You Know It’s Bad When Joe Biden Is Underwater in Deep Blue California

Joe Biden’s approval rating is underwater in forty-six states, including liberal strongholds such as California, New York, Massachusetts and Biden’s home state of Delaware. Even in the four states where Biden isn’t underwater, his approval rating does not reach 50 percent.

National Review: The poll makes brutal reading for the president, and, if it is even close to accurate (in presidential elections, Civiqs’s polls tend to skew toward the Democrats), then there is almost nothing that he will be able to do to prevent his party from a disastrous midterm showing. Among independents, his approve-disapprove rating is 22-67. Among Republicans, it is 2-96. Among Democrats, it is 72-13. There is no age group that approves of him (he is most unpopular among 18-34 year-olds, with a 26-59 approve-disapprove). There is no education level that approves of him, with even postgraduates disapproving 39-51. And, while he does better with women (39-50) than men (29-64), neither seem to like him much. As for Hispanics, the slide continues apace; Biden is at 43-45.

Polls and election results in Virginia, New Jersey, and San Francisco have Democrats panicked about losing their slim majorities in Congress. In battleground states, Joe Biden is deeply unpopular and could drag vulnerable liberal lawmakers down with him.

National Review: The news is terrible [for Democrats ] in key 2022 states such as Arizona (-29), Colorado (-17), Georgia (-18), Nevada (-23), Ohio (-30), Pennsylvania (-21), New Hampshire (-10), Texas (-34), and Florida (-24).

Bottom Line: Joe Biden’s terrible poll numbers and voter backlash to school closures, woke politics, oppressive Covid restrictions and runaway inflation could cost Democrats their narrow majorities in the House and Senate this fall.
