More polling bad news for Democrats

 Craig Krishishian, Matt Towery:

...

First off, when asked their opinion of Biden’s job performance as President, just 41 percent of Americans approved. Yes, that’s on par with Bush 43 and Jimmy Carter, and it skates near Trumps lower rungs of popularity. What should be alarming for our Democrat friends is that an NPR/Marist poll, conducted in a simultaneous time period, pegged Biden at 42 percent, while our colleagues at the Trafalgar Group had Biden at 40 percent.

And, for what it’s worth, Nate Silver’s 538 rated Trafalgar and Insider Advantage amongst the very select few that got the 2016 Presidential right. Yet there are more lumps of coal for the Democrats this Christmas, as gleaned from our poll: 58 percent of folks between 18 and 39 disapprove of Biden, and shockingly, 60 percent of Independents.

Although our net numbers of minority voters didn’t meet the threshold of “statistical significance,” ( let’s call this a super focus group), 50 percent of African Americans and a stunning 65 percent of Hispanic Americans disapproved. These are figures that should have our Democratic colleagues reaching for the antacid as they would after too much barbecue (we recommend the pink stuff in a bottle). These are the sort of numbers that foretell not just a wave election, but a tsunami—both here in California and across the country.

When 65 percent of the country is experiencing a “negative impact” on their cost of living, you can safely assume that number is pronounced in California, where gas is over 5 bucks a gallon and the commute times are long no matter where you live in this state, from Orange County to the Bay Area.

And let’s of course not forget the high cost of housing here, way more pricey than anywhere else, save Manhattan; just try renting a one-bedroom in Los Angeles for anything less than two grand—you’ll be lucky to find a converted garage.

When over half the country (52 percent) believes that the Democrats are responsible for the rise in violent crime, and when 64 percent think Biden is responsible for the mess at our border, it’s a no-brainer to assume that Californians of all political stripes are suffering. That’s why you see “woke” mayors like London Breed of San Francisco and Governor Gavin Newsom and indeed Nancy Pelosi, all demanding sudden “action” to combat the surge of “snatch-and-grab” crime, murders, and “follow-home” shootings now taking place across this state.

Democrats have earned these bad numbers.  They completely misread the 2020 election and thought they had a mandate for liberalism.  They eeked out a majority and acted like they has a landslide.  Then when it came to actual governing they ignored the real problems and focused on their liberal agenda allowing inflation to run rampant and doing little to nothing to deal with the supply chain problems.  They defunded police in major cities at the behest of Black Lives Matter and crime in black neighborhoods surged.
