Despite Biden’s poor polling numbers, vulnerable House Democrats have not been deterred from supporting the president
Democrats in House Seats Remain Supportive of President Biden Despite Low Poll Numbers
Despite President Joe Biden’s record-low approval ratings and polls showing former President Donald Trump leading in swing states, Democrats in House seats targeted by Republicans in 2024 are standing by their party’s leader.
While Biden’s numbers may be discouraging, these Democrats are hopeful that early polls can be inaccurate, pointing to the lack of a promised red wave in the 2022 midterm elections.
Challenging the Reliability of Polls
“I think polling is increasingly useless,” says Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY). “If we haven’t taken that away from the last few elections, I don’t know how much more we need to see.”
With Republicans aiming to maintain and expand their majority in the lower chamber of Congress, Democrats are aware of the importance of holding onto their seats.
Remaining Optimistic
“I haven’t kept up with poll numbers,” admits Rep. Don Davis (D-NC). “It’s early anyway.”
While House Democrats continue to defend Biden, some Democratic voters are expressing dissatisfaction with his handling of economics, immigration, and the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Despite these concerns, fundraising for Biden and the Democratic Party has remained positive, with significant contributions being made. In fact, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has outraised its Republican counterpart by $24.7 million so far in 2023.

Despite the challenging poll numbers, Democrats in House seats remain supportive of President Biden. They believe that early polls are not always reliable indicators of future election outcomes, as evidenced by the lack of a red wave in the 2022 midterm elections. These Democrats argue that polling methods are increasingly ineffective and may not accurately capture public sentiment.
Representative Pat Ryan from New York highlights the futility of relying solely on polls, stating that previous elections should have already taught us about their unreliability. While acknowledging the importance of staying informed, Representative Don Davis from North Carolina admits that early poll numbers should be taken with caution and that it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions.
Despite the divisions within the Democratic voter base, support for President Biden remains strong among many House Democrats. However, some Democratic voters have voiced their disapproval of Biden’s handling of key issues such as economics, immigration, and the Israel-Hamas conflict. These concerns highlight the challenges that Democrats are facing in maintaining unity within their party.
Nevertheless, despite the low poll numbers and internal divisions, the Democratic Party continues to receive significant financial support. Fundraising for Biden and the Democratic Party has remained positive, with substantial contributions being made. In fact, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has outpaced its Republican counterpart in fundraising, further indicating the continued support for the party and its agenda.
In conclusion, Democrats in House seats targeted by Republicans in 2024 are standing by President Biden despite his low poll numbers. They challenge the reliability of polls and remain optimistic that early numbers may not accurately reflect future election outcomes. While there is some dissatisfaction among Democratic voters, fundraising for the party has remained strong. As the 2024 elections approach, it will be crucial for Democrats to address the concerns of their base while maintaining support for their party’s leader.
