Devastating Polling Provides a Window Into Why Democrats Are Trying to Change the 2022 Election Rules

Joe Biden has been widely unpopular for many months now, with his average approval hovering in the low 40s since the late summer. Yet, for a long time, Democrats have had one issue to hang their hat on. That would be the COVID-19 pandemic. While the president’s ratings have long been terrible on the economy, immigration, and foreign policy (largely driven by his horrific evacuation from Afghanistan), he has mostly stayed above water in regards to his handling of the coronavirus.
Given his less-than-stellar results, you’re probably asking yourself why that’s the case. The answer is because far too many people are naive and see doing “something” as better than doing “nothing” — even if that “something” is doing more harm than good. That’s how you get so many on the left attacking Ron DeSantis for being lax on mitigation even though his state has far out-performed heavily mitigated states like New York. The mitigation itself is a religious tenant at this point despite how ineffective it is.
But that last straw Democrats have been desperately clinging to as a path out of electoral Armageddon in 2022 has finally slipped from their grasp. According to the latest poll from CNBC, Biden is now underwater everywhere you’d expect him to be, but he’s also underwater in his handling of COVID-19.
