Although Democrats haven’t lost optimism that their general prospects could change by November, they have mostly given up on a bump up for President Biden. Poll after poll in the second half of March indicate he’s received no help from his management of the war, even though most people agree that helping Ukraine, sanctions and staying out of combat are the right policies.
Today, inflation is rated the top issue of concern, and a new NBC poll has Biden’s performance managing inflation 33 percent positive and 63 percent negative. Added to a negative approval rating of 63 points, Republicans ahead in the generic ballot test (4 points) and only 28 percent of the public believing the country is going in the right direction, Democrats are facing unfavorable midterm conditions.
Republican challengers are attacking on inflation, crime, and depending on the area, a mix of social issues, especially related to schools. Democrats are describing infrastructure projects, climate goals and dangers to democracy, but they are avoiding talking about Biden.
