CNN reporter Chris Cillizza just sounded the alarm about the Dems doomed election prospects in 2022 and beyond after Joe Biden has led the country from debacle to debacle with no end in sight.
Cillizza simply wrote: “This poll should terrify Democrats ahead of 2022,” before breaking down the horrific numbers for Biden from a new Iowa poll.
Yes, Iowa voted for Trump twice but Obama won it and the Dems believe they can be competitive there in both Senate and presidential races. Cillizza says the new polls show that is wishful thinking and worse, these numbers will translate to other key midwest states that Biden or Trump must win in 2024.
According to Cilizza, the poll shows that only ‘31% of Iowans approved of how Joe Biden is handling his duties as president while a whopping 62% disapprove. Biden’s disapproval number is below the lowest ever measured by ace pollster J. Ann Selzer for former presidents Donald Trump (35%) and Barack Obama (36%).
“This is a bad poll for Joe Biden, and it’s playing out in everything that he touches right now,” Selzer said.
There may not be anything Biden can do about it because the images of the debacle in Kabul will haunt Biden.
“The way we exited Afghanistan was pretty sad,” said poll respondent Brad Singleton. “Not the fact that we left Afghanistan, because we probably should have done that a long time ago, but just the way we did that it felt like Americans were abandoned and it felt like we just left equipment there.”
From CNN:
This poll is rightly understood as a blaring red alarm for not just Biden but especially down-ballot Democrats — in Iowa and elsewhere — who will be running in the 2022 midterms.
While Iowa is not the pure swing state that it was in, say, 2000, it remains a place where Democrats can and do win — both in statewide elections and in congressional districts. Democrats, as recently as 2020, controlled three of the state’s four House seats although Republicans won both the first and second districts back last November. And both are considered Democratic re-takeover targets in 2022 — depending, of course, on what the congressional map winds up looking like.
If Biden’s numbers are anywhere close to this bad in other swing states — and districts — Democrats’ hopes of holding onto their very narrow three-seat House majority are somewhere close to nonexistent.
While first term, midterm elections are, historically, very difficult for the president’s party in the House, that trend is made far, far worse if the president’s approval rating is below 50%. As Gallup wrote in 2018:
“In Gallup’s polling history, presidents with job approval ratings below 50% have seen their party lose 37 House seats, on average, in midterm elections. That compares with an average loss of 14 seats when presidents had approval ratings above 50%.”
What’s CNN scared about? They have dominion.
Indeed, the polls are only used to figure out how many votes they need to steal the election by.
Fingers crossed. Never let down your guard. Become Precinct Committeemen and get the right Republicans elected. We can do it. We’ve done it before.
What’s CNN scared about? They have dominion.
Nah, that isn’t how they cheat, only idiots believe in those Q tard threads
They must keep up appearances, with ritualistic allusion to poll results. They are not alarmed.
Evil and backwards isn’t popular? Huh.
Democrats: “Don’t worry, we still run the voting machines. We’ll handle it like we did in 2020”
Democrat, Faux POTUS, Joe Biden and his whole criminal family is Toast...no burnt toast. End of Story....Case closed!!! Biden is truly hated by the overwhelming numbers of the American People!!!
Dominion Voting Systems to the rescue!
Yeah?
So how come almost all the fake news media fake polls had Dementia Joe winning by huge amounts?
And even had Susan Collins losing by over 10% (she actually won).
I wish some of you would stop the childish crap that no elections matter. Do something about it or shut up and vote.
They can’t steal every election and we can’t win every election. There is a fight going on right now over election integrity.
Enough with the childish wise ass comments.
FR needs to stop with this crap.
Dominion was not how it was done. It was done with a virus generating Vote By Mail nationwide that had no signature guarantee, no Voter ID to get ballots and especially no address check so that 100s of ballots could be acquired from PO Boxes and mailed in, pre marked.
THAT IS HOW IT WAS DONE. The software is a red herring and time is wasted on it.
FR would do well putting a stop to CNN articles.
Exactly. And they’re discussing Iowa where Trump won twice.
And the democrats lost House seats.
“Blah blah blah our votes don’t matter” Enough already.
Bingo.
After 2022 Midterms...GOP takes House...
..
I M P E A C H B I D E N !!!
Agreed, the Dominion theories are worse than nonsense. They are a trap created by the adversary to distract us from the real fraud.
As a bonus, the Dominion company will be able to bankrupt a lot of conservatives with their libel suits.
Polls are useless build up to useless elections.
Polls close to an election are used to demoralize conservatives, not to predict results.
