Majority of Voters: President Who Promised to Unite the Country has Instead Divided It

(Austin, TX—September 14, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted September 2nd through September 5th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.

“Joe Biden came into office assuring us that the adults are now back in charge, and that he is the man to unify the country. He has done the exact opposite, and voters see that clearly. Joe Biden is perhaps the most divisive President in U.S. history”, said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “Diving the electorate may work politically in the short-term, but it’s dangerous and crippling for the nation. It’s one thing to attack a candidate who is your political opponent.  It’s wholly different to attack 50% of the electorate and expect that it will not divide the country.  President Biden is uniquely dangerous in his broad attacks on every single American who disagrees with him.  This November, we need leaders who will think about country, not party.”
