    ‘Our House Is on Fire’: Democrat Strategists Sound Alarm over Joe Biden’s Setbacks

    Some Democrat strategists have expressed concern over President Joe Biden’s handling of hot-button issues such as inflation and abortion amid increasingly bleak polling numbers facing the president.

    “There’s the administrative part of the job and the political part of the job, and it seems like this president is leaning more in the administrative role at a time when his coalition is thirsty for political clarity and leadership,” Democrat strategist Joel Payne said in an interview with The Hill published Wednesday. “The president and his team have to be vigilant about providing that and balance the need to do both.”

    Another Democrat strategist, whose identity was not revealed by The Hill, sharply criticized Biden and White House officials, suggesting they need to do a lot more to solve a mounting number of issues plaguing the country.

    “It’s infuriating,” the top strategist reportedly stated. “Our house is on fire and it seems like they’re doing nothing to put the fire out. They’re just watching it with the rest of us.”

    Worries regarding Biden’s performance from within the Beltway coincide with polling that shows the president is losing support across the U.S.

    As Breitbart News previously reported:
    Biden is underwater in 48 states — including the typically dark blue California and his home state of Delaware — while his approval rating is down to the lowest in his presidency, at only 30 percent approval and 58 percent disapproval, according to the most recent CIVIQS rolling job-approval average on July 3.

    While twelve percent of survey participants do not approve or disapprove, Biden’s approval rating is underwater in 48 states. The only two exceptions are Hawaii (45 to 42 percent) and Vermont (44 to 38 percent). The president’s net approval is at negative 28.

    Meanwhile, Biden allies like former White House adviser Cedric Richmond, are scrambling to defend the president’s actions (or lack there of).

    “The country didn’t elect Joe Biden because they wanted a Democratic Donald Trump to go out there every day and divide the country more,” Richmond said, according to Politico Playbook. Richmond then added that Democrats taking aim at Biden are “scapegoating the President, or distracted and not focusing on what they should be focused on. He saved democracy once by beating a tyrant. He’s doing it again, but he doesn’t do it by beating his chest.”

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    That's ok. After it's all said and done, they'll do studies, focus groups, and a deep retrospective, and come to the conclusion that the problem lies with poor communication on their parts.

      Or, more likely, the American Public's inability to understand.

        Or, it's Putin's fault.

        Failing that, it's Trump's fault.

              After you eliminate the possibility that people just don't like what you're selling as absolutely inconceivable, it's really the logical choice.

                Dems are doing fine in the polling of a Dem Vs Rep generic ballot, but Biden's own approval rating is underwater. Seems people are fine with Dem policies - which poll well - they just think the current leadership isn't competent to deliver on those policies.

                Would be nice if it lead to the entire leadership being put out to pasture and replaced.

                  Democrats and Republicans are going to poll pretty much the way they vote on their pet issues: along party lines.

                  The important poll is: Are you happy with the way things are going? That's the one that counts, because that's the one that registers how people are surviving. Not "Do you support abortion rights" or "Do you support green policies," those are irrelevant when people aren't able to make ends meet because of rampant inflation.

                      Really?

                      Every poll tracking the generic ballot for Congress has the Republicans up. I don't know if I've ever seen that before.

                      As for people being fine with Dem policies... I guess that explains several polls saying that over 80% of the country thinks we are heading in the wrong direction. While not my favorite type of poll, again I don't think I've ever seen it this lopsided before.

                      Biden is polling worse than any president in the history of polling -- even Trump during the time when most people believed the Collusion Delusion -- save for Nixon when he resigned. Some Democrats think his approval rating will be dropping further -- down into the low 30s by the time the mid-terms roll around and this will further negatively effect Democrat candidates.

                      At this point, the only thing stopping a massive red wave later this year is if voters assume its a done deal and stay home, but given the current high energy and desire to vote, that seems highly unlikely.
