This is the current polling for Biden across the country as of today according to https://www.racetothewh.com/biden.
This is very very bad. He is on par with Trump in terms of net approval.
Yikes. Even after everything Trump did, Biden has done such a bad job getting his message out and working with Congress that he is slightly below Donald Trump in approval polls. He has failed to give his supporters anything to latch on to, and for the relatively small wins we saw in Build Back Better they were overshadowed by the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan (which happens to be when his approval dropped 15 points in 2 months), the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the failure of the United States to provide Ukraine sufficient support to repeal the fascist invaders, and now with the onslaught of Gaza which is just further alienating voters who he needs to win in order to win the presidency, particularly people of color, Biden is looking likely to lose the election next year.
Biden should just not run. I know there is only a month to go, but at this point, his defeat is all but certain except if there is an absolute miracle in his approval rating over the next year.
His polling is on par with where Donald Trump was at the end of 2019. He is less popular than Richard Nixon was in 1971. The only two presidents who compare to his polling numbers at this point in the first term are Trump and Carter. Every other president since Harry Truman has better polling numbers than Biden does now.
If we check betting pool odds Trump has been leading Biden since September.
Trump led a mob to attack the Capitol building. The Democrats should be beating him handily. The President should have been able to make a case so clear that he is better than that absolute traitor over the last year that it shouldn’t even be close. Biden has failed to do this very basic task.
This election should be a slam dunk for the Democrats, but under Biden, it is not.
Biden passed Build Back Better which included some good marginal wins. But on top of this abortion is now outlawed by the Supreme Court in many states. While this is not Biden’s fault, he will get the blame for it from voters. We abandoned Afghanistan to the terrorists, Biden is one of only two Presidents in history to ever truly lose a war, the other is Nixon. He has failed to defend Ukraine. He has supplied Israel with as many weapons as possible which are being used to kill civilians in Gaza. His losses far outweigh his wins.
An important part of being a politician is you need to provide as many reasons for people to vote for you and make as few decisions that anger your base as you can. Biden has routinely done the opposite. Biden has routinely given voters reasons to not like him, with an unhealthy and delusional obsession with compromise with people who want our country to fail, along with losing wars, while also his wins have been so marginal and gradual that there is no big win that is making people’s lives better that he can point to which undermines his failures in Ukraine, Israel, and Afghanistan. He has given everyone something to hate. This is a terrible way to run a country, but a great way to lose elections.
Trump should be buried by anyone the Democrats nominate. Biden has very little charisma and many of his policies are out of touch with what the majority of his voters want. We are seeing this in the polls now.
There are plenty of Senators and Governors who would be able to easily beat Donald Trump.
Biden should not run for reelection.
