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%.”
Dont worry CNN, the Dems have it covered, what do you think is the reason why Biden is importing over 2 million illegals into this country and shipping them to red states..
Go ahead and believe in this worthless system as the country collapses around you. Put your your tooth under your pillow while your at it. But bullies like you don’t get the whole floor, ace. And tell us what to do besides voting and running for school boards. “Do something, you say.” Let’s play by the rules and get our asses kicked some more. And you can shut up too. People like you are in this mess.
Well a few thoughts:
You can only secretly cheat to steal an election if it is close. Otherwise, when you cheat, it will be known and there will be widespread rebellion.
As Newton explained for every action (By Biden) there is an equal and opposite reaction (by Independent and Republican voters), which should be no surprise to Democrats, especially progressive Democrats.
I can’t wait to watch the impeachment hearings and investigations after the next House of Representatives is seated.
it would if they didn’t control the vote counts.
Just theater. Who cares what the polls say or even who actually votes. Nothing to fear when you control who and/or what counts the votes.

felt like???
Some interesting news from Virginia, too. Latest poll shows governor’s race tight, but Republican Glenn Youngkin has a 12-point lead over former governor Terry McAuliffe among independents. You don’t win being that far down with “swing” voters.
Having said that, never underestimate the Dims’ ability to discover tons of ballots late in the evening in Fairfax County....
Red wave my ass, R is done as anything but a democrat subsidiary which they’ve been a long while. Stick the fork.
May as well contribute to the D and receive some quid pro joe too. Maybe?
Let all the blue areas report first.
Then wait an hour.
Then post the votes from the red areas.
That way, the dems can’t haul in voters to counteract the red vote.
The fake news fake polls had Dementia Joe beating President Trump long before “close to the elections". The fake polls want to demoralize conservatives and reduce conservative turn out yes, but that failed woefully at that. President Trump got over 10 million more votes in 2020 than he got in 2016, even after all the Trump ballots that the Dems destroyed.
The other purpose of the fake polls was to facilitate massive Dem ballot fraud. They won't find that easy in 2022 either, thanks to tough new election laws passed by Republican state legislatures.
Nonsense.
What makes you think Dems will control who counts the elections that matter come 2022?
Let all the blue areas report first.
Then wait an hour.
Then post the votes from the red areas.
That way, the dems can’t haul in voters to counteract the red vote.
Now that’s what I’m talking about!!!
The ole Virginia steal game plan thwart!
Now let’s get it implemented.
Democrats hopes are slim to none
And Slim just left town.
The GOP will take the House, it’s important that the 40+ are good solid MAGA conservatives. I also think that things will be so bad that the GOP will also retake the Senate by at least a one seat pickup.
Lol bullies like me, followed by an idiotic rant.
Do something or shut up with all the “They count the votes boo hoo we can’t win”.
Plus it’s not the answer to every single story posted about every single election.
Let’s hope because it’s my understanding going into the election that the senate is tough for us.
“What’s CNN scared about? They have dominion.”

I do not think they are scared.... not one bit, are they really scared.
While they have Dominion running in ANY state, they have control over the elections.
And, they know that........
We have had several periods of complete Republican control of Congress, and some of a Republican President AND control of Congress, and any honest person here would certainly say that the period 1994-2021 has been a period of relentless national decline and failure.
It’s not the Democrats. It’s the Republicans that are the problem.
