I really DO hope that Biden runs and isn’t “forced out” either before the end of his term or during the Primary. Especially with this kind of polling data:
“Biden’s job approval is above water in only five states“
In contrast, Civiqs delivers demographics by the barrel, and … few of them give Biden or Democrats in general any reason to celebrate. The split among independents is actually worse in this poll, 26/63, for a gap of thirty-seven points rather than thirteen among indies. Unlike other recent polling, Biden’s ahead with Hispanics but only 50/39, and only 65% of black voters approve of his job performance. Biden is underwater in almost every other Civiqs demo, even among 18-34YOs (29/55!), post-graduates (42/49), and even women (41/48). For the first time in a long while, a consensus has formed between college graduates (37/55) and non-college graduates (36/55).
I can’t believe that the White House Admin hasn’t called in the “mop-up crew” from the John Wick trilogy to clean up the bloodletting from the political experts deciding it’s all over (see the pull quote, above).
Again, we’re just about 11 months out from the 2022 elections but if this holds true, the Dems are in for some really hard times in the upcoming election. An eternity but that stench is starting to waft all over.
This post from Hot Air is chockablock full of fun data if you’re not a Democrat. Writing this according to Conan’s “…lamentations of their women” outlook, this is GREAT news as NH gets a mention. Our own Maggie “The Red” Hassan must be pulling her hair out (I DO know that her endless email missives are getting more and more desperate lately) as this is gonna hurt:
Let’s take a look at Biden’s standing where key Senate races will take place in November:
- Arizona, Mark Kelly (D) defending: 36/57
- Colorado, Cory Gardner (R) defending: 41/50
- Georgia, Raphael Warnock (D) defending: 30/59
- Nevada, Catherine Cortez Masto (D) defending: 37/54
- New Hampshire, Maggie Hassan (D) defending: 43/50
- North Carolina, Richard Burr (R) retiring: 35/57
- Ohio, Rob Portman (R) retiring: 30/61
- Pennsylvania, Pat Toomey (R) retiring: 39/54
- Wisconsin, Ron Johnson (R) maybe defending: 38/54
And this is the view from a progressive polling outfit.
Seven points underwater here in NH, Biden is. The problem, though, is that the Republicans still only have one announced candidate to face her: retired SpecOps General Don Bolduc. While a lot of names have been popping up, not one of them has officially announced that they’re running.
Opportunity lost?
While it seems that the General has certainly upped his campaign game this second time around, it’s almost like the Republicans don’t care much.
I recall when John E Sununu was the US Senator and I was writing way back then that Jeanne Shaheen had already started her air campaign in defining herself and John E – and nary a word from him (I took a lot of grief from doing so but in the end, I was right and they were wrong: too lazy and too late lost him his seat).
So it will be amusing on both fronts – how much worse can Biden (and Toes Up Kamala – it’s a statistical tie between the two of them) get and when is any other NH Republican actually going to have the stones to saunter up to the starting line?
To which I dryly note, Maggie left that starting line a long time ago.
