CNN Delivers Devastating Blow to Biden and the Dems’ Dreams for Midterms – Opinion

Joe Biden’s approval rating is only one of the reasons why he is so popular. But, what do Americans think about him?

As we’ve seen, Biden is throwing a tantrum over the fact that his numbers are now lower than those of President Donald Trump–when it’s Trump who is constantly attacked by the media.

A lot of that low rating is tied to inflation, and we’ve seen how horrible the Biden team’s response has been on that. Their response is not competent.

But when you’ve lost CNN, you know you’re in trouble if you’re a Democrat.

One of the few people who doesn’t seem afraid to lay out all the bad facts over there is Harry Enten, their senior data guy. It was amazing that Jake Tapper asked the correct questions about Enten. Together, they produced a devastating takedown of Joe Biden — what Americans think of him when it comes to gas prices and inflation — and what that means for the midterms.

Enten noted that gasoline prices have increased by a percentage in the past midterms. He noted that it was 53 percent over last year — the highest in any midterm cycle since 1994. He then showed the results of the election for the two next highest numbers, 2006 and 2010. These elections saw major gains for opposition parties.

Enten then explained Biden’s job approval on gas prices is 31 percent, with 68 percent disapproval.

“On inflation, it’s 28 percent; with 68 percent disapproving. That is a very, very, very, very, very bad number,” Enten explained, when Americans say that the most urgent issue to them is inflation, at 33 percent–far and away outpacing abortion. If Democrats believed that anti-abortion anger would win the election, then they may need to reconsider.

Enten notes that Republicans are “wisely” focusing on inflation. But what is the Democratic response? Pushing radical social issues, a move which makes Americans all the more convinced that Biden and the Democrats don’t care about how Americans are being crushed by Biden’s policies.

“Tell us more about what happens when voters have this dismal a view of the economy,” Tapper asked. That’s when Enten lowered the boom. He said that 88% thought the economy was either fair or poor, which was the worst result since 2011. 77 percent believed it was worsening. “These are historic numbers,” he declared.

How bad will the red tsunami wipe out Democrats? When 75 percent think the economy is just fair or poor, “The White House lost.” In 2014, they lost 13 seats, in 2010 it was 63 seats, and in 1994, it was 54 seats.

Cook Political Report stated previously that Republicans would pick up 20-35 seats. I think they’re too conservative, and it’s more in line with the wipeouts in 1994 and 2010. But either way, it’s going to be a devastating blow to the hopes and dreams of the Democrats and Joe Biden in November.
