As both parties gear up for the 2022 midterm elections, Republicans continue to dominate poll after poll. Democrats are running out of angles to run on, and a new Gallup poll is giving them even fewer options.

Gallup found that respondents believe the GOP can better protect the United States from international threats than the Democratic Party by a margin of 54%-39%. The GOP typically leads in this polling metric, but it increased its margin from last year’s 50%-46% lead. It’s the biggest gap in the party’s favor on this question since 2015, likely thanks to President Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal (with Americans still trapped in the Taliban-controlled country).
