Democrats Winning Over the ‘Meh’ Voter

September 6, 2022 · 1:08 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Amy Walter: “A pollster doing work for a non-partisan organization that is not involved in electoral politics shared some of their data with me. That survey also found Democratic candidates were getting a significant share of the vote from those who “somewhat disapprove” of Biden. Among the 11 percent of voters who say they ‘somewhat disapprove’ of Biden, Democrats have 33 point lead on the generic ballot.”

“In other words, maybe the way to look at this gap between Biden’s job approval rating and the generic ballot isn’t to say that Democrats are outperforming Biden, but that Biden is under-performing Democrats.”
