
To lure Sinema into destroying election laws, Democrats have watered down their original H.R.1 proposal. Yet Sinema’s spokesman John LaBombard told Politico she will protect the filibuster’s bipartisan standard and ultimately election integrity.
“She continues to support the Senate’s 60-vote threshold, to protect the country from repeated radical reversals in federal policy which would cement uncertainty, deepen divisions, and further erode Americans’ confidence in our government,” LaBombard said.
Sinema’s spokesman also implied that Sinema may be interested in the watered down “voting rights” proposal if it garnered bipartisan support above the filibuster’s threshold.
“Senator Sinema has asked those who want to weaken or eliminate the filibuster to pass voting rights legislation which she supports if it would be good for our country to do so,” LaBombard said.
Sinema’s position has caused congressional Democrats concern that 2020’s pandemic-centric election laws will not be applied in 2022, such as voting by mail and other weakened measures. Temporary 2020 elections laws reverting back to pre-pandemic rules likely reduce the Democrats’ ability to win elections.
“I don’t want to become too dramatic,” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) told Politico on Thursday, “but voting rights may be the only thing we have to at least halt the trek away from democracy.”
Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) also voiced concerns that if election integrity laws are reinstated before the 2022 midterms, America’s democratic republic will no longer exist.
“I don’t want it to be constrained by trying to do it before the end of the year. I don’t know that you have to do it before the end of the year,” Clyburn told Politico. “I just want us to get a bill done that will help preserve this democracy because if we don’t, I think we’ve lost this democracy.”
Rep. Anthony Brown (D-MD) echoed Clyburn’s urgency. “I want to see Biden start running people in and out of the White House,” Brown said. “I want to start by seeing the president using the full leverage of his office. It’s a crisis in democracy and the president needs to address it.”
MSNBC anchor Al Sharpton warned that if election integrity is not weakened, the Democrat base voters will not vote for Democrats.
“An inaction at this point would lead to an inaction of Black voters. People are saying, ‘If they don’t do this, I’m not voting,’” Sharpton said. “People are saying they feel betrayed.”
