I must disagree. It’s not about supporting either party today. It’s a question of which major party you want to lose the least. Not win but lose the least. That doesn’t translate into support for either one. I’m talking independents here. They mighty dissatisfied, unhappy, disappointed in Biden, all you must do is look at his approval rating along with the Democrats in congress.
But independents don’t trust the alternative party either, the Republicans. Only 27% of independents have a favorable view of the Democrats, 54% unfavorable while 29% view the GOP favorably, 50% unfavorably with the rest in the undecided, not sure or plain don’t care column. There’s no love there or support for either party. The support is for a viable third party so independents don’t have to make a choice between Republicans and Democrats.
Who do independents plan on voting for this midterm? It’s 35-27 for the Republicans with the rest in the undecided, not sure, other or will not vote column. The good news for democrats is independents aren’t angry at them yet. Just disappointed, dissatisfied, plain unhappy. Throw in the distrust of a Trump led party, that means minimal loses. It is my opinion that Trump right now is the difference between minimal loses and a red wave. Without Trump, there would be no hesitancy about independents voting for the alternative party to the Democrats, the Republicans.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
