Democrats in Congress are as unpopular as Biden

 Ed Morrissey:

Oh my: Democrat support for Pelosi/Schumer-led Congress crashes by over half

...

 And the worst news for Democrats is that Gallup conducted the poll from January 3-16. In other words, it doesn’t include Schumer’s self-immolation on the filibuster on Wednesday night. Anyone want to guess what that number would look like now? It probably would be below 20%, and might still be if Democrats don’t start producing some achievements before the next iteration of the survey in a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, don’t ignore the independents’ curve here too, which is less dramatic but perhaps even more threatening:

While independents’ approval of Congress rose modestly at the beginning of 2021, it only hit a high of 35% in April before declining. It was subsequently mired between 21% and 28% until this month when it fell five points to 17%.

Looking at the chart, Democrats have thrown away all of the gains they made with independents since the election. Most of the disaffected Democrats will likely stick with them, although they may be a lot less than enthusiastic about getting out to vote in the midterms. Independent voters will look for opportunities for change, especially in congressional leadership, and that will mean voting for the GOP in November.

...

The Democrats acted like they had a huge mandate fr liberalism when they had the slimmest of majorities.  They were pushing programs a majority of voters thought were crazy and they could not get a significant number of Republicans on board to push them across the finish line.  That is good news for the country, but bad news for Democrat "leadership."
