Cook Political Report: Intensity of Opposition to Biden Rises

September 8, 2021

We all know Joe Biden’s approval ratings have nosedived, but The Cook Political Report’s Amy Walter picked up on another trend that bodes poorly for vulnerable House Democrats: an emerging intensity gap.

Walter writes, “What should be more worrisome for Biden (and Democrats overall), is that the intensity of opposition to the president is also on the rise, while strong approval has dropped…. Bottom line: angry people vote, complacent or disappointed ones don’t.”

NRCC Comment: “Smart Democrats will retire because they know voters won’t turn out for their toxic agenda of higher prices, reckless spending, and massive tax hikes.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
