And a clear majority of independents oppose GOP efforts, currently being launched in states around the country, to restrict or totally ban abortion. The 2022 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Independent voters who said they were more likely to participate in the upcoming midterms as a result of the Roe decision outnumbered Republicans (28 per cent to 20 per cent). Those results may indicate a significant voter enthusiasm gap between Democratic and Republican-leaning voters that could hamstring the GOP’s efforts to win back majorities in the House and Senate, and thereby prevent Joe Biden from passing any significant legislation supported by his party’s base for at least two years.Īnd Democrats weren’t the only ones in the poll more energised to vote. In a CBS News poll released on Sunday, half of Democratic respondents said that Friday’s ruling ending federal abortion protections for every woman in the country made them more likely to participate in the upcoming midterm elections by comparison, the percentage of Republicans who said the same was 30 points lower. It was followed by a basket of issues - from voting policies to health care, education, energy, gun policy and Supreme Court appointments.Īt the bottom of the list of 15 issues were three issues that Democrats think are important and like to talk about but which Republicans regard as much less important - climate change, issues around race and ethnicity, and the coronavirus pandemic.A new poll suggests Republicans may face a backlash from voters in midterm elections this November as a reaction to the overturning of Roe vs Wade by a conservative-dominated Supreme Court. When the Pew Research Center asked registered voters which issues were “very important” to them in casting their midterm vote, the top answer by far was the economy. His image ratings of just 37 percent positive/46 percent negative are not dramatically different from former President Donald Trump’s current image (36 percent positive/50 perfect negative), according to the NBC poll.Īs the Pew Research Center noted in its March 24 report, Biden is now “much more of a motivating factor for Republican than Democratic voters: 71% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters say they think of their vote as being ‘against’ Biden far fewer Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters (46%) view their vote as a vote ‘for’ the president.” Issues Obviously, these are worrisome numbers not only for the White House but also for the Democratic campaign committees focused on 2022.īiden’s personal image isn’t any better than his job performance numbers in the most recent NBC News poll. Watch the results of various Democratic and Republican 2022 primary elections as they set the stage for the coming mid-term elections in November by selecting their candidates to represent the party. When NBC News asked respondents how much confidence they have in Biden’s “ability to respond to the war between Russia and Ukraine and manage this crisis,” only 28 percent said “a great deal” or “quite a bit of confidence,” while 44 percent said “very little confidence.” A clear majority of respondents disapprove of his performance on foreign policy (42 percent approve/51 percent disapprove), the war in Ukraine (41 percent approve/52 percent disapprove), and the economy (33 percent approve/63 percent disapprove). Among registered voters who feel “strongly” about Biden’s performance, only 16 percent approve, while 42 percent disapprove.īiden’s performance ratings on key aspects of his presidency are equally bad - or worse. The president’s job approval stands at a weak 41 percent among registered voters in the NBC News survey, while 54 percent disapprove.
Even worse for the president’s party, they offer little reason to believe that things will improve for Democrats before the November midterm elections.Īfter watching his performance for more than a year and hearing constant Republican attacks, voters seem to have arrived at a conclusion about President Joe Biden that makes it difficult for him to reshape this image. But this week, on Tuesday, Democrats took the lead from Republicans in the RCP average, 44.1 to 43.1, and have not given it up. According to an average of polling data from Real Clear Politics (RCP), most polls show Republicans with a slim lead of 44.3 percent over Democrats, who on. Democrats also last led in the RCP average in early November 2021. ANALYSIS - The recently released March 7-13 Pew Research Center survey and the March 18-22 NBC News poll paint a grim picture for Democrats. Typically, the party of an incumbent president tends to lose seats in the first midterm of their tenure but this year appears to be an atypical one, as this and other polls have shown.
