apparently in new polls generic republican/democrat ballots have R at +8 to +15 nationwide; democrats need an estimated minimum a +5 to retain congressional majorities + equal senate, but are down legit -10 . the administration itself has dipped down to almost 30% approval rating in purple states which biden won as well. 2022 & 2024 are going to be utter bloodbaths

What can the dems even do, they cant pass anything now…they will lose seats in 2022 so they can’t pass anything then, they literally can’t do anything.

I mean you can want them to be as progressive as much as possible, they don’t actually have any power to make these changes…

Idk can anyone really trust polls at this point? Theyre always wrong. For example the NJ governors race was ridiculously off. Although ik it resulted in repubs coming out so maybe its a silent majority

Usually polls are flawed because they over-favor certain demographics, and that usually provides a bias factored into them. For example, Fox & Rasmussen over-poll their audiences vs external audiences, resulting in a +R slant; most other polls have the inverse problem, they over-poll (usually) white coastal liberals, hence why for example the 2016 and 2018 polls were so off (this recently happened with Murphy in NJ - polls showed a massive gap over republican challenger but then the election resulted in it being almost 50-50). So if this is showing as a result in polls conducted by media more associated with democrat audiences than republican audiences , its' likely the actual polls are even dire toward democrats.

Apparently the estimated polls for republicans are the highest in modern history, and with inverting the stats (i.e. anti-democrat -> republican approval), would lead to a GOP approval rating over democrats even higher than Bush's approval rating during post-9/11. At the height of the tea party, the GOP has a national +3 generic ballot nationwide polling avergage. this is FIVE TIMES HIGHER.

and these poll numbers come from ABC/WaPo, they aren't coming from Rasmussen or Fox this is unprecedented

democrats really don't have any decent options, they're better off sticking with an 81 year old biden

the fact that no one can think of an even mildly widely popular democrat really says it all about the state of the party rn

I blame bernie running as a dem for president in 2016, that's why we have such a big divide now.
