Democrats’ about-face on COVID insanity won’t be enough to save them at midtermsBy Josh Hammer
February 11, 2022
As we race toward this fall’s midterm elections, it is obvious that Democrats are in for a shellacking. Both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have approval ratings underwater by double-digit margins. Even more ominous, the RealClearPolitics polling average for voters who have been recently asked about the direction of the country reveals an astonishing 37.5% margin in favor of the idea America is on the “wrong track.”
Put simply, voters can’t stand Biden, hate Harris even more and emphatically think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Also auguring poorly for Democrats is the near-ironclad rule of American politics that a sitting president’s political party will lose seats in the first post-inauguration midterm election.
In a desperate attempt to stave off, or at least mitigate, a veritable electoral bloodbath, Democrats have conveniently decided that now is the time to finally stop obsessing over COVID. Yes, now — right as other polling evinces a majority of Americans want to cease or seriously lessen COVID-induced lifestyle restrictions.
