The Wall Street Journal released their latest polling resultsAccording to CNN, nothing about them indicates a Democrat return. Joe Biden’s approval stands at a paltry 42 percent, and unlike past polls, the excuse that the SOTU hasn’t been completely factored in no longer applies. This is Biden’s “bounce,” and it’s anemic if it even exists at all.
Unfortunately for Democrats, Biden’s approval may be the highlight, though. Five percent leads the Republicans on the generic vote, which is historically a significant gap and continues to indicate a red wave in November.
Additionally, the GOP has a lead of nine pointsHispanic voters. That’s essentially unheard of, but tracks with numerous other data points showing Hispanic support moving towards Republicans over the last year. The poll’s other results are not encouraging. Biden is upside down on how he’s handled the Ukraine situation, and a full 50 percent of respondents said inflation was their top issue of concern.
What can Democrats do to stop their descent into insignificance? There is no answer. They are instead working towards an electoral iceberg.
Jaime Harrison, DNC Chair, effectively described the Democrats’ message on inflation in a press conference
1. Putin to Blame
2. Recognize the Biden administration’s efforts in addressing it
3. The Claim Republicans aren’t concerned about the rising price— Zac Weisz (@zac_weisz) March 10, 2022
It is all nonsense. The idea of Putin causing inflation is not supported by the Americans. The inflation number prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine stood at 7.5 percent in January of 2022. The latest data showed that inflation was 7.9 percent on Thursday. Everyone that’s been buying groceries, energy, used cars, etc. For the greater part of one year, everyone has been experiencing the Biden inflation boom. None of them are going to accept that an invasion that didn’t occur until February of 2022 is actually at fault.
As to the notion of promoting what Biden is doing to address inflation, the problem there is that he’s not actually doing anything to address inflation. Instead, he just keeps mumbling “Build Back Better” over and over, citing his massive spending bill that would only drive inflation higher. In terms of gas prices, the president won’t lift a finger for Americans suffering from high fuel costs. The administration seems to be pushing for stricter regulations in the supply chain instead of trying alleviate bottlenecks.
Lastly, the idea that Democrats can make November’s election a referendum on Republicans is laughable. It’s the kind of thing you’d expect someone to come up with after they just drank a Redbull and did a line of coke. The history of the first midterm elections is already disastrous for the party currently in power. Couple that with the fact that the world is in total collapse under the current Democrat leadership, and you can reasonably speculate that saying “but Republicans” is not going to work this time around.
There are certain things Democrats can do to improve their fortunes. They could remove all restrictions from oil and gas leases, and immediately approve Keystone XL. They could request Russia and Iran to increase their oil and gas leases and fix the relations with our Arab allies. This would lower prices for gas and improve the situation within Ukraine. They could quit spending like drunken sailors to allow inflation slow down. They could stop screaming at the Florida ban on grooming small children.
They aren’t going to do any of that, though. They will continue driving towards the cliff, whether they believe it or not. It is a sight you love.
