As the midterm election approaches, President Biden and the Democratic Party continue face challenges in their quest to retain majorities in the House and the Senate. While the economy is strong, wages are growing, and job creation is booming, many people are struggling with inflation and higher gas prices, neither of which is controlled by any president<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The importance of maintaining – and even expanding – the Democratic caucus in Congress is critical to a wide array of issues including gun regulation reform, reproductive choice, fair taxation, health care, and the environment. What’s more, congressional probes into the criminal activities of Trump and his cronies would be summarily halted if Republicans were to seize power. And GOP leaders have already promised to initiate persecutorial probes of Biden and other Democrats.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the need to persuade voters to back Democrats and cast ballots in the midterm election could not be more crucial to advancing the interests of the American people, and to democracy itself. The question is how best to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n

A new poll by Priorities USA<\/a><\/strong>, a Democratic SuperPAC, is shining some light onto a path forward for Democrats. They surveyed “persuadable”<\/em> voters in swing states and found that…<\/p>\n

“Democrats would lose narrowly to Republicans among targeted voters when people were simply asked if they wanted a Democrat or a Republican in office. On that generic ballot question, Republicans got 44% of the surveyed \u2013 which include battleground state persuadable voters and those who are at least somewhat unmotivated to vote this fall \u2013 while Democrats got 41% support. That small difference could be pivotal in Senate and gubernatorial races in those states.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, “when Trump and his Make America Great Again [MAGA] agenda are brought into the picture, it brightens for Democrats, the polling found”<\/em> that when…<\/p>\n

“Asked if they’d prefer a Democrat who supports Biden or a Republican who supports Trump, those polled preferred the Democrat to the Republican, 41% to 31%. On that question, the hypothetical Democrat got 11% of GOP voters who picked the Republican in the generic ballot question and 32% of third-party voters who initially went with the GOP contender.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is affirmation of America’s aversion to the twice-impeached reality TV game show host and failed real estate huckster. His repugnant personality, inflated ego, callous insensitivity, incessant lying, overt bigotry, and unrepentant criminal tendencies, have clearly had an effect on the population at large. And Democrats would be well advised to make note of those “qualities”<\/em> in their campaigns between now and November.<\/p>\n

For his [part, Trump continues to exhibit symptoms of his malignant narcissism in posts to his failing social media website<\/a><\/strong>. On Wednesday he delusionally ranted<\/a> that “It is being stated by almost all that Joe Biden is the worst President in history.”<\/em> Naturally, Trump offered no support for that wildly fictional claim, because there isn’t any. The truth is that, according to a survey of presidential historians<\/a><\/strong>, Trump is the 4th worst president in history. And according to several other rankings<\/a><\/strong>, Trump came in either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd worst.<\/p>\n

All of this drives home the point that Trump is a dead weight around the neck of the GOP. And that should be featured prominently in ads supporting Democratic candidates. However, giving Trump the whacking that he so richly deserves should not be done to the exclusion of positive portrayals of Democrats and the Democratic agenda.<\/p>\n

Voters still need to have an affirmative reason to go to the polls. And if Democrats can balance the Trump bashing with affirmations of Democratic accomplishments, they might just avoid the typical losses that occur for the party in power during the midterms.<\/p>\n
