A Washington Post-ABC News poll has found that President Biden is struggling to gain approval from the American public. Dissatisfaction is growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, and there are concerns about his age as he seeks a second term. The poll also suggests that Biden and former President Donald Trump could face a rematch in the 2024 election, although more than three in five Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they would prefer a nominee other than Biden.
Biden’s advisers argue that he is the strongest Democrat for 2024, as there is no consensus among those who wish for someone else. The poll shows Biden trailing Trump by a massive 10 percentage points.
In his bid to become the Republican presidential nominee for a third time, Trump is in a strong position nationally, despite facing multiple criminal charges. He is favored by 54 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is second at 15 percent, and no other Republican reaches double digits. Trump also leads his GOP rivals in recent state polls. The poll also asked about accountability for both Trump and Biden.
Fifty three percent of Americans say Trump is being held accountable under the law like others, while 40 percent say he is being unfairly victimized by his political opponents. Regarding the impeachment inquiry aimed at Biden by House Republicans, 58 percent of Americans say Biden is being held accountable, while 32 percent say he is being unfairly victimized.
Biden’s overall approval stands at 37 percent, with 56 percent of Americans disapproving of his performance. His approval rating on handling the economy has dropped to 30 percent, the lowest of his presidency. Concerns about inflation persist, and the public’s perception of the economy, gas prices, and food prices remains negative. On immigration, 23 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, while 62 percent disapprove. The poll also revealed significant demographic variations, with Trump leading among men, voters under age 35, and those who say they did not vote in 2020.
The poll was conducted from September 15-20 with a random national sample of 1,006 U.S. adults. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Well, there is, of course, the cheating to consider.
Still too early, I think Biden going to Detroit might be a part of a campaign move to being changing his appearance and history.
The pollsters must have decided they didn’t want to perish in a nuclear conflagration after all.
Massive? Trump had a 20 point lead over Biden in Georgia and look how that turned out. It doesn’t matter what his lead is, if nothing is done about election integrity Biden will “win” again. And RINOpublicans ARE doing nothing.
Look at this Covid BS, once again just like 2020 they are bringing back Covid during an election year and of COURSE they are going to use it to change election laws to their advantage and RINOpublicans will once again sit around and go “Duuuuuuh”
Well, we may consider that that appearance is going to have a very staged optic and also that Biden can’t seem to go anywhere without making some silly gaffe on one scale or another and he could do something like that at the event.
A cynic might also suspect that the Dems just might have a more appealing candidate in mind, and will wait until the time at which Joe can pretend a reason to exit the race, with little time for the Dem voters to have input in a (haha) "democratic" primary.
Just my guesses, the Dems and I don't talk.
Because they use the same techniques to cheat in their primaries - and dare not risk exposure due to Mutual Assured Destruction.

Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.
Shame is being badly managed in this country. It is directed at the wrong people for all the wrong reasons.
Well. There’s still mail-in voting, hackable voting machines, fraudulent votes, and ballot stuffers and cheating counters.
I hope Trump has good security, because the left will try anything to keep him out of the White House.
If they admit to ten points it must be bigger than that.
the party will choose the candidate
you know
to strenghten democracy
Yup, and Kennedy might not be on the “ins” with the swells.
How many FRAUDULENT VOTES equates to a 10% lead? Joey already has those votes in his pocket.
i am neither anti-Trump or anti-DeSantis, so I take little comfort in the posts of those who disdain either of these men.
What I am concerned about is the utter LACK of attention election integrity is getting from ANY (including Trump) of the GOP candidates.
Trump went from something like 62,000,000 votes in 2016 to 74,000,000 in 2020. Trump increased his percentage of votes by nearly 20%, and yet the fake news industry wants us to believe he LOST...because, by some miracle, the basement dwelling Biden got nearly 25% more votes than Shrillary Clinton did in 2016. (If you believe the media the Demon Rat candidate got 65M votes in 2016 and 81M votes in 2020. riiiiight.)
There is nearly zero chance that happened, folks.
And while it is tiresome to hear Trump gripe all the time about it, it is even MORE tiresome to know that neither HE, nor DeSantis, nor Haley, nor the national party apparatus, nor MOST of the state GOP legislatures have done ANYTHING substantial to ensure election integrity in 2024.
And don't count on federal law enforcement or the judiciary to come to the rescue.
We are in a spiritually dark place in this nation. God gave us a reprieve in 2016, and we better repent and pray for one in 2024. Without it, we have little hope.
It could easily happen that the Democrat powers that be switch out Joe Biden for someone else.
There is a big group of so-called super delegates at the convention who are not officially pledged to any candidate.
And then, if we go through the upcoming primary season where Biden has little or no opposition, and wins the bulk of delegates, and after all of those primary elections are held Joe drops out, then all of his pledged delegates at the convention would become free agents.
We could find ourselves next May or June where Biden is the presumptive nominee based on delegates won during the primary season, but then at that point Joe decides not to run for reelection. Then the upcoming Democrat convention would have no presumptive nominee. It could be a wild convention if this happens.
If Joe drops out before all these primaries start , up then we could see if you have a presumptive nominee based on the primary results.
But if Joe exits after all those primaries are held and he has all those pledge delegates that suddenly are free to vote for whomever,, all bets are off.
