The political strategist who propelled Joe Biden into the vice presidency in 2008 has suggested the president should consider exiting the 2024 race after another brutal poll.
David Axelrod pointed to Sunday polling from The New York Times and Siena College that shows the 80-year-old trialing behind Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
'Only Joe Biden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party,' Axelrod said on X, formerly Twitter.
'What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it's in HIS best interest or the country's?'
The poll of 3,662 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin was conducted between Oct. 22 to Nov. 3. The margin of error for each state is between 4.4 and 4.8 percentage points.
Biden is ahead only in Wisconsin, by 2 percentage points, and falls to Trump in the five other states by margins of four to 10 percentage points among registered voters, according to the poll.
Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania were four of the states the Democrat beat then-president Donald Trump in during their 2020 White House face-off.
Axelrod, who is known for his work on former President Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns and served as a senior adviser in his administration said of the data, 'This will send tremors of doubt thru the party--not 'bed-wetting,' but legitimate concern.'
'Yes, there also is risk associated with changing course now, as there is little time left for a primary campaign--and campaigns are how we test candidates.'
'Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws and institutions or democracy should be disqualifying. But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore,' he said.

Another bunch of bull from the left, it is not Brandon,it is his left wing policies. It is the left now owns the Democrat Party, and will forever. Americans won’t stand fo it. WE REFUSE TO LIVE UNDER LEFTIST TYRANY IN THE LAND, THE ONLY LAND OF GOD GIVEN FREEDOM!
One DNC sock puppet is about the same as the next
Talk about unhinged! Axe apparently can't observe or think his way out of a paper bag!
That's what it's all about, isn't it?
Hello Guvnor Hair Gel! Is this mofo a slickster or what? The US mass media can turn this pig in a poke, into the best Governor California ever had.
The Axe is just prepping the field for the last-minute candidacy for Big Mike.
Why should it matter with all of the cheating?
‘Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws and institutions or democracy should be disqualifying. But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore,’
Oh, so we just continue to let the Government destroy the American way of life. You know what? I’m voting for Trump, the only one that cares about the people and the country. F-you Axelrod .
Hey Axeldumnrod! Biblical Constitutuonal Republic!
As an Arizona resident, I am pretty sure Biden or whoever is the Democrat nominee will win Arizona by at least 10 points.
You mean people dont like Death to Jews Pedo Joe?
At this point I’ll vote for anyone who’ll vow to kick out ALL of the illegals in this country.
I don’t think Trump or anyone else has the courage, or will be allowed to do that, however.
.
Joseph Burden owns too many agencies and too many lieutenants.
He’s placed too many people in strategic positions over his 50 years of Govt.
Agencies that overthrow other Govts are loyal to Biden.
Surely the Election Fraud Crew that stealthily guaranteed Brandon a victory in 2020 is rested and ready to roll again in 2024.
The BLM “movement” had a hell of a party in Summer 2020, safe in the knowledge that the election was in the bag and they had a hall pass on the down low to misbehave as they saw fit with no risk of handing Trump a “W”.
Why this public hand-wringing now? Is 2024 not also in the bag?
oh dear. where else will they find such a malleable reliable Obama acolyte, i wonder. Joe accepts orders from the Great Obama so willingly and smilingly in return for complete stonewall of press and lemming Dems and Deep State on his years of corruption - AND days at the beach 40%% of the calendar year. not too many around who will perform so ably for the O-man. oh dear!
Fox News sure got the memo on Arizona on election night in 2020. They fell all over themselves to call the state for Dark Brandon.
I don't think Obama's man in a dress actually wants to run, but he'll be pressured to, as long as it's a coronation and he doesn't have to campaign at all.
Can you imagine the glory that Operation [Censored For Modern Sensibilities] II would be, if successfully pulled off by the Bad Orange Man in 2025-2029, and hopefully a happily hand-picked Almost As Bad Orange Mini-Me in 2029-2033? The blow struck in favor of our culture and the rule of law?
