Coming Home: White Suburban Women Flocking Back to the GOP in Huge Numbers:

White suburban women have been coveted voters since the 1990s when the term “soccer mom” first came into vogue. They used to be a reliable GOP vote until 2020 when Democrats flipped the script and they became a key element of Joe Biden’s victory.

But while Democrats were drinking champagne and celebrating this major “realignment,” soccer moms in Virginia loaded their kids into their SUVs and stopped off to vote in the 2021 gubernatorial election on the way to practice. They elected Glenn Youngkin, who promised not to indoctrinate their children with critical race theory, and forced teachers and the school board to pay attention to their concerns.

Now, the 2022 election may become known as “The Revenge of the Soccer Moms.” After a short-lived and dubious flirtation with the Democrats, white suburban women are returning to the GOP standard and are looking to unelect a lot of Democrats.

Poll: White Suburban Women Favor GOP by 15 Points, Prefer Donald Trump over Joe Biden

White suburban women favor Republicans by 15 points, moving 27 points away from Democrats since August, a Wednesday Wall Street Journal Poll found.

The demographic of white suburban women, representing 20 percent of the electorate, is a key indicator of which party will control Congress after November 8.

Among their greatest concerns is the Democrats’ soaring inflation. Sixty-six percent of white suburban women say inflation is causing major financial hardship, up from 54 percent in August.

Fifty-four percent of white suburban women believe that President Joe Biden’s economy is in a recession. Seventy-four percent say his economy is headed down the wrong track, the poll outlined.

In contrast, abortion, the issue Democrats are most touting before the midterm election, is less relevant than the sagging economy. “It’s absolutely true that these women have shifted their gaze more on the economy than abortion,” Democrat pollster Molly Murphy told the Journal.

Overall, 74 percent of white suburban women said the nation is headed in the wrong direction. Sixty-five percent said so in August. --->READ MORE HERE
