Poll: GOP Has Record Advantage Heading Into Midterms

The Democrats are dead in the water.

It is not exactly news around here. We saw how the 2021 elections went for them. At this point, the Democrats have virtually no chance of holding the House in the 2022 midterms. They are going to have a bad year. The real question is how shattering will their defeat be in the 2022 midterms. How large will the GOP majority be in the House? Will the GOP take the Senate too?

Take a look at this.

ABC News:

“Republican congressional candidates currently hold their largest lead in midterm election vote preferences in ABC News/Washington Post polls dating back 40 years, underscoring profound challenges for Democrats hoping to retain their slim majorities in Congress next year.

While a year is a lifetime in politics, the Democratic Party’s difficulties are deep; they include soaring economic discontent, a president who’s fallen 12 percentage points underwater in job approval and a broad sense that the party is out of touch with the concerns of most Americans — 62% say so. …”

This is the ABC News/Washington Post poll.

If memory serves, this has been for the longest time one of the worst polls for Trump and Republicans. It had Biden winning Wisconsin by 17 points on the eve of the 2020 election.
