Second thoughts about voting for Joe Biden

It was well known during the presidential campaign that many Biden voters were happier about voting against Donald Trump than voting for Joe Biden.

A Monmouth University poll taken a couple of weeks after the election found that 57 percent of Biden voters reported being happy with his victory, while 73 percent said they were happy that Trump lost.

So a significant number of them voted more against Trump than for Biden.

A new Fox News poll asked the question, "Are you satisfied with how you voted in the 2020 presidential election, or do you wish you had voted differently?" Ninety-one percent of Biden voters said they were satisfied.

The change they wanted was to get rid of Trump, not elect a new FDR. "The Fox News poll asked,"Do you think Joe Biden's positions on the issues are too liberal, too conservative, or just about right? Back in December, before Biden was sworn in, 36 percent said his positions were too liberal.

The bottom line is the number of voters who believe Biden is too liberal is growing.

Biden is moving on to bigger plans, sometimes described as an effort to "Rebuild America." Which leads to a question: Does America really need to be rebuilt? Biden's agenda, a liberal wish-list of big spending on social services, a government-wide emphasis on "Equity," and even consideration of a plan to pack the Supreme Court, likely goes beyond what many of his voters bargained for.
