Ugly: Biden Approval Drops 6 Points in Latest Emerson Poll (GOP up 5pts House generic)
Election Central ^ | 10/21/2022 | Nate Ashworth

Someone should tell Joe he’s going the wrong way. Not just from the podium again, but with his approval rating less than three weeks from Election Day.

The latest numbers from Emerson College Polling are disastrous for Democrats and speak to just how poorly their messaging has been in the closing month of the campaign. Whatever happened to August when Dems had recaptured the lead, Biden was awesome, and the midterms were going to be a massive BLUE WAVE if anything. Those days have been gone for a while because, quite frankly, they were a mirage.

Overall, quite a bummer at the White House this morning with falling approval, surging GOP support, and stories in mainstream media outlets wondering why Biden’s not doing any big campaign events:

The October Emerson College Polling national survey finds President Joe Biden with a 53% disapproval rating, and 39% approval. This reflects a six percentage point drop in Biden’s approval since last month, and a four percentage point increase in the president’s disapproval.

Those numbers basically erased all the gains Biden made since May when he previously bottomed out at 38% approval. Overall, the end message from voters is one of distrust, lack of confidence, and a feeling that the President has lost touch with the reality his policies have created.

As voters now stare down skyrocketing heating bills as we begin entering the cold months of Fall, Biden’s failed energy policy just keeps the hits coming.

It’s not just Biden’s approval suffering as it appears House Democrats are going down with the ship:

On the generic congressional ballot, 46% of voters plan to support the Republican candidate and 41% the Democratic candidate. Since last month, congressional Republicans have increased their support by one percentage point, and Democrats have lost four percentage points.

“Among those who say they are ‘almost certain’ they will vote this November, congressional Republicans lead by ten percentage points, 51% to 41%. Among those who say they will only ‘probably’ vote, Democrats lead by eleven percentage points, 45% to 34%,” Kimball noted.

Kimball added, “Regionally, congressional Republicans have a 12-point lead in both the Midwest and South. In the West, congressional Democrats have a 10-point lead; however, Democrats lead by just one percentage point in the Northeast.”

The majority (66%) of US voters think the United States is headed on the wrong track, while 34% think it is headed in the right direction.

That steep five-point advantage for Republicans would send their House victory margin well into thirty seats or more territory, a total wipeout. Can it be true that voters are even more dispirited with Biden’s policies today than they were six or eight months ago? It’s starting to look like as more and more voters tune in, the end result will be less kind for Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden on election night.

This is not the way the numbers should be going if one would be expecting any of Biden’s closing arguments to make a dent in crucial House or Senate races. Voters are deciding and the verdict is not trending in Biden’s direction.

No, that’s beautiful.

What’s ugly is the guy in the Emerson Poll.

Emerson is usually a reliable leftist mouthpiece.

That means that the actual situation for the secular, socialist cabal is extremely dire.

What will it take to KEEP it that way over the next years and decades?

It’s not poor messaging really. It’s their terrible performance. There isn’t enough lipstick to make this pig look pretty.

The earlier fake polling (rising for Dems) is finally starting to get adjusted downward to get closer to the real numbers just before the election. Its all a game intended to manipulate the folks.

The poll is still garbage. They are just trying to get a bit closer to reality of the democracy suppository Democrats are going to receive.

Worth noting Emerson is very rat biased.

I doubt they approve of Biden. They just really hate Republicans and conservatives. Some of them also really hate whites, Christians, and traditional families (which are associated with voting Republican).

Rigged balloting machines will make up for it.

Ding Ding Ding! Winner.

The fake push polls have to move back to something at least remotely resembling reality right before the election so they don’t blow all credibility for the future.

Someone should wake up the morons who approve of Biden. Never mind… those are the ones gaming the welfare state.

What do you mean, “ugly”? It’s a beautiful thing and a result of much prayer.
