Have at it, Trump supporting screech monkeys.
Biden's approval jumps 8 point after state of the union

After what's been a bleak several months politically for President Biden, a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey finds he is seeing a significant boost in his approval ratings across the board following his State of the Union address and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"This is an unusual bounce," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll. "It gets him back to where he was pre-Afghanistan."
Here's a look at some of the numbers:
Overall approval rating jumped to 47%, up 8 points from the NPR poll last month. Presidents don't generally see much, if any bounce, out of a State of the Union address.
Since 1978, there had only been six times when a president saw an approval rating improve 4 points or more following State of the Union addresses, according to the pollsters. Three of those bounces were for former President Bill Clinton.
Ukraine handling is up 18 points to 52%;
Coronavirus pandemic handling is now 55%, up 8 points; and
Economic handling up 8 points to 45%.
U.S. employers added 678,000 jobs in February

Job growth accelerated last month, as falling coronavirus cases brought customers back to businesses and workers back to the office.
U.S. employers added 678,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday. The gain topped economists’ forecasts for a second straight month, after employers in January shrugged off a spike in coronavirus cases and kept hiring workers. The unemployment rate in February fell to 3.8 percent.
The data was collected in mid-February, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which roiled global financial markets and caused a sharp increase in energy prices.
Analysts say the United States is less vulnerable than Europe to the economic effects of the crisis, but warn that a prolonged conflict will have global repercussions that are hard to predict.
But so far, at least, the labor market recovery has overcome every obstacle. Job openings are near a record high. Layoffs are at an all-time low. And hiring has remained strong in the ebb and flow of successive waves of the pandemic — employers have added at least 400,000 jobs every month since May, the longest such streak on record.
