Most people in New Orleans probably know Ron Faucheux as a pollster who appears on TV during state and local elections. Sometimes he writes opinion published in the New Orleans Advocate as he did 1/17/22 with a column titled, "What a difference a year makes." According to his article Biden's first year in office was a failure. He cites several reasons which mimic the talking points of the GOP, Fox News and the noise machine out there who want to see the President fail.
And like the media in general, thought it would be better to go negative in his own opinion instead of writing about the positive accomplishments that took place for the country and its people, which were many. (and will be spelled out in a soon to be commentary in Politidose) Of course, those who follow the political facts and are really nonpartisan understand democrats are much better at governing and have the facts to back it up.
Faucheux statement that democrats in congress botched just about everything they touched comes straight out of the GOP's playbook and as such a partisan statement. The democratic controlled congress passed two of Biden's major legislative priorities, COVID relief and Infrastructure. Biden's Build Back Better legislation lingers but will be passed this year and as Faucheux well knows the democratic controlled U.S. House passed all of Biden's legislation, COVID, Infrastructure, Build Back Better and ever Election Reform legislation.
Faucheux's four stated reasons of his negative article are so aligned with the GOP and the noise machine of so called conservative thought, it leaves no room for the article to be nonpartisan in fact even though he quotes some polling data. And for a Pollster himself, that really says it all.
