Democrats continue to find themselves on the wrong side of almost every issue, from men playing in women’s sports to DEI to sanctuary cities, illegal immigration, and deportation. Despite the fact that the DNC’s finances are in the tank and the money continues to pour into the GOP coffers, Democrat voter registration is cratering, and they apparently have no leader besides the increasingly bizarre California Gov. Gavin Newsom, they don’t seem to have learned a single lesson.

As President Trump has focused on the crime plaguing our cities, the Dems have wailed and whined and said, “How dare he send the National Guard to D.C.? Crime is not a problem!”

Voters, apparently, disagree, at least according to a new AP-NORC poll released Wednesday. The numbers are simple and stark: Americans are fed up with lawlessness in this country.

The poll showed that 81% of Americans agree that crime is a “major issue,” including 96% of Republicans and 68% of Democrats, and 72% of Independents say the same. 

Further, 53% of Americans approve of the methods by which Trump is combating crime. 

President Trump’s approval rating surged 5% in the last month to his best approval rating ever in the AP-NORC poll. The surge coincides with his tough on crime takeover of DC.

Why? Because 81% of Americans think urban crime is a major problem.
