Although President Joe Biden\u2019s chief pollster John Anzalone believes that the Democrats can still avoid major losses, he warned about major electoral problems going into the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n
Anzalone has previously warned of Biden\u2019s low approval rating overall and among Hispanic voters in particular. He said that voters are unhappy with the Democrats\u2019 lack of action on key issues such as inflation and health care. He then continued saying: \u201cSo if we\u2019re able to do something \u2014 a skinny BBB or whatever \u2014 on health insurance costs, prescription drug costs, elderly care, childcare, that\u2019s a big deal because it will give Democrats a competitive advantage on what they\u2019re doing for working families. And it\u2019ll cut through the inflation narrative, the Afghan narrative, the border narrative, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n Anzalone also added that \u201cthere\u2019s this narrative in D.C. among Democrats that you only talk to Latinos about immigration. Like, immigration is the twelfth issue that they\u2019re concerned about. It\u2019s always about the economy or inflation or healthcare or schools.\u201d<\/p>\n On the other side, as a test of their newfound gains among Hispanic voters, Republicans are pinpointing a July special election in South Texas. Mayra Flores, a Republican who will also seek a full term in November, has hopes that concerns about immigration and inflation will be decisive in flipping a seat formerly held by Democrat Filemon Vela. Republicans could pick up as many as 35 seats in the midterms, according to the beliefs of Election forecasters, which would create the party\u2019s largest majority since the Great Depression. \u201cNo one\u2019s going to sit there as a Democratic consultant and try to bullsh*t you that this is anything but a really sour environment for Democrats,\u201d Anzalone added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although President Joe Biden\u2019s chief pollster John Anzalone believes that the Democrats can still avoid major losses, he warned about major electoral problems going into the 2022 midterms.

\n\u201cVoters are very much in \u2018What have you done for me lately?\u2019 They always are. And they don\u2019t feel Democrats can get their sh*t together and get things done,\u201d said Anzalone per report<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nAnzalone added that Democrats are too \u201cscared of their own shadow\u201d, after arguing that Democrats should push tax increases on wealthier Americans. \u201cBiden\u2019s proposal of making those making over $400,000 pay a little bit more taxes and big corporations pay a little bit more taxes so they pay their fair share to make investments in healthcare and education and childcare is really important. Most Americans are pissed at the fact that they pay their fair share in taxes as middle-class people. They work hard. They want to see the benefits of the economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
