"This poll would have to be described as bleak, discouraging and TRULY TERRIBLE" says Republican pollster who was probably quite silent when Trump polled 2 points lower than Biden at his one year anniversary. Granted, this is not good, but the hyperbole and handwringing is ridiculous. Obama was just marginally better at one year, yet had no problem with winning a second term 3 years later. Not that I think Biden should run for a second term, but this is not the death sentence both sides act like it is.
I think Biden's prospects are largely dependent on the course of Covid. If Covid fades quickly. inflation likely ticks down, and the good economic news may dominate the headlines. Putin's shenanigans are a big wildcard.
The problem with the Obama comparison is Democrats lost about 60 seats in the 2010 midterm, and the midterm is nigh. Republicans got wiped out in the House in 2018. We really don't want a 2010 style bloodbath in the House.
This is true, and Biden's low approval will definitely have an impact in the midterms. I am just exasperated by the overwhelming, week by week coverage Might as well get a skywriter to emphasis it so much that it makes an even larger impact than it normally would.

Agree. There are so many unprecendented unknowns right now that I just think it is premature to be obsessing about this.

And in GA. Let’s hope they don’t take over the Senate with the likes of Oz, Walker, and Mandel.
