Sorry, Joe! Midterm Elections Are a Referendum on White House Performance

…Or maybe a lot of people will notice, in which case, Dems will be sorry.

Yet most likely, the real lesson of 2022 is that the daily media splish-splash will prove less important to the electoral outcome than the deep currents of public opinion, driven by big nationwide concerns. That’s a takeaway from a new FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos survey, which finds that a whopping 52 percent of Americans count inflation as the most important issue facing the country. Indeed, the public deems rising prices to be almost twice as important as any other issue.

What’s also undeniable is that the current inflation rate, 8.3 percent, is six timeshigher than it was when former president Donald Trump left office—and so Democrats have a big problem.

To be sure, the top Democrat, Joe Biden, blames everyone but himself for the price-surge, but as a far better Democratic president, Harry Truman, always maintained, “The buck stops here.” That is, whatever happens, good or bad, is on the commander-in-chief. Nobody makes you take that job, but if you get it, expect to be held to account, because buck-passing won’t work. And we can add that the c-in-c’s political party, too, is at risk of being, uh, bucked.

All this helps explain another poll, taken by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, that leaked on May 18; Punchbowl News had the scoop: “In battleground districts, the generic Republican is beating the generic Democrat, 47-39.” As the poll further detailed, most voters “want a Republican in Congress to provide a check on Biden, rather than a Democrat to help pass Biden and Pelosi’s agenda.”

There’s an underlying logic here: Just as voters are holding Biden accountable for the inflation rate, so, too, they are determined to elect men and women who will check the president’s power to do further harm…

This Breitbart opinion writers column is exactly right. Mid term elections are based upon the performance of a President and his administration during their first two years in office. Most of the time the President’s party loses house seats in the mid term.

 

The people are looking to put a check on Biden’s power rather than to assist him in passing more of his agenda

 

Everything points to a republican landslide in November, but if an incompetent child sniffing, woman groping racist can get the most votes in history and people really believe it, then I’m concerned about what democrats will do to rig the smaller elections where fraud is less likely to be noticed and easier to commit.

 

I disagree about the last part. It’s harder to do fraud in a midterm than a general. There are no votes to be manufactured in the locations where fraud happened in 2020 for a congressional district or state legislature district or local race. US senate races and gubernatorial races in Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania are at risk to be sure.

 

why did the dems not rig the senate and house elections in 2020? did they hire 20000 mules to do 1/2 a job?

 

Because the fraud was concentrated in five big cities (Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Phoenix) making local state legislative and US house seats outside of them unaffected. Many ballots in those places were marked only for President and no other office. Clearly the Ga. senate races were stolen later as well. Pennsylvania , Michigan, and Wisconsin areas need to hold their results until the final results from from Philadelphia, Detriot, Milwaukee are in so that they can’t know how many votes they need to manufacture in their state wide races.

 

The only way repubs get a landslide is if they cheat.

 

How many fraudulent votes were there in Philly again? Because it is just weird that with all of that "fraud" Trump did better in 2020 than 2016....

 

Whatever it took to move Pennsylvania from Trump to Biden was generated post election in Philadelphia.

 

Trump lost PA because he lost votes outside of Phila relative to 2016. 120K+ outside of Phila.

You can keep repeating the nonsense over and over, doesn't make it true. Facts, not imaginary nonsense, prevail

 

I hope your right, but my concerns show you how much trust I have with democrats.

 

Believe me, I don’t trust them at all either.

 

The swing will probably be the traditional swing of 40%which is what every president back to Reagan had as a change for opposition party election at mid terms. Again, no surprise.

 

The silver lining for democrats is that even if they get their heads handed to them in November, Joe will have forgotten by the next morning. And then blame it on Putin.

 

A lot of democratic fortunes will rise and fall with whatever they do on student loans. Cancellation even polls well with young republicans. The problem right now is that Biden seems to be infuriating both the left and the right with the issue without having even announced a decision on it yet. Any amount is too much for the right and the leaked $10K per borrower has really set off the left as more insulting than nothing at all to the point that they are trying to walk that number back.

 

Cancellation polls well with those who will personally gain from it. It is a direct transfer of tax dollars and wealth from the working class and middle class to the kids of the upper middle class to elites. I paid mine off, will I get it now too? What about parents who did pay for their kids education?

 

Sure the 50% of americans who pay no net income taxes would be footing the bill for "the elite"

In the mean time, if he goes big for borrowers and the SCOTUS drops the as expected Roe v. Wade repeal, the red wave will become a blue wall. If he doesn't, then the dems will hold the Senate and lose the House.

 

"Midterm Elections Are a Referendum on White House Performance"

guess that is why Trump lost the midterms

 

the left thinks 10K is reasonable, let's hope he gets it done

 

To be fair, I'm willing to blame the government during Trump for 35% of the current inflation. But the Democrats and media still practically forced Trump to do this. They set up a situation that would force him to enact certain policies, because if he did not they would try to use that to hound him and make sure he and Republicans would lose the next election. The swing voters that were needed to get reelected had to be appeased.

The real fault is stupid American voters that would easily buy the lies, and who essentially were the ones "voting for inflation".

Inflation is sort of like "easy money now", but carries a cost down the line. So it was easy to make this political. Start printing lots of money and for a short time everyone thinks they have lots of money and that things are going well.

The same amount of money would have been printed if Democrats had the Presidency and Trump had not been there, and everyone knows this.
Trump was just playing up the political strategy to the extreme, do everything that could be popular that the Democrats would do.

Maybe it's "too complicated" for some of you here to understand, but I don't lay any blame on Trump for this at all.

 

"What’s also undeniable is that the current inflation rate, 8.3 percent, is six timeshigher than it was when former president Donald Trump left office—and so Democrats have a big problem. "

this is a problem worldwide, as we import most of our goods, we gonna also experience this issue

part of this is the change in spending habits around the world during covid

the other is the greedy oil companies reducing supply, thus raising the cost of oil

nothing Biden can do other than force American oil to sell us oil at the price they did pre-covid and ban exports, is that what the right wants?

 

Wow!!! A true believer in Biden's policies yet a disbeliever in the polls. The moon landing was fake and wrestling is real. We all know the type.

 

LIES AND IDIOCY ARE HIS TWO AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Biden Wants You to Know the Economy Is Super and if You Don’t Agree You’re a Moron.

​

“We’re ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years,” Biden claimed last December. “Let’s keep the progress going.”

More and more awesomeness!

 

Not really. It's only a "new" problem in the United States, Canada, and European Union (and just a little bit in Australia).

What type of government policies did these countries all have in common?

use the pandemic as an excuse to borrow lots of money.

 

pther countries are dealing with the supply issues and high oil prices too, this is not a US only issue, it's a global issue
