Since August, when the debacle in Afghanistan ripped away the veil and enabled many to see the real Joe Biden — not through an approving media filter — we’ve seen a cratering of his approval across the board on all major issues. Media may have been able to spin up until that point but once Americans saw how incompetent he was, how he lied about everything, and most importantly, left Americans and Afghan allies behind — many of whom are still there — it wasn’t something they could unsee and it opened many eyes about the “experience” of Joe Biden.
That may be behind the reason that some long-time Democrats in Congress — like Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) — are choosing now to pack it in. Yes, it is important to celebrate Leahy’s departure from the Senate, where he had been an afflict us since 1974. About the same amount of time that we’ve had to put up with Joe Biden. It’s long since time that they both go into retirement.
Additionally, just found out today that a big buddy of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is going to retire — Rep. Jackie Spier (D-CA). Up to 15 people have already retired, and there will be more announcements in the New Year.
The polls show the public’s perception of Republicans and Democrats.
It is not good news for Democratic prospects in the midterms. The polls have already been historic.

Rasmussen Reports’ latest survey found that likely voters prefer Republicans to Democrats by 13 points (51%-38%). According to the survey, Democrats were preferred over Republicans by younger voters as well as blacks, Democrats and Liberals.
There is a gap of 20 points between independents and Republicans who would prefer a generic Republican to a generic Democrat, a difference of 48%-26%.
While the questioning is a bit different in the new Rasmussen survey than in past years, the gap is apparently historic and even stronger because the latest survey offered the alternatives of “some other candidate” and “not sure,” said the polling outfit.
Our polling showed that Americans prefer Republicans to Democrats, here and here.
A survey by the National Republican Campaign Committee also supported this.
“Among these economy-focused voters, a generic Republican leads a generic Democrat by a 2:1 margin (58%-29%). When it comes to border security, Republicans hold an astonishing 83-point advantage, 87% Republican to 4% Democrat,” said the memo, posted below.
What does this mean for the midterms, you ask? Newt, who is probably more knowledgeable than any other person about how to win the House back after his wave win in 1994, makes bold predictions about the potential outcomes of recent elections. Gingrich thinks the Republicans can pick up between 40 to 70 House seats and at most four Senate seats.
Gingrich said:
“I believe an immediate, consistent, and effective Republican application of the lessons of 2021 could lead to a 40- to 70-seat gain in the House; at least a four-seat gain in the Senate; and gains in governorships, state legislatures, and local offices including school boards next year.”
With a large group of people they are able to do this and lessen the Biden team’s damage. Indeed, it’s truly vital, especially after we see the trajectory along the radical path and government seizure of power Democrats have taken over the past year. This is an encouraging assessment of the possibility that we can retake Congress and that we may be able to do so with a historical wave that might help it remain for a while.
