But when you ask people what about the specifics of the administration\u2019s policy, namely, should we be sending armed forces, 70% say no. That\u2019s the president\u2019s policy. Should we provide weapons? 72% say yes. That\u2019s the president\u2019s policy. Enforce the no-fly zone, 52%, small majority, say no. That\u2019s the president\u2019s policy. So, there is a contradiction, what do we make of all this?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Brooks responded, \u201cMy view is, if you asked the American people, what do you think of President Biden\u2019s policy toward beautiful sunsets? 85% of the American people will say, no, I really disapprove of President Biden\u2019s policy toward beautiful sunsets. We live in a partisan era. When you attach the name Biden or Trump or Republican or Democrat to anything, you get instant opposition. So, it\u2019s nothing more than a measure of partisanship. The question is, if we were really in trouble\u2026we get to another step in this war, could we unify? After 9\/11, if I\u2019m remembering this correctly, George W. Bush\u2019s approval rating was like 92%. It was something insanely high. Could we ever imagine that again? It\u2019s very hard to imagine that. And that means we\u2019re just not as resilient a country as we were when you could get beyond party labels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s \u201cPBS NewsHour,\u201d\u00a0New York Times\u00a0columnist David Brooks stated that President Joe Biden\u2019s poor approval numbers on his handling of Ukraine are a reflection of partisanship and \u201cwe\u2019re just not<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1402245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1402245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1402245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1402245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1402245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1402245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1402245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
