November’s midterm elections are on track to become a resounding rejection of wild federal spending, with inflation the runaway top issue to voters, who blame Biden for skyrocketing prices and believe Republicans are better equipped to get costs under control.
A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll finds 33 percent of U.S. adults named inflation as the biggest issue facing the nation, and no other issue was even close.
Not only will November’s elections be a virtual national referendum on inflation, it appears voters will take out their anger on Democrats.
The poll found:
A stunning 70 percent of Americans rate the economy as either poor (42 percent) or fair (28 percent.)
Americans blame Biden for inflation than any other person or event, with 37 percent blaming Biden, 27 percent blaming the COVID-19 pandemic, 13 percent blaming Trump and only 4 percent blaming the Federal Reserve.
Only 21 percent think Biden is “doing enough to address inflation.” — including 41 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Biden’s 2020 voters.
Only nine percent of Americans believe Biden is focused more on inflation than anything else.
Americans believe Republicans will do a better job than Democrats of “fixing” it, by a 31 percent to 26 percent margin.
The Washington Examiner reported the findings of a recent focus group, with voters fed up with rising prices:
Nevada woman: “It’s terrible. It’s terrible. With inflation, gas price is rising, cost of food. I literally just went grocery shopping yesterday, spent $700 on what? This time, last year would’ve filled my refrigerator up, and it’s barely [enough] because I have three teenagers at home.”
North Carolina man: “I’m always complaining to my wife about her spending too much in groceries. She’s, like, ‘I’m buying the same stuff that I did six months ago.’ So I definitely can see it.”
Wisconsin woman: “The prices are high. The food prices have gone up. The price of food has gone up, and they’ve taken out. And they’ve given you less. It used to be 16 ounces. Now it’s 13, and they hope you don’t notice. And sometimes you can go in the store the next day, a price will be 20 cent[s] higher.”
North Carolina woman: “So you can tell me it’s doing great, but if I’m struggling to buy groceries and gas and will be out of a job for real in two months, that to me is saying, no, it’s not really doing that great.”
Wisconsin woman: “And according to them, the 6 million jobs that were created, good. The economy has rebounded, so they say. But I don’t believe it. [Moderator: So what would you want to see in order to feel like, OK, the economy is rebounding? What kind of fact or number would you want to see?] Oh, prices going down. Gas prices down.”

IF the Democrat criminals don’t gain control of the precinct vote stations, like they have the past 6 years. And Biden’s lie about student loans being cancelled isn’t used again to get the ignorant Millennials to vote the Demos in the midterm and then him in again in 24
The Emperor has no clothes and the (__________) has no brain! Enough said. Let’s Go Brandon!
Whether or not the Republicans win depends on how well they are prepared for electoral fraud. We will see more of it than ever before.
