Republicans lead Democrats by 9 points in a generic congressional vote 48%-39% entering the midterm election year, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports polling.
The same poll has President Joe Biden’s approval rating under water, with 58% disapproving his performance since his inauguration a year ago Thursday.
Biden’s slide in 2021 began around the time of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in mid-August, and has continued sharply downward since.
Rasmussen Reports said Tuesday that Democrats held an 8-point advantage just before taking back the majority in the House during the 2018 midterm elections, but that margin slimmed to a statistical dead heat with Republicans leading 46%-45% when the Democrats won their slim House majority, while the GOP retained control of the Senate in that election.
The Rasmussen survey, giving the GOP a 9-point advantage, was conducted with 2,500 likely voters between Jan. 9-13, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
The Hill reported in December that Democrats are worried they will lose their slim House majority and possibly control of the Senate in a red wave this November.
“I’m very confident that we’re going to take back the House,” Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., who represents a suburban swing district near Omaha, told The Hill. “I think that on the key issues right now, all the energy is on our side. And when I look at all the polling data, it matches what I see in the district, voters are concerned about inflation, crime, the border, Afghanistan, and all those issues are in our favor.”
THe only way, that the vast majority of the American people can stop them from ‘destroying our American Democracy and us as the legal free American voters, is to “dump the whole CHEATER Criminal Democrat Party Mob all across our America in the 2022 election and 1savce our America and solve all our problems as voters as well!!!!!! American voters common sense at work again!!!!
