Pres. Biden said crime isn't 'a red or blue issue —l it's an American issue.' What do Americans think?
But while most Republicans polled said they disapprove of the Biden administration's work on crime, some said they support his efforts.Marc Morial, center, president of the National Urban League, talks with reporters outside the West Wing of the White House in Washington, July 8, 2021, following a meeting with President Joe Biden and leadership of top civil rights organizations.
Sandra Buchanan, a Republican from Mississippi, said she approves of Biden's handling of crime because"I think he's doing a good job on everything he's doing" and feels that crime isn't the fault of the president but of individuals. "I just think, if someone's at the point where they're committing a crime" or in a similar high-stakes situation, they won't be talked out of it by a social worker, said David Patton, a voter from Connecticut.
She said she was a psychiatric nurse for six years, and focused on individuals with mental illness in the community at times, adding,"We do not have the resources for these people so they can live."
