Another new poll delivers ominous forebodings for Democrats and President Joe Biden. Americans are embracing Republican governors at a much higher rate than their Democrat counterparts.
A Morning Consult poll released this month found that of the top 10 governors with the highest approval ratings – nine of them were Republicans. Topping the list is Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R), with 79% of registered voters who approved of his job performance in the third quarter of 2021. Shockingly, 88% of Democrats said they strongly approved or somewhat approved Scott’s leadership compared to 75% of Republicans.

A Hill-HarrisX poll released this month found that 61% of registered voters said Biden should make way for another Democrat to run in 2024, while only 24% believed he should run for reelection.
A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll showed that Republican congressional candidates hold their largest lead over voter preference heading into a midterm election in the 40 years of the survey’s history. The poll asked registered voters what political party they would vote for if the midterm elections were today. Republicans enjoyed a 10-point lead – 51% preferred Republicans and 41% favor a Democratic candidate.
Last month, an NBC News survey found that 71% of Americans said the country was “off on the wrong track,” and a mere 22% saw the nation heading in the right direction.
