Democrats have a very good chance of keeping both the House and Senate in 2022.

The more Joe travels and is before the people with his consistent message, voters are going to listen. They know he is not sugar coating the problems before us. They know he has the RIGHTpeople in position to help him govern..They know that the Republican Party will do whatever they can by CHEATING to win.

In other words, Joe is undercutting the Republicans by being out there and on message.

With the question.....has the Democratic Party nd Democrats worked to improve your life and opportunities over the past 2 years?

If the answer is yes. Democrats will have the voters.

96% Support with Dems is expected. 62% with Independents is great too. But 23% with Republicans is excellent and shows he's making a dent in Trumpism.

The first election I was able to vote in was 1992. I’ve never been happier with a president, and he’s only a few months into the job. My proudest vote was last November, and my second proudest vote was for Biden in the SC primary. (With a grateful nod to Rep. Jim Clyburn for changing the whole trajectory of the primary race!)

is a full 25 points higher than Trumps at this point in both administrations.

He doesn't seem to have gotten any of the honeymoon that many Presidents from Obama back did, where they started with 70+ approvals. However, he's also losing support much less quickly than they did. This support feels pretty stable over the first few months. Furthermore, Republicans still haven't found an effective way to attack him. It's been 2 years of trying and nothing works.

It's such a stark contrast from Trump to Biden. Going on four months and the worst scandal was that Biden's dog bit a guy.
