President Biden’s approval rating is under water in seven key congressional districts Democrats are defending in 2022, according to a GOP-aligned polling group, a sign of possible trouble for the party as it looks to protect its narrow House majority next year.
Polling conducted by the GOP firm Remington Research Group for the conservative American Action Network (AAN) shows Biden’s net approval rating averaging minus 7 percentage points in those seven districts, which span six states.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Remington Research Group (RRG), a Missouri-based group, was rated as a top five Republican polling firm by The New York Times’ pollster ratings last week.
“Remington Research Group has always held itself to the highest standards while still providing a cost-effective political polling solution,” President Titus Bond said in a statement. “It’s a credit to our entire team, and we will continue to innovate every day.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.: A recent survey conducted by Remington Research Group found that the majority of Americans (52%) think the Chiefs will win Super Bowl LIV. Just 35% think the 49ers will be the winner, and 13% are not sure who will win. Of those individuals who think the Chiefs will win, 56% believe they will win by more than 7 points. The poll surveyed 1,203 Americans who plan to watch Super Bowl LIV nationwide.
When asked who the better quarterback is, Americans said they believe Patrick Mahomes is the better QB over Jimmy Garoppolo by a 39-point margin. 57% said Mahomes is the better QB, compared to just 18% who said Garoppolo is the better QB. 24% are not sure.
Interest in this year’s Super Bowl is up nearly 80% from last year’s matchup between the New England Patriots and the L.A. Rams, with 87% of Americans indicating they are interested in the Super Bowl this year, compared to just 49% who were interested last year.
“Last year, the matchup between the Patriots (one of the most hated teams in the NFL), and the Rams (a team with a new, smaller fanbase), garnered very little interest from spectators. This year, we have two explosive teams with enthusiastic fan bases, a mix of pass and run-heavy offenses, and a competitive matchup (at least according to bookmakers). All these reasons play into the excitement we are seeing for Super Bowl LIV across the country,” said Director of Polling Lexie Davis.

KANSAS CITY, MO – A recent poll conducted by Remington Research Group found that a majority (51%) of American voters oppose The Green New Deal. The poll surveyed 1,212 registered voters nationwide.
Democrats support The Green New Deal by a 25-point margin (51% support, 26% oppose), while Republican and Independent voters overwhelmingly oppose the proposed legislation.
Respondents were also asked if they had to choose, whether they would prefer federal funding of a border wall or The Green New Deal. Over half (51%) of Americans say they would prefer the U.S. government fund a border wall, rather than The Green New Deal (31%). Independents would prefer a border wall to The Green New Deal by a 2-1 margin, while Republicans would prefer a border wall by a 68-point margin.
“The Green New Deal has presented an interesting situation for Democrats. Democratic voters support this legislation, while the rest of the country overwhelmingly opposes it. It will be intriguing to watch Democratic leaders and presidential hopefuls navigate this issue with their base while still appealing to mainstream voters,” said Titus Bond, President of Remington Research Group.

“Dan Donovan has been able to pull Trump Republicans back to his side,” said Titus Bond, President of Remington Research Group. “The last time we publicly polled this race in October, Grimm led with that group by 15 points. Grimm’s lead within that group has evaporated. Grimm always needed to win Trump Republicans by a wide margin to have a shot in this race.”
