Nothing has changed this cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/poll-democrats-losing-support-on-main-issues\">reported<\/a> last week, a new poll by The Wall Street Journal found that Democrats and President Joe Biden are losing popularity on many topics voters care most about.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats showed a slight dip in approval on some key points. \u201cA 16-percentage-point Democratic edge on which party would best handle the pandemic was down to 11 points, while a 9-percentage-point lead on education issues was down to 5 points,\u201d The Journal noted.<\/p>\n<p>On the question of which party could best safeguard middle-class families, the parties were essentially tied. The Democrats had a 5-point lead on that question four months ago.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
