According to survey aggregations by RealClear Politics, Biden has a disapproval rating of only 42.1%, while only former President donald trump has a disapproval rating of only 41.6%. Increased crime, the highest rate of illegal immigration in 40 years, abortion restrictions, perceived threats to democracy, and the personalities of the two political party leaders, Democrat Joe Biden and Republican donald trump, have polarised the electorate more than any other time in modern history. The undertone of violence is escalating tensions: Republican candidate for governor of New York Lee Zeldin was attacked, as was Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, and a shot was fired into the home of a Republican candidate for the north carolina House.
Democrats have emphasised what they claim is the impending threat to democracy posed by trump, who they claim won't admit defeat in 2020, and some of his supporters who violently attacked the Capitol building housing the congress in january 2021. This comes as Republicans have taken the lead on inflation and crime issues, overtaking Democrats. At a rally for voters on Monday, Biden stated: "We are currently at a turning point. Our democracy is in danger, and we realise that this is your chance to stand up for it." The house Democratic whip Jim Clyburn went even further, saying that his party's defeat "may very well be the end of the world."
He continued to assert that a Republican victory would put the US on the path to repeating what happened in germany with the rise of the Nazis, despite later admitting that he had misspoken. trump made the following remarks while supporting J.D. Vance, an Ohio senator whose wife Usha Chilukuri is of indian descent: "Our country is in decline. We are a nation in decline." And as he insulted Democrats, he couldn't help but draw attention to himself by teasing that he will make "a very major" statement on november 15 — which is taken as a bid for the president in 2024. With Republicans in charge of the house, investigations into the Capitol riots may come to an end and an uncomfortable emphasis on Biden may begin.
