This week’s White House Report Card finds the political fortunes of President Joe Biden and the Democrats controlling the House and Senate sinking just three weeks before the midterm congressional elections.
All signs look bad for Biden: Inflation remains high, mortgage rates have doubled, gas prices are headed up, illegal immigration is the worst ever, and crime is bad. As a result, many Democrats are moving fast to distance themselves from Biden and Washington. And through it all, Biden has been holding press conferences while eating ice cream and declaring everything is great.
Democratic pollster John Zogby said he sees the problems in the numbers and lack of surrogates talking up the president. “Bad week,” he said in grading it a C-minus.
Conservative analyst Jed Babbin cited the president’s weak energy policies and focus on fringe social policy to portray Biden as out of touch. He graded a D-minus.
