Poll: Mike Pence, Chris Christie Own Worst Favorability Ratings in GOP Field


Only three in ten Republican primary voters hold favorable views of former Vice President Mike Pence, earning him the second-worst rating of any Republican presidential candidate behind former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), according to a national poll.

The Wall Street Journal poll, conducted by Fabrizio, Lee, & Associated and GBAO, found that 63 percent of Republican primary voter respondents see Pence in an unfavorable light, including 36 percent who see him “very unfavorably.” Conversely, only 30 percent hold positive perceptions. In other words, his net rating among GOP voters is -33.
His favorability has dropped considerably since April’s Wall Street Journal poll, when 54 percent of the population saw him positively and 35 percent viewed him negatively. This marks a staggering 52-point swing in the wrong direction in five months’ time.

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), with a net favorability rating of -55 among Republicans, is in even worse shape than Pence. Only 18 percent view Christie in a positive light, while 73 percent disapprove of him.

Former President Donald Trump, the leading GOP candidate by a wide margin, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) hold the strongest net ratings in the field at +52 and +46, respectively. Three in four Republican primary voters find Trump favorable, while just twenty-three percent do not. Similarly, DeSantis is liked by 70 percent of GOP voters and disliked by 24 percent.

The pair topped the field in April, with DeSantis holding a slightly better rating than Trump, but his 84 percent favorability rating from back then has dropped considerably, while his unfavorability registered 15 points less than it does now.

Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) is 28 points above water, with 54 percent having positive perceptions and 28 percent seeing her negatively. Her fellow Palmetto State politician, Sen Tim Scott (R-SC), fares better, with a 64 percent approval rating and a 12 percent unfavorability rating.

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has become the target of his rivals following his ascent in the polls, is liked by 55 percent of the GOP electorate, while just over a quarter of them see him negatively, the poll reveals.

The pollsters sampled 1,500 registered voters from August 24-30, including 600 Republican primary voters. The margin of error is ± 2.5 percentage points.


DAMN, WHODATHUNK?

Nips in the wire.

This shouldn't be any surprise. Chinese nationals have been walking unimpeded across Obiden's open border and have now broken into military bases here in the U.S. claiming to be 'tourists' as they gather sensitive information.

Examples of the gate crashing included instances of Chinese nationals crossing into a missile range in New Mexico and scuba divers swimming near a rocket launch site in Florida.

U.S. officials believe these intrusions are an effort to gauge the security practices at these sensitive sites, and the gate-crashers report back what they learn to the Chinese government, the report added. Gee, 'ya think?

YouTube rural deradicalization subversive

BLUF Per the article linked bellow Revolver News asserts that YouTuber “Beau of the Fifth Column” is a glowie & possibly a Fed asset.

Revolver claims that he was busted on human trafficking charges, in Eastern Europe, a while back and oddly he was able to keep most of his assets with the reason why being sealed.

Apparently this guy is in the “Deradicalization of Rural America” business. And per Revolver, is being supported by Silicon Valley & the ADL.

Wonder how many others are out there in YouTube?

What the Hell is with…

The non-stop posts in The Bear Pit that belong in Bolt Action, Rimfire, Semi-auto, Scattergun?

This place has to be the simplest forum on the Interwebs to navigate. There are big colorful banners everywhere saying what “section” something is.

And the name “bear pit” is really descriptive of a place to come and get mauled! Like… duh. Or do folks all think bears are cuddly things like Yogi who pose for memes now?

So are folks lazy? Stupid? Illiterate? Testing out AI? Assuming that the Bear Pit is full of Glowie bait (hellooo fellow short shotgun enthusiasts!). A massive wave of newbies who don’t take the time to learn about this place before posting? Bored hippies stuck in the desert at Burning Man with their cell phones and new cases of the Clap trying to create gun question art installations in The Bear Pit?

WTF. Not even impugning the quality of folks’ questions. In the right place, they are fine. But in the BP, just a reflection of something new going on. And that something is retarded.

Carry on. Except you folks posting non-stupid shit in the Bear Pit. You all: don’t carry on.

"I Should Have Bought..."

I should have bought an STI Omni several years ago.

I should have bought the CZ TS2 Racing Green when I stumbled upon it early last year.

But noooooooooo... I didn't want to spend the money. And now they're both unobtanium.

I really gotta stop talking myself out of buying firearms I want. I have money set aside to buy a unicorn when I find one, but that's 2x now I've talked myself out of it, not knowing they'd become unicorns. "Oh, I'll just get one later." Yeah, so much for that plan.

What's your "I should have bought..." gun?

Optics WTT - S&B PSR Contract Scope (Illuminated for non-illuminated)

This is extremely specific and I realize the chances are slim, but figured I’d throw this trade offer out on the inter webs.

Through a handful of trades, I ended up with two S&B 5-25 PSR optics with intact markings (QR code, NSN, etc). Both are illuminated and have the tremor 2 reticle. I’m sorting out a couple of clone rifles, and would like to find one of these optics without the illumination knob. It’s a first world problem, but I’d like to run an OPS AWP PSR unimount with the bridge… And to do so I need more room on the main tube. The only requirement I have is that the markings need to be intact. It’s fine if the paint is a bit scuffed up, etc.

I don’t plan to bump the post, but if anyone sees this in the future and is up for a trade / looking for one with illumination give me a shout.
