Todd said that number, along with the corresponding low number (22%) who believed America was on the right track, could spell a lot of trouble for Democrats going into November\u2019s midterms.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Todd brought out the \u201cmidterm meter\u201d and explained, \u201cSixty-five percent wrong track is a bad number. Seventy-one percent? That\u2019s why it is in the shellacking category.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd went on to explain that presidential approval ratings were often reflected in midterm elections \u2014 and that even an approval rating in the mid-forties could spell disaster for a sitting president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you start dipping below 45%, you\u2019ve got a problem, and you\u2019re gonna have midterms that are in the bad-to-shellacking ratio,\u201d Todd continued. \u201cPresident Biden is at 40. George W. Bush was at 39% in 2006. We know how that turned out. So, you see, that\u2019s also in shellacking territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd also noted a few other details \u2014 such as the fact that district maps might actually be better for Republicans than the projected numbers indicated. \u201cThe bottom line is, generic ballot, if the Democrats are losing, it means they\u2019re gonna get walloped,\u201d Todd explained, noting that all of the numbers taken together pointed to \u201cdangerous territory\u201d for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Todd is not the only one warning that Democrats are looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/cruz-reveals-3-words-that-signal-bloodbath-in-midterms-if-youre-a-democrat-thats-a-real-problem\/\">potentially historic losses<\/a> in 2022 \u2014 and the number of Democrats in Congress who have announced that they planned to retire or not seek reelection appears to coincide with those assessments.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told The Daily Wire this week that the \u201cF*** Joe Biden\u201d chants that have broken out at sporting events across the country signal not \u201ca wave\u201d but a \u201ctsunami\u201d is set to hit Democrats in this fall\u2019s midterm elections as he warns Democrats are facing an all-out \u201cbloodbath.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cruz pointed to the Democrats managing to \u201cscrew up every single issue they\u2019ve touched\u201d \u2014 including Biden\u2019s border crisis, handling of the pandemic, and \u201cdisastrous\u201d foreign policy decisions \u2014 and the skyrocketing inflation rates being felt by consumers across the country. At one point during the interview, Cruz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cruz-rips-biden-our-enemies-know-biden-is-too-weak-to-do-a-damn-thing-about-their-hostile-intentions\">said<\/a>, \u201cBiden\u2019s administration in just a year is already worse than Jimmy Carter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think 2022 is going to be a bloodbath for Democrats,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just going to be a wave, it\u2019s going to be a tsunami. I believe Republicans are going to win the House and we\u2019re going to win the Senate. And I think it will be on the order of magnitude of 1994 or 2010.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
