Democrats hoped the calendar turning to 2022 would offer a fresh start after a disastrous 2021 dominated by Joe Biden’s multiple failures.
That was not to be the case.
And Democrats saw this historically bad poll that had all hell breaking loose.
Historically, more Americans identify as Democrats than Republicans.
When 2021 began, Democrats held a massive nine-point lead on the party identification question as tracked by Gallup polling.
The last 12 months were not kind to Democrats.
Joe Biden supercharged inflation to the highest levels since 1982 with trillions in socialist spending.
1.7 million illegal aliens invaded America during fiscal year 2021.
Biden botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan, killed 13 American troops due to incompetence and stranded thousands of U.S. citizens in Taliban-controlled territory.
Crime runs rampant in Democrat-run cities as George Soros-backed district attorneys refuse to enforce the law.
So, it was no surprise when the latest Quinnipiac poll showed just 33 percent of Americans approved of Biden’s job as president.
Joe Biden’s low poll numbers and failed policies seeped into the public’s overall impression of the two parties.
While the year started with Democrats holding a nine-point advantage at the start of the year, 2021 concluded with a 14-point swing towards Republicans.
The final Gallup poll on party identification found Republicans holding a five-point lead over Democrats, their largest advantage in that poll question since 1991.
Gallup wrote:
Both the nine-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter and the five-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter are among the largest Gallup has measured for each party in any quarter since it began regularly measuring party identification and leaning in 1991.
The Democratic lead in the first quarter was the largest for the party since the fourth quarter of 2012, when Democrats also had a nine-point advantage. Democrats held larger, double-digit advantages in isolated quarters between 1992 and 1999 and nearly continuously between mid-2006 and early 2009.
The GOP has held as much as a five-point advantage in a total of only four quarters since 1991. The Republicans last held a five-point advantage in party identification and leaning in early 1995, after winning control of the House of Representatives for the first time since the 1950s. Republicans had a larger advantage only in the first quarter of 1991, after the U.S. victory in the Persian Gulf War led by then-President George H.W. Bush.
The midterm elections are less than 10 months away.
Should the GOP’s advantage in party identification hold through November, Republicans are looking at a historic landslide win.
And that would bring down the curtain on the Democrats’ majorities in Congress which means Joe Biden’s ability to enact his socialist agenda is over.
