Joe Biden has been a horrible president.
Even now, with the Afghanistan report just dropping, and his administration coming under fire for all their failures, where is he? Out the door again, off early on a Thursday, so he can go to Camp David on yet another vacation for the Easter weekend.
We’re still some time away from 2024. But Biden can’t hide from the facts that even many Democrats don’t want him to run again.
Now, CNN has just dropped a new poll that even they think may spell doom for Biden.
“The numbers are beyond sobering for Joe Biden,” John King acknowledged. The poll shows that most people “have deep doubts” about Biden’s performance, and about the direction of the country right now. He noted it was still a long way to the election, but admitted, “They are still quite telling” about the mood of the people, “and the challenges facing the 80-year-old incumbent.”
They asked the American people if Joe Biden deserved a second term, and just about a third agreed. That’s a horrible number for him if he intends to run again. Just 32 percent said yes, and 67 percent said no. It was dismal when they asked about this back in December 2022, at 37 percent, but now it’s gotten even worse, as Biden has gotten worse and deteriorated more. What’s more problematic for Biden is that what’s driving that is young people and liberals who are unhappy with Biden, who you would think should be behind him, but aren’t. That spells big trouble, possibly in a general election that could be tight if he can’t even hold who should be his base.
Biden’s overall approval number is still underwater at 42 percent approving, and 57 percent disapproving. CNN broke down some of the major issues.
They explained he was “underperforming on a slew of issues,” and that he was underwater on several issues. His lowest approval was when people were asked about the economy and immigration, two issues likely to be critical when it comes to the election, especially with swing voters. His numbers on dealing with China were also underwater, with only 40 percent. So, he didn’t buffalo Americans when it comes to that issue; they saw, for example, how he handled the spy balloon problem, and they know of the Biden family is being investigated over its foreign financial interests, including with China.
Ironically, this poll drops just as the Afghanistan report comes out, as Biden’s numbers took a nosedive after what a debacle his withdrawal was, resulting in the deaths of 13 Americans, and no one has ever been held accountable for that failure that was so harmful. His numbers have never recovered.
These numbers are also likely to spark more Democrats jumping into the race and challenging Biden; it’s clear that Americans have no trust in him. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just filed to run as a Democrat, and that’s already making waves as the media starts to attack him. They are scared he may present a challenge to Biden and yes, open the door to more people.
Prepare for more media meltdowns, because with these numbers, expect those who had been holding back to jump in.
