Look at this video from MSNBC. Yes, MSNBC, the left-wing and far less watched version of Fox News. Steve Kornacki breaks down how awful the Democrats are doing. Pretty much every demographic is going to Republicans here -- Men, Women, College educated, Hispanics, non-educated. The only demographic noted leaning Democrat are college-educated women, and even there, it is within margin of error. What did the Democrats do so wrong for the last year and a half?
I don’t know about the past. But I do know about the present or over the last year. Here the generic congressional ballot. You can scroll down to the graph.

It shows a commanding 48-41 lead for the Democratic congressional candidates over Republicans last June 2021. The Republicans narrowed that margin to a tie in November 2021, 43-43. Then the GOP congressional candidates now have the lead over the Democrats 46-42.
The main reason is independents. They have deserted Biden and company. Independents think the most important problem facing this nation today is inflation, rising gas prices, rising food prices, housing, etc. empty shelves in some stores. This problem is something that most independents think Biden and company has ignored. Biden and company’s priorities were elsewhere, their focus has been on Trump, the 1-6 hearings, the BBB, the voting rights act, other things while ignoring what independents ranked as this nations number one, most important problem. You can say, this is a self-inflicted wound. Look at question 17. Please tell me if you agree or disagree with the following statement: - Joe Biden is focused on the issues that are most important to me.
Strongly agree 20%
Somewhat agree 19% Total Agree 39%
Somewhat disagree 10%
Strongly disagree 49% Total Disagree 58%

That issue is inflation, rising prices. Not Trump, not the 1-6 hearings, not the BBB, not even the war in the Ukraine. You have this which explains it better than I.
CNN Poll: Majority of Americans say Biden isn't paying attention to nation's most important issues
From the article: The nearly 6 in 10 who say Biden hasn't had the right priorities is similar to the share who felt that way about Trump in September 2017 (59%) and who said the same about Obama in January 2010 (55%). Both presidents' parties suffered significant losses in Congress in the midterm elections held during the second year of their time in office.
One year out from the 2022 midterm elections, 58% of Americans say President Joe Biden hasn't paid enough attention to the nation's most important problems, as a majority disapproves of the way he's handling his job as President, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.

I'll add this, if one looks at the 2020 exit polls, the whole election results and not just the presidential, you will find that Biden and the democrats didn't have the support they thought they did. The exit polls explain it all, They show 2020 was an anti-Trump election, but not a pro-Biden, not a pro-Democratic Party nor even an anti-republican party election. A huge misread by the democrats. But that is for another day as I don't want to write a book.
