What’s Happening:
Joe Biden is intent on running for a second term. And it appears the liberal establishment is behind in. It doesn’t appear that there will be much of a Democratic primary, despite Robert F. Kennedy Jr. polling at 30% or higher in some polls. Democrats are determined to keep Biden in office, no matter what.
But they might think again after they see these numbers. We know Americans largely blame Biden for the many problems hammering our country. But it appears after the Maui fires, growing inflation, poor jobs report, and more promises to enrich Ukraine, it is only getting worse for Joe.
From CNN:
Views of Biden’s performance in office and on where the country stands are deeply negative in the new poll. His job approval rating stands at just 39%…
Seventy percent say things in the country are going badly, a persistent negativity that has held for much of Biden’s time in office, and 51% say government should be doing more to solve the nation’s problems.
This is a CNN poll, mind you. A liberal outlet might have cause to “fudge” their numbers to help a Democrat. But not even CNN is able to paper over the bad news. Biden’s approval is a dismal 39% according to the liberal outlet. And 70% of voters say things are going badly for the country.
Voters are also worried about Joe’s age. And Democrats want an alternative to the 80-year-old leftist. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But the real trouble comes when Joe’s matched with his GOP rivals.
From The Hill:
The poll also finds former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is the only GOP presidential candidate who is leading in a hypothetical matchup with Biden.
The CNN poll, conducted by SSRS, found that Haley led Biden 49 percent to 43 percent, while every other major Republican candidate remains neck-and-neck with him.
Biden is not in good shape, come re-election. He is neck-and-neck with most Republican candidates. But he is actually trailing Nikki Haley by 49-43%. That is the biggest gap according to this poll.
A winning incumbent should be beating his rivals by at least five to ten points. But even in these liberal polls, Biden is far from winning. The fact that all the top Republican contenders have a strong chance against Joe tells us the primaries are far from over.
What we do know for sure is, Democrats better find someone to replace Joe.
Key Takeaways:
- Joe Biden is facing serious problems for 2024, according to new polling.
- Only 39% of voters approve of his job. Seventy percent say things are going badly.
- All GOP candidates are neck-and-neck with Biden; Nikki Haley is beating him 49-43.
