The GOP’s Newest Midterm Issue: Menthols?Majority of voters in three swing states oppose Biden's menthol banCollin Anderson • April 25, 2022 5:00 amWith voters across the country already sour on Joe Biden's handling of immigration, foreign policy, and the economy, Republicans have identified another issue to rally midterm voters against Democrats: the president's proposed menthol cigarette ban.
According to an April Echelon Insights Poll obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, swing-state voters in Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina widely disapprove of the Biden administration's potential menthol ban. Fifty-two percent of Georgia and Nevada voters and 50 percent of North Carolina voters say the administration should keep menthols legal. Just 28, 31, and 30 percent of voters, meanwhile, want to ban the flavored cigarettes in Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina, respectively.
Should the Biden administration move forward with its menthol ban, the decision could harm the president's standing in the three states, which are crucial to determining control of the Senate in the November midterm elections. Forty-nine percent of Nevada voters—including 60 percent of Hispanic voters in the state—would be less likely to support a candidate who "vocally supported" a menthol ban, the poll shows. Just 21 percent of Silver State voters would be more likely to back a menthol ban supporter, according to the poll.
