Indeed, it\u2019s only the second time the GOP has held a statistically significant advantage (the other was +7 points in January 2002) and the ninth time it\u2019s held any numerical edge at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Independents, who are often considered the swing vote in elections, would support the GOP candidate by a 50-32 percent margin. This is notable considering they voted +12 points for the Democratic Party in the 2018 elections, which were the most recent midterm election. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/14\/ted-cruz-inflation-gas-lines-1970s-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Feels Like Joe Biden Is Jimmy Carter\u2019: Ted Cruz Says \u2018Skyrocketing Inflation\u2019 And \u2018Gas Lines\u2019 Make It Feel Like The 1970s Again)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.019801980198\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">New WaPo poll: Biden approval sinks to 38% (new low), GOP leads in generic ballot by TEN points (51 to 41) among registered voters. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/teNHqtoTsR\">https:\/\/t.co\/teNHqtoTsR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomBevanRCP\/status\/1459839221737439235?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The same poll also shows widespread economic anxiety among Americans.
