On the homepage today, Rich writes that “for the good of the country, Biden shouldn’t run again.”
The same is true of Donald Trump.
In my view, there are many, many reasons for this — not least that Trump permanently disqualified himself from consideration with his behavior after the 2020 election. But, whether or not you agree with me about that, you can surely grasp that, as a political matter, Donald Trump is a spent force?
Yesterday’s New York Times poll sent shockwaves through the political world. It found that President Biden’s approval rating is at 33 percent; that “more than two-thirds of independents also now disapprove of the president’s performance”; that “more than three-quarters of registered voters see the United States moving in the wrong direction”; that “only 13 percent of American voters said the nation was on the right track”; and that “94 percent of Democrats under the age of 30 said they would prefer a different presidential nominee.” This is disastrous.
And yet:
One glimmer of good news for Mr. Biden is that the survey showed him with a narrow edge in a hypothetical rematch in 2024 with former President Donald J. Trump: 44 percent to 41 percent.
That’s right. Joe Biden is on political death row. And yet, in the same poll that has delivered his death warrant, he still beats Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. If Republican primary voters look at this information and decide to nominate Trump again anyway, they will have nobody to blame for the consequences but themselves.
Way too early to be obsessing on polls.
Think you got the wrong Charles Cooke, or maybe I did.
There is a political operative named Charles Cooke that puts out political comments framed in sketchy polls and numbers.
Someone else.
HHH died in 1978; he lost a primary bid for president to George McGovern in 1972.
I am glad the Bee didn’t buy the discredited NR. Both may be parody publications, but the Bee is funny. The National Review is just sad.
Laughable tripe from the NeverTrumper National Review.
seems that about 11% are mad at Joe because he isn’t commie ENOUGH!
or, its just a bad poll.
A New Yawk Slimes Poll? ROTFLMAO
So Trump is politically dead. Just like he was in 2016. Got it.
I can only assume this poll includes about 10% “secret sauce”, probably to correct for ballot fraud.
He’s also physically, Morally, and spiritually dead.
“Yesterday’s New York Times poll”
So, the national review now believes in polls by the New York times. Good to know.
National review has been irrelevant for sometime now.
Not surprised Santorum did that....he isn’t as well liked as some people want us to believe.
