New data from the Institute of Politics and Public Service shows public support for Democrats in congressional races is far less than support behind the presumptive nominee Joe Biden‘s presidential race.

The numbers show support for Biden is high — despite 59 percent of voters thinking it is unlikely Biden will finish a four-year term in the White House. But in down-the-ballot races, it’s not looking good for Democrats.

According to the report’s release, “Democrats see a 9-point drop in support between Biden and the generic Congressional Democrat among white suburban women, a 6-point drop among independents, and a 5-point drop with college graduates.”

Holy smokes. "Democrats see a 9-point drop in support between Biden and the generic Congressional Democrat among white suburban women, a 6-point drop among independents, and a 5-point drop with college graduates." https://t.co/lFMzgsKfiC

While it may not ring good news for the Trump campaign, local congressional races should see this as potentially election-changing results.

Republicans also have higher support in crucial voting blocks like rural voters (57 percent), white seniors (53 percent), and voters with some college education (50 percent), according to the data.

While this poll suggests Biden is soaring past Trump in national polls — which notably didn’t matter in 2016 since the electoral college does not need national support — the Republican platform in general is more popular.

The generic Congressional ballot results show Republican support at 44 percent — with Democrats sitting at 50 percent.

This is much smaller than the Biden/Trump numbers, specifically on different issues like the COVID-19 response where Biden leads Trump by 22 percent in voter’s approval.

Therefore, November may see many congressional elections go in President Trump’s favor but the presidential ballot still remains uncertain.

Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.

60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:

“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.

PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"

BIDEN: "Yes."

(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:

60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"

Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."

60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"

Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"

60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”

Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”
