Biden a drag on Dem Senate candidates
It’s no secret that Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) has been hit with a wave of bad news over the last couple of months that has rocked his campaign.
President Biden’s low approval ratings are dragging him down big time in a potential match up with likely Republican nominee Herschel Walker, who Warnock has trailed in all but one poll taken to date, including one from a Democrat polling firm.
In addition to that, Warnock is in the middle of a child custody dispute with his ex-wife Oulèye Ndoye, who is “accusing Warnock of neglect of his children and failure to pay for childcare, leaving her ‘financially strapped,'” according to a Free Beacon report. These things are never pleasant to go through, especially if you’re one of the parties involved in the dispute and you also happen to be a candidate for public office.
Unfortunately for Warnock, the woes are only getting worse. Per a new Morning Consult poll taken of voters across the country, Biden is continuing to be a major obstacle for Democrat election/reelection chances in crucial House and Senate races, and is “underwater by double digits” in over 30 states including Georgia....
The pain is particularly acute for Warnock because where Biden’s support has dropped the most is among the crucial independent voting bloc in battleground states like Michigan … and Georgia:
The bleeding has been worst in Michigan, a state Biden won by less than 3 points in 2020, where his net approval rating has dropped by 38 points among independents — larger than the 33-point declines that have pulled him underwater with independents in Georgia and Minnesota.
Younger Democrat voters are also abandoning Biden, a pattern we’ve seen emerge in other recent polls as well....
...
Biden has been saying he thinks the Democrats will pick up two seats this year in the Senate. He apparently is not reading the same polls.
