OH THOSE NUMBERS – OVERNIGHT:  Well, you've got a choice.  You could either be Joe Biden or the captain of the Titanic.  What'll it be?  From RedState: 

Republicans probably wish the midterms were tomorrow, with the results of the elections this week, and now with the results of a latest poll on Joe Biden.

It’s not looking good for old Joe and the Democrats.

According to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll, taken Wednesday through Friday, many of the 1,000 registered voters contacted by pollsters delivered a very bad message to them — following up on the rebuke they got on Tuesday in the elections.

Biden has the worst approval rating of anyone at this point in his term, 38 to 59 percent, except for President Donald Trump who was constantly being assailed by the leftist media, while Biden has been largely praised.

Nearly half of those surveyed, 46%, say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16% of those who voted for him. Independents, by 7-1 (44%-6%), say he’s done worse, not better, than they expected.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans, 64%, say they don’t want Biden to run for a second term in 2024.

That includes 28% of Democrats.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ approval rating is 28% – even worse than Biden’s. The poll shows that 51% disapprove of the job she’s doing. One in 5, 21%, are undecided.

Sixty-six percent say the country is going in the wrong direction.

While many in the poll supported the infrastructure bill, only one in four believe that Build Back Better would be helpful for them; more believed it would hurt then help their families, 30-26 percent. We saw in a prior poll that Americans were not enamored of Biden’s bills, despite what Biden claims.

But beyond the indictment of Biden, here’s the money shot: If the election were held today, they would vote for the Republican candidate over the Democratic by 46 percent to 38 percent.

COMMENT:  Kamala Harris is at 28%?  That's what you get when you put someone on a national ticket who had to drop out of presidential nomination contention before the first vote was cast because she was doing so poorly.

Look, things can change in the year before the midterm elections.  But it's hard to see how a Democratic Party run by the loony left would be willing to change in a way to attract more support.  The people who control the party today are fanatics, the American political equivalent of kamikazes. 

Republicans have golden opportunities.  If they seize them, America can start to recover from this ridiculous age of wokeness.
