With President Joe Biden's popularity at historic lows and inflation draining Americans' wallets, Republicans spent the past several months sure that, come November, they would be able to ride a massive "red wave" to victory in the midterm elections – but those dreams of surfin' U.S.A. might be in danger of a wipe out as Democrats mount a late charge.
Republicans' midsummer momentum appears to be waning as Biden boasts his highest approval rating – 44% according to the latest Gallup poll — since the disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan a year ago. While his popularity is far from the 57% rating he enjoyed when he assumed the presidency in January 2021, it's a massive jump from the 38% approval rating he'd sunk to last month.
