MSNBC, CNN, WaPo and more worry about Biden’s poll numbers, fret that he isn’t getting enough credit

In just the past month, liberal media networks such as MSNBC and CNN, as well as newspapers like Forbes and The Washington Post, expressed concern that President Biden was not seeing a bump in his poll numbers or receiving credit for his response to Ukraine and his impact on the "roaring" U.S. economy.

MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, on multiple occasions, attempted to paint Biden’s handling of the economy in a positive light despite record inflation, sky-high gas prices and poor poll numbers for the president.

During a March 1 segment on MSNBC, Todd pointed to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll which indicated 51% of registered voters believed the U.S. economy was in a recession or a depression. He also made note of a Washington Post/ABC News poll in which 75% of polled adults viewed the economy as not so good or poor.

Todd immediately defended Biden, claiming that Americans’ views of the Biden economy "do not reflect the job gains or GDP growth" that have been touted by the administration. Moments later, Todd claimed it has "never been easier to get a job."

After speaking with a panel of guests, Todd circled back to the polls and became visibly frustrated at the idea Americans believe the country is in a recession or depression.

"It’s just not true. This economy’s frustrating. This economy with COVID has been—I’ve got money and I can’t find something. But my God, there’s jobs, there’s good jobs," Todd said as he slammed his hands on the table.

Over on CNN, anchor Jake Tapper said that "one of the problems" Biden has is that he’s not getting credit for "even the things the public likes."

"It’s just a fact," Tapper added.

Sane people don’t give credit to one who is a pick pocket.

Credit for what? Crediting Biden is like a cancer patient crediting his cancer for losing weight so he looks good at his funeral.

How bad must it be with 93% positive coverage. Better than the last guy who had 93% negative coverage.

Credit? Credit for what?!

Jao Xi Den gets credit for destroying "faith and credit" in the U.S. Dollar.

Biden should get full credit for inflation, high gas prices, rising crime, the border invasion, and the war in Ukraine. There, I’m giving him all the credit he deserves.

What are Biden’s accomplishments that have made a significant contribution to America’s citizens?

This all ties together. Despite their best efforts ,the MSM has rendered themselves impotent. Bidens policies have wrecked the nation but the ability for the media to gaslight for him is eroded with every second that goes by... because the public in general has zero faith in the media. The leftist media has picked the wrong side almost every time. The two most untrustworthy group of folks time and time again are the media and politicians when they poll folks. Coincidence?

Once The Swamp decides that Joe's gotta go, the FAX will be sent to the White House

He and the missus will be shuttled over to their Dacha and the media will be informed as to the replacement they should now start promoting.
