Reeling from Republican wins in elections earlier this month, Democrats are pounding the pavement ahead of next year's midterm elections.
In a series of ABC News follow-up interviews with poll respondents who were Biden voters but expressed disappointment with the state of the economy.
Judith Steele, a registered Democrat from California, told ABC News she feels the Biden administration did a bad job in preparing for economic woes faced by Americans.
"His administration has been behind the curve in anticipating how bad this was going to get for lower- and middle-class families.
Norman Hall, an 82-year-old Pennsylvania voter who has been a Democrat since he was 21, is trying to stretch his social security checks and doesn't think Biden is doing enough to address the issue.
"All them prices went up, my check disappeared real quick, my social security check.
"I don't know who's to blame for it, but he's not doing anything to help it," he added of Biden.
Hall said he plans to vote for Republicans on his midterm ballot unless he sees Democrats "do things differently."
Tiffany Woods, a community health care worker from St. Louis, told ABC News she typically votes for Democrats and was excited to cast her ballot for Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Since then, though, Cross said she hasn't been impressed with Biden's accomplishments.
Margaret Johnson, a retiree in Georgia, was a lifelong Republican before Trump entered the party. She broke her dedication to the GOP in 2020 -- casting ballots for Biden.
Johnson said that despite her discontent with the GOP, she doesn't think she'll cast a ballot for a Democrat again, including for Warnock when he is up for reelection next year.
"I don't think I would ever vote Democrat again. I really don't think I would," Johnson said.

Some people just have to be hit upside the head with a 2x4 or have their piggy bank completely robbed before they get it. 🤪
Somebody supported these stupid Democrat sons of bitches.
True. Sad part is, I would bet a portion of the supporters you mention have already been dead and voting for years.
These people are all short-bus material.
I’d love to know exactly why Johnson doesn’t like President Trump.
People like this Johnson goofball is why I go nutz when some pundit yaps about how smart the American voter is.
“His administration has been behind the curve in anticipating how bad this was going to get for lower- and middle-class families.”
No, this is exactly what they anticipated and hoped for. All part of the plan.
Sadly, they still haven't caught on.
I agree.
The democrats are, traditionally, the party of the downtrodden, yes?
It behooves them to create more of the poor and downtrodden.
Republicans are, traditionally, the party of the rich, and try to make more of them.
Hey, make sure that 82-year-old knows that he’ll have free childcare!!! That’ll make all the difference in his life!!!
