Bill de Blasio Gets Only 6 Percent of
the Vote in Brutal New Congressional Poll

Original Article

Posted By: NorthernDog, 5/26/2022 7:04:38 PM

A new WPIX/Emerson College Polling/The Hill poll, published Thursday, shows former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio with only 6 percent after he officially announced a run last Friday for New York’s 10th Congressional District. The poll is particularly bruising given that the former two-term mayor left office only last year and the district is comprised entirely of his former constituents. The poll found that nearly 7 percent of those surveyed support Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY) and 5 percent support New York State Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou. The poll of 500 “very likely Democratic voters” was conducted between May

Comments:

Somewhat misleading since a whopping 77% are undecided. Mondaire Jones is only polling 7% and touts being black and gay as (apparently) his only qualifications.

Bill "Deranged" de Blasio hasn't finished his job of turning NYC into a 100% cesspool. It's only at 95%.

a greater percentage than them both combined don't think "It is Important" that whoever they elect needs to even live in the district.

Washington DC Wants Heavy Truck Owners
to Pay Big $500 Annual Fee

It's no secret that the average new car is awfully heavy. That's because the average new car is usually a crossover, SUV, or pickup truck, and as battery power becomes more prominent, that problem won't be remedied right away. This causes issues on more than a couple of fronts, namely pedestrian safety and infrastructure. Some Washington D.C. council members are looking for a way to mitigate large vehicles' impacts on both by proposing that anyone with a car or truck weighing over 6,000 pounds pay $500 annually. As Bloomberg reports, that's roughly seven times the normal registration fee for, say

Embattled GOP Rep. Liz Cheney is down 30 points in a new survey of her August primary conducted by the Club for Growth, which is backing her opponent. The poll, which provides perhaps the starkest illustration yet of the political peril Cheney faces this year, shows Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman garnering 56 percent of the vote to the incumbent’s 26 percent in the GOP primary. A third Republican got 12 percent support, and just 6 percent are undecided. Hageman was recruited and endorsed by former President Donald Trump in response to Cheney’s vote to impeach him last year alongside nine

Ramos' mother also said that she was unaware that her son had been purchasing the weapons. The teen purchased two AR-15 style rifles

President Biden will sign an executive order on Wednesday requiring new use-of-force rules for federal law enforcement and encouraging local police departments to make similar changes. The measure is the product of months of consultations with police professional groups and reform activists. The executive order is the fallback position for the administration after Congress failed to agree last year on a package of reforms dubbed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Senior administration officials say relatives of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, will be present for the signing. Both Floyd and Taylor died during police action — Floyd while in

As early votes rolled in, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar was in a tight race against his progressive Democratic primary challenger, attorney Jessica Cisneros. In this race for the 28th congressional district, Cuellar, an anti-abortion moderate, held a 52-48% lead over Cisneros as results rolled in. As expected, she dominated the vote in Bexar County, while their mutual home of Webb County returned ballots heavily in favor of the incumbent. This race could become competitive in the fall. On the Republican side, former Senate staffer Cassy Garcia captured a 64-36% lead over activist Sandra Whitten in the Republican primary.

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden's public approval rating fell this week to 36%, the lowest level of his presidency, as Americans suffered from rising inflation, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on Tuesday. The two-day national poll found that 59% of Americans disapprove of Biden's job performance. His overall approval was down six percentage points from 42% last week. Biden's approval rating has been below 50% since August, raising alarms that his Democratic Party is on track to lose control of at least one chamber of Congress in the Nov. 8 midterm election.

AOC has announced plans to ditch her Tesla, weeks after Elon Musk told her to stop flirting with him on Twitter. The Green New Deal-backing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told Bloomberg in an interview Wednesday that she wants to switch to an electronic car that is made domestically by unionized workers. Currently, the only such vehicles she could consider are Ford's huge F-150 Lightning truck, which will be released later this year, or a Chevy Bolt. The Democrat told the network that she purchased her Model 3 in 2020 around the time that the Covid-19 began.
