Gloomy landscape for Democrats in midterms as Biden's approval drops to 38% in USA TODAY/Suffolk poll

A year before the 2022 midterm elections, Republicans hold a clear lead on the congressional ballot as President Joe Biden's approval rating sinks to a new low of 38%.

A USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, taken Wednesday through Friday, found that Biden's support cratered among the independent voters who delivered his margin of victory over President Donald Trump one year ago.

Biden and his party are poised for a rebound, advocates argue, after the House passed a $1.2 trillion "hard" infrastructure bill late Friday, sending the signature measure to Biden's desk for his signature. An encouraging economic report released Friday morning showed stronger-than-expected job growth.

Kamala Harris: Liberals saw Harris as a unique champion. Lately, they're disappointed.

That said, the survey illuminates the size of the hole Democrats need to dig out of as they look toward the elections in one year – on Nov. 8, 2022 – that will determine control of Congress and shape the second two years of Biden's term.

At the moment, views of the president have soured.

Among the findings:

• Nearly half of those surveyed, 46%, say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16% of those who voted for him. Independents, by 7-1 (44%-6%), say he's done worse, not better, than they expected.
  
  
• Nearly two-thirds of Americans, 64%, say they don't want Biden to run for a second term in 2024. That includes 28% of Democrats. Opposition to Trump running for another term in 2024 stands at 58%, including 24% of Republicans.
  
  
• Vice President Kamala Harris' approval rating is 28% – even worse than Biden's. The poll shows that 51% disapprove of the job she's doing. One in 5, 21%, are undecided.
  
  
• Americans overwhelmingly support the infrastructure bill Biden is about to sign, but they are split on the more expensive and further-reaching "Build Back Better" act being debated in Congress. Only 1 in 4 say the bill's provisions would help them and their families.
  

If the election were today, those surveyed say, they would vote for their Republican congressional candidate over the Democratic one by 46%-38%, an advantage that would bode well for GOP hopes of gaining a majority in the House and the Senate. In a president's first midterm election, his party usually loses ground, and this time the GOP needs to flip just five seats in the House and one in the Senate to claim control.

They are touting that infrastructure bill as a huge win when for them when it's really not considering the fact that it's a completely stripped down version of the original bill that was proposed.

Here's what I would do

- invite Cardi B and Meg the Stallion to the White House . should buy you a few months

- the migrant Payments: Tell folks you lost a court order and had to settle. You are cleaning Trumps mess. The average person doesnt know this. Go on a full media blitz. should be on the News 24/7. hell, i wouldnt even pay a dime. just keep fighting it for however long as it takes

if Biden pays a single 1 cent.... he's finished.

- wipe out $5k-$10k in student loans via Executive Order

- find a Democrat leader under 70 with charisma

Hate to say it but the democrats might need to false flag some shyt and get some stimulus payments to people if they want to keep winning the elections.

I voted for Biden and I have to say I’ve been disappointed with his ineptitude and overall democratic inaction this year. fukk a reconciliation, get some fukking shyt done.

I would have had Manchin waking up with dead hookers around him asking for my help. have Harris focus on climate change like Gore did. Expand the Supreme Court and actually have some consequences for the treasonists. You get more time in Mississippi for possession of a pound of weed than they are for storming the capital.

stop fukking jogging and eating ice cream on bikes and deliver on your platform! It’s been a year and we are still talking about infrastructure.

with as slow as shyt has been, I don’t see any meaningful legislation coming out of this administration

I still will never vote republican though.
