The Democrats had a 5-point lead on that question four months ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Respondents also provided Democrats with low scores for how they are dealing with inflation and the economy, \u201cwhich 50% cited as the top issue they want the federal government to address,\u201d per the outlet. The conflict in Ukraine was reportedly the second leading issue, with 25% of voters noting it was the most important.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, 63% of voters said they didn\u2019t approve of Biden\u2019s handling\u00a0of increasing prices. \u201cMeanwhile, 47% of voters said Republicans were better able to handle inflation, compared with 30% who preferred Democrats,\u201d the Journal noted.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Journal added that \u201c[m]ore voters said that Republicans had a better plan to improve the economy, 45% to 37%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For pollsters and Democrats, the question now becomes whether voters\u2019 feelings about the current state of the country \u2014 and President Biden\u2019s strategy on key issues \u2014 will impact where they cast their vote in the 2022 midterm elections this fall.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Journal added:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>46% of voters said they would back a Republican candidate for Congress if the election were today, compared with 41% who favored a Democrat, with Republicans gaining support among Black and Hispanic voters since the last Journal poll.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Republicans saw a 5-point advantage in the recent data, contrasted with a 3-point advantage in November.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Black voters reportedly favored a Democrat for Congress by 35 points in the new poll, plummeting from 56 points in November. \u201cSupport for a Republican candidate rose to 27% among Black voters, up from 12% in November,\u201d the Journal added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ukraine also appears to be an important topic on the minds of many Americans, and a place where Biden has gained some favor.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Around 50% of voters said they approved of how Biden has dealt with Russia, contrasted with 44% who said they didn\u2019t approve. \u201cAsked a separate question on their view of how Mr. Biden has handled the crisis in Ukraine, 47% of voters said they approved and 46% disapproved,\u201d the Journal added.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A broad majority of respondents said they were closely watching the situation in Ukraine \u2014 at 89%. And 55% said they were in favor of giving more military assistance to Ukraine, like equipment and weapons. The same amount said they would back putting additional economic sanctions on Russia.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, notably, China was also on the minds of respondents. The Journal reported, \u201c73% of voters said China was the nation\u2019s largest economic threat and 52% said it presented the biggest security threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was also thought of favorably by 65% of voters, whereas only 8% saw him in an unfavorable light.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Journal explained the polling data:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The Wall Street Journal poll was conducted by the firms Impact Research and Fabrizio, Lee &#038; Associates, who surveyed 1,500 respondents, drawn from a list of known, registered voters, from March 2-7.
