With President Biden’s approval rating mired in the 30s and with nearly 80 percent of voters saying the country is heading in the wrong direction, all the ingredients seem to be in place for a Republican sweep in the November midterm elections.
But Democrats and Republicans begin the campaign in a surprisingly close race for control of Congress, according to the first New York Times/Siena College survey of the cycle.
Overall among registered voters, 41 percent said they preferred Democrats to control Congress compared with 40 percent who preferred Republican control.

then they steal....
Laying the ground work for a steal.
Class vs. no class.
yea,
biden has a 32% approval rating and the dems are neck ‘n neck with the republicans in midterm polling.
By the way, Fox has 40-41%...bunch of assclowns.
I believe that like I believe this embarrassing blithering husk of a man got the most votes in history.
Indeed
President Biden’s approval rating mired in the 30s and with nearly 80 percent of voters.
No sane person would vote for members of that party.
A New Yawk Slimes poll. LOL.
True but a lot of people in this country love the idea of a ‘benevolent’ government subsidizing their lives. Its not hard to buy the votes of people like that so in actuality the congressional races could well be tighter than we’d like to believe.
That said, the even if Republicans “win” they have no agenda, no convictions and no courage so there’s little reason to be excited about the prospect of them taking over in November. Trust me, they’ll find a way to squander the advantages of the power.
The article makes no sense. If Joe’s approval is 31% and dems control all branches. And, 0% of respondents say the economy is going in the wrong direction? Isn’t the party in control typically blamed for a bad or good economy?
Look at Richard Baris, Rasmussen, Emerson all have the Rs ahead of the Ds in the generic congressional ballot by 5 to 9 points. This poll is obviously tailored to fit the NY Times message.
80% not 0% (auto correct)
We used to joke that Republican vote had to “exceed the margin of fraud”. After 2020 I wonder if that margin isn’t infinite.
In 2020 the “Red Mirage” narrative popped up sometime in either July or August; they’re laying the groundwork for shenanigans.
Laying the groundwork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To get their desired result, the poll used registered voters instead of LIKELY voters. There’s a huge difference between the two types of polls.
It would be interesting to see the demographic breakdown of this poll.
But I have noticed a few of these lately (like Texas) that show Democrats nearly tied with Republicans.
I have to suspect the pollsters are trying to keep Democrats from being discouraged and staying home by giving them some “hope” of victory.
You can take it to the bank, because of Trump’s endorsements, Pa will lose the senate and governor’s office. We had two better candidates that lost because of Trump. I voted for Trump twice. But he has to keep his hands out of the election. He as to quit talking about the “steal” .
They only have to steal the senate. House is too much work. We have the advantage in off year elections but we don’t use it often enough.
Isn’t it also true the rats poll better in the summer and the Republicans in the fall?
Over all, white college graduates preferred Democratic control of Congress, 57-36. Women propelled Democratic strength among the group, with white college-educated women backing Democrats, 64-30. Democrats barely led among white college-educated men, 46-45.
This is their new base...white college educated lesbians and trans.
