What Will Biden's Low Approval Ratings Mean for the Senate in the 2022 Midterms?

Editorial Staff - January 8, 2022

With President Bidens popularity in a freefall in amidst the current situations within the country including such factors as the economy, the increase in COVID cases, and his general mismanagement in general these catastrophic polling numbers could well have an effect on the 2022 midterm elections both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate.

As Biden's approval rating has slipped down to a measly 36%. It is the lowest among the 18-34 demographic at 28 percent with nearly 3 out of every 4 Americans disapproving his performance. And he’s nearly 40 points underwater among independent voters.

There are currenlty only four states have him above water.

In this upcoming Midterm Election there are 34 Senate seats up for grabs with 20 of those currently held by Republicans and 14 by Democrats. Only three are in states where Biden is above water. Understanding that an endorsement by a sitting president is a crucial endorsement in an election cycle to any candidacy (unless of course that President himself is not favorably looked upon). With that being said let's just say that out of the 14 Democrat currently controlled seats the Biden effect in the four states where he is above water pushes those candidates to victory but in the other 10 states it has just the opposite effect that would allow 10 seats to switch from Blue to Red and show the Red Tide washing through the Senate once again giving control of that body back to the Repulicans with a 60-40 margin.
