Joe Biden has fallen in the polls and can't get up. Biden may drag Virginia gubernatorial candidate, Terry McCauliffe, down with him - although McCauliffe is tripping over his own clumsy feet.

Democrats seem to be expecting that it will be necessary to steal the gubernatorial election here in Virginia to avoid an embarrassing loss. Fairfax County has decided not to require the last four digits of voters' Social Security Numbers on absentee ballots. That will make it much easier for Fairfax County to deliver enough mail-in ballots to put Terry McCauliffe over the top. McCauliffe's poll numbers are dropping even faster than Biden's are in Virginia and the latest poll has him trailing Glenn Youngkin by 8 points. McCauliffe is one of the sleaziest politicians in this country. Education is a big issue here and McCauliffe has sided with the teachers' unions and school administrators over parents in the campaign.

The Virginia election will be a referendum on Joe Biden's policy and competence. Biden allegedly carried the state by 10 percent in the 2020 election. A McCauliffe loss or even a narrow win will not bode well for Democrats' 2022 prospects. Democrats are already warning that it may take several days to finish counting the absentee ballots. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Chuck Todd: ‘Shocking’ NBC Poll Shows 71% Believe U.S. Is on Wrong Track — ‘Scary News for the Democrats’

NBC anchor Chuck Todd debuted a new poll on Sunday’s broadcast of “Meet the Press” which showed 71 percent of Americans believe America is on the wrong track.

Todd said, “We have a brand new NBC news poll out this morning still with some scary news for the Democrats. The overarching message, Americans have lost their confidence in President Joe Biden and their optimism for the country. At least they have right now. Just 22% of adults say we are headed in the right direction. A shocking 71% say we’re on the wrong track and that includes a near majority of Democrats who are saying that.”

He continued, “President Biden’s approval rating stands at a dismal 42% versus 54% who disapprove. Believe it or not, just two months ago Mr. Biden was in positive territory, 49 approving. So what’s pulling down the president’s numbers? Look at this set of numbers, just 37% say he has the ability to handle a crisis versus a majority who say he does not. Thirty-seven percent also say he’s competent and effective as president. 50% disagree with that description. What’s more, Republicans, believe it or not, have double-digit leads in dealing with border security, inflation, crime, national security, the economy, and, shockingly, on getting things done. Democrats hold generally smaller double-digit leads on dealing with climate change, the coronavirus, education, and abortion. That’s really it right now.”
