Biden's approval rating drops to new low in home state of Delaware

President Joe Biden’s approval rating has hovered at abysmally low levels across the country, but a recent poll shows that voters in his home state of Delaware are growing tired of the 79-year-old Democratic leader.

According to data from a Tuesday Morning Consult poll, Biden’s approval rating in his home state is only 50% -- dropping from 62% at a similar period last year. Similarly, 45% of Delaware voters appear to disapprove of the president, up from 32% last year.

To paint a clearer picture, the data shows that Biden’s net approval rating is only +4 in Delaware – a noticeable drop from the near +30 rating he enjoyed last year.

Currently, Delaware is one of only ten states – including Vermont, California, Washington, New York, and Maryland --where Biden’s approval rating has not hit rock bottom.

In 33 states, however, things don’t look good for the president or his party as they prepare for this year’s midterm elections – especially in “conservative enclaves such as West Virginia and Wyoming, to battlegrounds that were pivotal to his 2020 victory, such as Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia,” the poll noted.

The president’s approval rating has dropped by more than 20 percentage points in all Senate and most Congressional battleground states. In Colorado, where Biden won in 2020 by some 14 points, for example, Biden’s net approval rating stands at -2 (47-49%).

Biden’s poll numbers could mean bad news for Democrats as they prepare to defend the House and Senate from Republican control in November.

According to an analysis from Breitbart:

Republicans could be on the verge of a historic election. In the Senate, polling released on Thursday showed voters heavily favoring Republicans by nine points on a generic ballot (48-39 percent). The generic ballot is important because it indicates congressional Republicans have a national advantage over Democrats regardless of the candidate. In specific Senate races, Republicans are leading in Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, and Nevada.

In the House, Cook Political Report, David Wasserman, believes Republicans will have a huge advantage. Cook estimates only 15 Republican districts either lean Republican or are likely Republican holds. In contrast, 27 Democrat-held districts either lean that way or are likely Democrat districts.
