The change in party affiliation occurred over the course of the past year, during which time President Joe Biden’s policies and spending legislation approved by the Democratically controlled Congress have been roundly blamed for rampant inflation, which has resulted in record-high average gas and diesel fuel prices, rising food and rent prices, a persistent supply chain crisis, and a chaotic, porous southwestern border.
New data indicate that tens of thousands of Americans have shifted to the Republican Party, which is another another indicator that there may be a significant red wave during the November midterm elections.
It’s interesting to note that Republicans are making significant gains in the suburbs of both big and small cities, “where voters who supported President Biden in 2020 are struggling with inflation and growing more critical of Democratic social issues,” Fox News reported, citing data compiled by The Associated Press.
The outlet continues:
The voter trend is yet another sign that Republicans hope to make significant gains in Congress and state governments across the nation in November, even while it is hardly the death knell for Democrats.
Inflation is at a 40-year high and is showing no signs of slowing down, and the Biden administration has been frantically trying to handle both the increasing gas prices and these issues.
The White House approach to the economic crisis has drawn criticism from members of Biden’s own party who claim he is acting too passively.
In an opinion piece for The New York Times earlier in June, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., stated that while she supports the president’s efforts, “we need a bigger vision and faster action.”
“To address the situation, Mr. Biden should form an urgent task team with the authority to reduce costs and deal with shortages. We require a comprehensive mobilization, not simply a few hasty attempts to respond to headlines, the speaker continued.
Florida, where the GOP now outnumbers registered Democrats for the first time in the state’s history, may be the only state where the change in Republican voter registration has been as large as it has been in Florida.
In April, Republican voters outnumbered Democrats in the state by 120,000, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“Around 300,000 more Floridians were registered as Democrats than Republicans at the time I was elected governor. Until I became governor, there were never more Republicans in the state than there are today, with over 120,000 more registered Republicans, DeSantis noted as he signed legislation to protect Sunshine State elections’ integrity.
He pointed to a few of the significant pieces of legislation that the legislature and his administration made a reality and said, “I think people do value a free state and I think they appreciate a lot of what we’ve been able to do.
He pointed to the congressional districts and added, “We had a special session of the legislature last week and… the legislature enacted a handful of legislation,” taking action against Disney’s Reedy Creek, which he claimed “was basically operated by Walt Disney Company.”
“That was essentially the first step in a process to make sure that Disney shouldn’t run its own government,” the speaker said. In response to criticism, he said, “Disney should not be exempt from the regulations that every single person in Florida must pass.
Democratic insiders have been claiming for months that the party will easily win the autumn election due to a number of factors.
It’s horrible, a Democratic strategist said under anonymity to The Hill in April. “You have a crippling energy issue, 40-year-high inflation, and we’re about to enter a recession. The issue is easy to solve. The American people no longer trust him.
The strategist went on to say, “Everyone needs to accept the fact that we’re going to lose in November.” “That is true. His polling has declined rather than improved. It demonstrates that people no longer have faith in his ability to lead. Nothing will be possible for them to accomplish.
Bill Galston, former domestic policy adviser to former President Bill Clinton and chair of the Brookings Institutions governance study program, stated that “unless and until inflation comes down appreciably, that’s going to be a ceiling on his job approval that’s a lot lower than the White House wants it to be.”
“High gas prices are one of the largest anchors on presidential approval,” continued Jeff Jones, senior editor at Gallup.
