The Latest Polling Will Have Democrats Waking up in Cold Sweats – Opinion

Perhaps spending all that time pushing a “voting rights” bill when every legal voter already has voting rights wasn’t the best strategy for the left? That’s the message of the latest Morning Consult poll, a survey that has, in the past, been very friendly to Democrats.

However, those good vibes have long since passed. The generic vote has trended toward Republicans over the past few years, but these results are a major shift in public opinion. This also tracks perfectly with Gallup’s finding that party affiliation has flip-flopped dramatically.

🚨NEW POLITICO/Morning Consult Poll🚨

Republicans are the dominant party on those issues most important to them.

R’s in Congress are favored over Dems to handle:
The economy (47-74% to 34%)
Jobs (45% – 35%)
Immigration (45%-37%).
National Security (49%-32%)https://t.co/FY70CuJBwK

Remember when Joe Biden’s claim to fame was supposed competence on foreign policy? This was often mentioned as the reason Barack Obama elected him vice-president. Well, to the extent that ridiculous myth still existed, it’s been completely blown up now. Americans have had a year to witness his “expertise” on foreign affairs, and they don’t like what they see.

The most alarming number of jobs is however the one listed. The administration tirelessly promoted the notion that Biden had created the greatest number of jobs during his first year as president. They have put out charts, done countless cable news hits, and had the president (when he’s sentient enough) repeat the mantra in nearly every economic speech.

People who can think critically know the truth. It is not an accomplishment to “create” millions of jobs when the government caused the loss of those jobs by purposefully destroying the economy. A three-legged sloth could have presided over the “job growth” Biden has seen during his term.

However, Americans now know that the truth is worse than it used to be. Had Biden sat in the basement and ate pudding along with the rest of his handlers, we’d have seen Continue reading job growth than we’ve seen because his policies have exacerbated the stagnation in the jobs market.

These failures extend to the entire economy, in which inflation is devastating the middle class. Do you need a vehicle to commute to work? You’ll have to spend a lot of money for this car. You want to invite your friends over for dinner? You better be prepared to spend a full day’s pay. And as to immigration, I’d love to meet the 37% who think Biden is handling the issue better than Republicans could. That’s just insane given the humanitarian crisis that is currently playing out.

This means Democrats might be anticipating a favorable political environment for November, which could make the environment more conducive to 2021 elections. Analysts continue to look for the floor but there doesn’t appear to be one. It’s to the point where we are running out of scary-sounding descriptions of what’s going to happen to Democrats in less than ten months.

Also, keep in mind that the events of 2022 directly affect those of 2024. I’m not speaking specifically of the presidential election but rather the Senate. This is the map of Democrats (i.e. who’s up for reelection) in 2024 is absolutely terrible, and if things go badly enough for them this year, a Republican president could have a super-majority in the Senate by the time 2025 rolls around.

I know that I’m going way out on a limb projecting anything that far out, but unless Democrats change course dramatically, they are looking at a trouncing in November the likes we haven’t seen in generations, and there will be residual effects. It’s hard to imagine how things will get worse, but they undoubtedly will.
