38. If it's still 39% in the fall then I'll panic

A lot can happen between now and November.

Biden is getting crucified because of a lot of factors that are completely out of his control: inflation, gas prices, the war in Ukraine, Republican extremism, Manchin/Sinema, right wing media, etc...

If this administration's luck finally changes our chances of keeping Congress in the mid-terms will vastly improve.
People vote according to their wallets. As long as prices are high Democrats are going to get all the blame. And many Americans polled still have the delusional idea that Republicans are better at handling the economy.

The Biden camp does need to continue to point out exactly what Americans will get if they vote Republicans back in power. And beat that message like a drum. The "both parties are the same" crowd needs a wake up call.
