Biden’s agenda continues to be popular

Biden’s popularity has dipped but the bipartisan infrastructure plan and the reconciliation bill are still popular.

CBS News poll:

88% of Americans support federal funding for lowering prescription drug prices

84% support federal funding for Medicare coverage for dental/eye/hearing

73% support federal funding for paid family/medical leave

67% support federal funding for universal pre-K

This is why this legislative fight is so different than the last several administrations. This is the worst single poll for D’s overall all year — like catastrophically bad — and their agenda is still outright popular in it with little sign of real backlash. https://t.co/BAg9e1l4N2

The majority supports keeping Roe v. Wade

That won’t stop the Republican Supreme Court from killing it. The majority also disagrees with the Court on the terrible Texas law. Republicans don’t care if their policies are popular.

The Roe versus Wade decision has guided abortion law in the United States since 1973. Would you like to see the Supreme Court revisit that decision or leave it as is?

Bad CNN tweet on who is vaccinated.

Republicans are the problem. Romney’s statement is cowardly and should be challenged. The media really gets me angry. They’re afraid Republicans will say they’re biased.

This is a bad "both sides" take and should be challenged. The Democratic team has a much higher vaccination rate than the Republican team. Republicans have politicized this. https://t.co/g1snBUykI1

Mask and vaccination mandates and polls

Right wing Republicans are out of step with the public but insist on imposing their will anyway. Get vaccinated and wear a mask when appropriate.

Mask mandates are popular – you would never know it from social media or watching TV

The media just focuses on what looks dramatic on TV. Normal people behaving responsibly is boring. Republican governors like Ducey, Abbott and DeSantis are just trying to score points with the Trump cult.
