<p>A new CBS News poll predicted Sunday that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/republican-party">Republicans</a> would likely take control of the House of Representatives after November&#8217;s midterm elections — but the economic questions were the ones that foreshadowed even worse news for President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>The CBS/YouGov Battleground Tracker poll <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y10gIlF03FoCRyA84leD9_OGJ9N1RGGs/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surveyed</a> 2068 registered voters between October 12th and 14th, asking a <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/republicans-lead-house-control-opinion-poll-2022-10-16/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">number of questions</a> about the upcoming elections, the overall state of the economy, and whether or not they were satisfied with the direction the country was heading.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">A new CBS News poll shows Republicans are still favored to capture the House, with an estimated 224-seat majority. Democrats had been narrowing the gap, but that momentum has stalled. <a href="https://twitter.com/DebraAlfarone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@debraalfarone</a> is in Washington with details. <a href="https://t.co/cTeZ3fntvA">pic.twitter.com/cTeZ3fntvA</a></p>

<p>The worst news for Democrats came from the questions about the economy, as 65% of those polled said that they felt like the United States economy was getting worse compared to only 15% who believed it was getting better. Another 20% said that the economy was staying the same.</p>
<p>Another dramatic swing in gas prices were not helping matters either: 63% said that gas prices in their area were going up compared to only 13% who said that gas prices were going down. By comparison, in August 53% said that gas prices were going down and only 16% had said they were going up.</p>
<p>To make matters even worse for Democrats, the majority of those polled said that Democrats and Democrat-led policies were a part of the problem. Nearly half of the respondents (48%) said that Democratic policies had harmed the economy, and just under one-third (29%) said that they had helped.</p>
<p>In addition, just over two-thirds (68%) said that the Biden administration could be doing more to combat inflation — while 29% said that the administration was doing everything that it could.</p>
<p>Nearly two-thirds said that President Biden bore either &#8220;a lot&#8221; (45%) or &#8220;some&#8221; (26%) responsibility for the current state of the economy — and well over one-third of respondents (42%) said that Republican policies would likely help the economy.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">NEW CBS Poll: Voters hold Biden responsible for the state of the economy. 71% say he bears a lot or some responsibility for an economy that 65% of voters say is getting worse. <a href="https://t.co/Aeym2Q8vI8">https://t.co/Aeym2Q8vI8</a> <a href="https://t.co/3oK0dBOohD">pic.twitter.com/3oK0dBOohD</a></p>

<p>Despite receiving another spate of bad economic news earlier in the week, President Biden <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-between-bites-of-ice-cream-brags-the-economy-is-strong-as-hell-ice-cream-prices-are-up-13-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">informed reporters</a> that the American economy was &#8220;strong as hell.&#8221; He insisted that inflation was a global phenomenon and that things were worse in other countries around the world than they were in the United States.</p>
<p>CNBC anchor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/jim-cramer-says-theres-just-nothing-good-here-about-biden-inflation-numbers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Cramer</a> disagreed, however, saying after the latest inflation numbers came out that there was no good news to report.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was just plain bad. There’s absolutely nothing to say about it other than it was bad,&#8221; he said.</p>
