MSM Poll: Biden Approval In Competitive States Hits Low 30s, GOP In ‘Historically Strong’ Position For 2022

Democrat President Joe Biden is no longer struggling to swim in competitive states for the upcoming midterms, he is sinking, and sinking fast.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Sunday found that if the midterms were held today, registered voters would vote for Republican candidates for Congress over the Democrat candidates for Congress by a staggering 10-point margin at 51% to 41%. The Washington Post called the findings a “historically strong result for Republicans.”

Overall, Biden’s approval rating is 12 points underwater, with only 41% of registered voters approving of the job that he has done as president while a dominant 53% disapproves of the job that he has done.

Many political pundits have already stated confidently that they believe Democrats will get blown out in the midterms in the House of Representatives, and while the 2022 U.S. Senate map did not look favorable for Republicans at the start of the Biden administration, the poll now suggests that Democrats could be in serious trouble in Senate races in competitive states.

The poll stated:

In these states – Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – Biden’s overall job approval rating is 33 percent, compared with 43 percent elsewhere. On his handling of the pandemic, his approval is 11 points lower than in the rest of the country.

Residents of these states also are less inclined to back their incumbent House member rather than to look around for someone new to support, 19 vs. 28 percent. And registered voters in these states favor Republicans over Democrats for the House by a 23-point margin, 58-35 percent, vs. 7 points, 49-42 percent, in the rest of the country.

“70 percent rate the economy negatively, including 38 percent who say it is in “poor” condition,” The Washington Post added. “About half of Americans overall and political independents blame Biden for fast-rising inflation, and more than 6 in 10 Americans say he has not accomplished much after 10 months in office, including 71 percent of independents.”

The poll also found that Democrats have seen their support among voters diminish significantly for which party voters trust on to handle education. Democrats led Republicans on this issue by 3%, 44% to 41%. The last time that
