(3,942 posts)you can spot trends with them. The trends up on 538 over the last couple weeks point to one thing. In the words of Carville its the economy.
And I can tell you it is and has been the number one topic locally for the last month. If something doesn't get done to get prices down soon (yes I'm aware only so much a pres can do) the Dems are gonna have a tough road in Nov. Ever since prices started going up the trend has gone to repukes on general ballot polls and Biden's favorable ratings have plummeted. The problem is, even with Roe, the 1/6 hearings, those trends aren't moving much. Its the damn economy. And repukes are playing it like a fiddle saying all this other stuff, 1/6, bitching about Roe, bitching about SCOTUS, bitching about elections all are the left trying to divert attention away from a sour economy. It's their favorite trick, because it works.
Also Fat Nixons approval ratings are just as bad as Biden's, but interestingly,, approval ratings for both parties are about the same but they are as low as Bidens and Fat Nixons.
To me all of that points to 2 things, the economy and an electorate that's getting fed up with politics. We live in a materialistic self centered society. This economy is going to kill us if something doesn't start to change. imho
