Abortion.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) says Democrats are missing the point on crime as they overhype their support of abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople actually think the Democrats are more extreme in their eagerness to kill babies than Republicans are in their desire to save babies,\u201d he told The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/exclusive-gop-could-gain-up-to-7-seats-in-senate-50-seats-in-house-gingrich_4814897.html?utm_source=partner&#038;utm_campaign=BonginoReport\">Epoch Times<\/a>. \u201cTheir activists are so intense, and so rabid, and their activists have been giving money, it feels like it\u2019s a good issue for them. But when you go out to the country beyond the hard left of the Democratic Party, it\u2019s in fact, not working for them at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abortion is \u201cnot helping Democrats as much as they think,\u201d Gingrich said.<\/p>\n<p>A Monmouth University <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/reports\/monmouthpoll_us_100322\/\">poll<\/a> this month found inflation is \u201cextremely or very important\u201d for 82% of Americans, but Biden\u2019s approval rating on the issue is just 30%. Crime is second at 72%, but Biden\u2019s handling is 32%. And immigration comes in at 67% for voters, but the president\u2019s approval rating is 31%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats are all over the place when it comes to their key issues. This makes it difficult for the party to create a cohesive messaging strategy to motivate its base. Republicans, on the other hand, just have to hammer away at rising prices and \u2018the wolf is at the door\u2019 to get their voters riled up,\u201d said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA major problem for Democrats is their base messaging doesn\u2019t hold as much appeal for independents as the GOP issue agenda does. Even though truly persuadable independents are a rather small group these days, this small difference can have a major impact given the expectation that congressional control will hinge on a handful of very close contests,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, the Democrats don\u2019t have much to say about their efforts to repair the economy so badly damaged by President Joe Biden, do they?<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
