President Trump’s approval rating is ticking upward. Should Joe Biden be worried?
The Chicago Tribune ( New York Times reprint) ^ | March 27, 2020 | Frank Bruni

Joe Biden watches from the far reaches of the upper balcony as he waits and waits to be declared the de facto Democratic presidential nominee and assume leadership of his party. The coronavirus has postponed state primaries, prolonged the contest, yanked him out of the news and left him in political limbo, where he wonders if Bernie Sanders will ever acknowledge defeat and shivers in the shadow of another Democrat, Andrew Cuomo, who didn’t even run for president.

Biden has, for the moment, been dealt a remarkably frustrating hand. Sanders is sending the signal that his battle presses on by calling for another debate. Sanders holdouts and Biden-skeptical progressives are undercutting Biden by circulating videos of his most awkward recent interview moments, a pattern of behavior vividly documented by The Washington Post’s David Weigel. In his terrific newsletter “The Trailer” he noted that an MSNBC clip of Biden “was featured on ‘Rising,’ the Hill’s populism-branded morning show, in a segment titled ‘Biden CRASHES AND BURNS in multiple TV appearances.’ ” One of the show’s hosts, Krystal Ball, said to viewers, “Just ask yourself, is that the man that you want leading this response and this crisis right now?”

Bob Kerrey, the former governor of Nebraska and senator, told me “The longer this goes on, the more likely (Trump) gets reelected.”

If crazy uncle Joe had any kind of grip on reality he would be seriously concerned. His campaign manager has got to be defecating masonry.

Biden is sounding more an more like he might possibly have dementia of some kind, Should Joe Biden be worried?

Why Yes, yes he should- IF Biden gets numbers close to Trump’s then all i can say is wow- Liberals must not care what kind of person they vote for- By all rights, Trump should trou8nce biden given that biden is out in left field somewhere, AND involved in shady dealings through his son, or at least aware of them and covering up- but sadly many liberal Americans would rather someone as ill prepared to be president as biden is than give Trump any credit at all

How could anyone tell?

Biden was pretty goofy, odd and mentally challenged during his salad days.

I swear Obama selected him as Vice President because he acted as a “bullet proof vest.” Nobody was going to take out Barry in order to see plagiarist Joe succeed him. Obama wasn’t gaining much by locking down Delaware’s three electoral votes.
I think poseur BO also liked a Veep who made him look intelligent in comparison.

“Should Joe Biden be worried?”

Joe Biden should be concerned that Joe Biden can string a dozen words together to make a coherent sentence ... so should the DNC ... actually, the DNC should be mortally panicked regarding the incoherence of their flagship Presidential candidate ...

After signing off on the added 2.2 trillion, including the 2.1 trillion in dem goodies not needed for the virus) I am much to my surprise no longer a Trump fan. I guess that was also part of the dems plan, to anger conservatives so much they won’t vote for him. Well, at least in my case, it worked! Joe Biden now stands a chance of winning for the first time. If Trump keeps this up there will be a landslide like he is predicting, only for the dems and not the RINOs Party.

It has been since this crisis started. Most Americans trust him to try and do the right thing.

Biden should be worried about Cuomo - his replacement.

Hey a disaster worked in our favor for once.

This virus Killed Biden’s chances in their tracks.

He was doing ok for a few minutes.

Wasn’t gonna win but was doing ok.

Trump has the spotlight Every Day.

And though I don’t agree with the amounts or where they are going in some instances, people love them some money!

He’ll surge even more

I can't see a way Joe Biden is ahead in the polls, but on the latest 535 podcast they said he was ahead of Donald Trump by Six points.

You can create any poll numbers you want by slanting the question and asking the right people.

Trump is going to burn Biden to the ground.

I doubt if they let Biden run against Trump.

I think the DNC is going to bend Biden over and give him a big old Bernie Sanders screwing.

Face it - Biden’s real problem is that he is senile.

And nobody loves him enough to pull him out of the embarrassment.

The filth on the left wants Trump to fail, meaning that millions of people die, just so they get a democrat into office.

The Fox News poll out yesterday has Biden ahead by 9 points and even more in so-called swing districts. What is Fox’s agenda?
