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.
I haven’t checked the internals on that poll yet, but I do have a strong suspicion they may have oversampled dead people - they’re pretty reliable as Democrat voters.
I don’t believe this poll either...
I favor DeSantis, but NR can go to h go to hell. To think I once subscribed! No way would Buckley not love Trump.
Don’t believe anything you read in the left wing democrat media, ANYTHING.
ANYTHING !!!!!
National Review today would be unrecognizable to William F. Buckley, Jr., were he to gaze down from Heaven’s scene.
Sometime since 1955, the “modern” conservative movement got “woke”, and lost their thread.
Not to mention trumps approval ratings this far in where double digits higher.
Doesn’t tds Steve Hayes run it or work there now? As well as other tds rinos?
Is Dominion running the polls?
Rich Lowry?
When does NR start backing McMuffin again?
C’mon man, he’s still ready to take Trump behind the bleachers . . .
Not sure who all works there- I thought Fred Barnes and Steve Hayes went there too? Maybe it’s another publication they went to, I could be wrong
Yesterday’s New York Times poll …LOL at Charles C.W. Kook.
Regardless, three polls all showing Trump and Biden within single digits of each other in a rematch. They both have records as President (rare that both candidates have that) and Biden’s is the worst ever yet Trump not up by double digits in any of those polls?
And Kamala beats DeSantis and Democrats are ten feet tall.

I saw that poll pushed all over the media. Kamala really beat DeSantis in what universe? LOL
” I met this pot-bellied facial Anus in 1996 at the Bob Dole GOP wing-ding in San Diego.”
Charles C. Cooke was 11 years old on that date and you say he had a pot belly.
Mr. Cooke was born in Britain on Nov. 4, 1984.
How cute. National Review still thinks it is relevant.
And National Review has stopped lying to us!

Oh remember their big article proclaiming how the J6 beetch saying Trump was raging throwing food and grabbing steering wheels was “devastating” for Trump and a BOMBSHELL.
If William F. Buckley Jr were still alive, he would be turning over in his grave.
