Right now, the United States is in the middle of an unfortunate, yet preventable, crime surge. In Democrat-controlled cities like Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, and others, lawlessness is on a rampage. Rape, murder, carjackings, and other crimes are increasing at rampant rates; it's worth noting that all of this is happening on President Joe Biden's watch.

The present, aforementioned crime surges stem from Democrats talking about and following through on defunding the police. Not only has this engendered the rise of crime, but it's also led to a 91% increase on attacks against officers this year, per the National Fraternal Order of Police.

When Biden got into office, he promised on Inauguration Day to be a president for all Americans. However, a new poll shows that nearly five in ten Americans do not approve of how the Democrat president is responding to crime spikes across the nation.

President Biden's response to crime and more

Biden's only reaction to crime increases happening across the country is to push for more gun control. This president has not once acknowledged the documented correlation between the defunding of police and the rise of lawlessness.

Now, a new poll from Washington Post/ABC News shows that 48% of Americans do not agree with the approach that Biden is taking. Conversely, only 38% of Americans stated they approve of President Biden's response to crime.

The numbers get even more interesting when assessing viewpoints about responding to crime surges with more gun control. A grand 53% of Americans claimed that heavier gun control would not drive down crime; only 51% stated that current gun laws should face heavier enforcement.

It also turns out that most Americans (55%) recognize that boosting funds for police departments across the country will drive down crime.

Six months into Biden's America

Biden has been in office for coming up on six months now; there's quite a bit to show for the Biden presidency, but not in a good way.

Crime is up in Biden's America, as are the costs of living. Since Biden assumed the presidency, the United States has also faced multiple cyberattacks against our fuel and meat supplies.

Meanwhile, the Southern border remains in shambles; Republican-run states are now having to do the job of the federal government to fix the mess Biden created.
