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%.”
All these years we have talked about the importance of the 2nd Amendment, but now that we need it we act like there is nothing we can do. Australia is posting video's saying we must keep our second Amendment over all else as they have found out. They are all ready talking about a government overthrow, but gave up their guns.
Go back and read about 20 posts here and listen to the negativity as if the Dems have already won. If you don't want the Dems to stack the deck, go to the polls and film everything and watch for extra dumps of ballots. Call the police and have them witness the illegal actions by the Dems. Last election, they taped paper over the window so no one could see what was going on. They pulled boxes out from under desks and run the same ballots multiple times through the counter. How about volunteer to count the votes? Is it some kind of law that all the vote counters have to be black Democrats?
“but just the way we did that it FELT like Americans were abandoned and it FELT like we just left equipment there.”
Um. Americans, Translators and Service Dogs WERE abandoned!
We left BILLIONS in equipment behind!
THIS right here is the problem: ‘FEELINGS.’ *Rolleyes*
WRT aiding and abetting the D’s, it is nonsensical and:Thanks, it’s the firstration talking I hear it’s very contagious
Voter turn out should out number the dead voters this time.
B&H stink big time damage control to ensue.
Give me a break.. while the legal vote is a red wave.... the count will be a rigged wave
This is an f...ing...this is a criminal illegal government
Ain’t gonna happen.
Dominion says so.
CNN is just letting the Cheating Democrats how many ballots have to be harvested.
