US midterm elections 2022: Biden's worries and key issues | Deep Dive

India Today  

The United States is all set to hold midterm elections — polls that happen halfway through a president's four-year term — on November 8 to give Americans a chance to elect members of Congress and representatives at the state and local levels. Will President Joe Biden's Democratic Party continue to maintain its ultra-narrow majority in Congress or will Americans bring Donald Trump's Republican Party back? The odds seem in the Republicans' favour as even after two years in power, Biden's Democratic Party is still struggling to win the public's trust as the president's approval rating sinks lower than Trump's. US MIDTERMS 2022: KEY ISSUES The troubled economy, gun control, and abortion laws are the key issues that have been dominating America's poll scene. WORRIES FOR BIDEN Joe Biden’s approval ratings hit a new low on Monday and touched 39.7 per cent, worse than his predecessor Donald Trump’s ratings at this point in 2018, according to a new poll.
