An old Ronald Reagan adage can explain one of the factors behind the red wave in the midterms.
“I didn’t leave the party, the party left me,” said The Gipper.
This sentiment was shared by many Democrat voters at the time. They felt that their party had left them and favored more leftism. This sentiment would sweep former actor into the highest office.

It seems we’re seeing history repeat itself. President Joe Biden’s popularity is falling drastically and there are no signs of it stopping. He and the Democrats are responsible for this with their repeated failures in every area of foreign policy, as well as the economy. The Democrat Party prefers to embrace extreme solutions and position rather than taking common-sense steps for improving the country.
These positions are so bad that Biden’s recent drop in the polls is helped along quite a bit from within his own party according to Fox News:
The poll, published by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public research, shows that only 39% of adults in the United States approve of Biden’s performance as president.
Only 2 out 10 Americans think the U.S. economy is moving in the right direction, a drop of 3 percent from a month ago. Those drops were concentrated among Democrats, with just 33% within the president’s party saying the country is headed in the right direction, down from 49% in April.
Biden’s overall approval among Democrats sits at 73% which represents a drop from 82% in the same poll last year. Biden has not fallen below 82% approval from Democrats in 2021.
Last year, this approval rating was at 63 percent, meaning he’s experienced a 24 percent drop in approval over a very short amount of time.
Fox News reported this isn’t the only drop either. When it comes to his decisions on the economy, only a small minority believe he’s actually done anything good, and that too is a sinking number:
Additionally, only 18% of Americans say that Biden’s policies have helped more than they have hurt the economy, which is down from 24% in March. Meanwhile, 51% of Americans say his policies have hurt more than they have helped with 30% saying he hasn’t made a difference one way or the other.
This poll comes on the heels of another showing that Biden’s support is decreasing among the Hispanic community.

He is taking with him his fellow Democrats, and the current leader of the Democrat Party. The midterm elections look like a disaster for Democrats, despite the fact that they have done everything possible to stem the bleeding but not the right things.
