According to the survey, 51 percent of Americans say they will vote in the midterm elections, but there is more enthusiasm among Republicans, as 59 percent say they will participate, compared to 55 percent of Democrats who say they will:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The disappointment among Democrats underscores a risk for President Joe Biden. If his party cannot close the enthusiasm gap, its turnout could suffer in November, raising the risk of losing its slim congressional majorities and dooming his legislative agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you have a quarter of your own party conceding that we didn\u2019t get things done and it was mostly our fault, that\u2019s a problem,\u201d said Daron Shaw, an expert on polling and elections at the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps most significantly, Democrats failed to pass Biden\u2019s massive Build Back Better social spending bill, with some, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), deeming it \u201cdead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, however, is remaining optimistic, predicting Democrats will do something \u201cbig\u201d but with a new name.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely, yeah,\u201d Buttigieg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2022\/02\/07\/buttigieg-on-build-back-better-being-pronounced-dead-we-can-do-something-big-with-a-new-name\/\">said<\/a> during an appearance on CNN this month. \u201cLook, we don\u2019t know exactly what the name of it will be, what the vehicle will be, or what all of the pieces will be, but we know that we\u2019ve got to do something to lower costs for Americans, especially when you look at the continued concerns we have around inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats also failed to address student loan debt \u2014 a key issue for far-left progressives. Even first lady Jill Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/07\/jill-biden-disappointed-democrats-could-not-deliver-free-community-college\/\">expressed<\/a> disappointment that Democrats were unable to deliver on free community college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongress hasn\u2019t passed the Build Back Better agenda\u2014yet. And free community college is no longer a part of that,\u201d said during a speech at the Community College National Legislative Summit in Washington, DC, this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew this wouldn\u2019t be easy; Joe has always said that. Still, like you, I was disappointed because\u2014like you\u2014these aren\u2019t just bills or budgets to me. We know what they mean for real people, for our students,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>However, the poll failed to deliver positive news to Biden, as his approval rating remains underwater, standing at 43 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The survey, taken January 31 to February 7, 2022, among 4,404 American adults, has a margin of error of +\/- 1.8 percent.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over one-quarter of Democrats blame their own party for failing to take full advantage of having a majority in the House and Senate \u2014 \u00a0a warning shot to Democrats as &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1308011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1308011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1308011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1308011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1308011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1308011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1308011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
