Biden Increasingly Frustrated By Dismal Poll Numbers
Real Clear Politics ^ | December 18, 2023 | yler Pager

In one recent meeting he said poll numbers were unacceptably low and he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it

Biden officials have grown accustomed to Democratic anxiety about their every move and the state of their campaign. They routinely point to comments made by lawmakers, donors and pundits who declared Biden’s 2020 primary campaign over when he was routed in Iowa and New Hampshire before he went on to win the nomination and the presidency.

But now Biden’s approval rating has tied his record low, standing at 38 percent with 58 percent disapproving, according to a Washington Post average of 17 polls in November and December. Voters, including a majority of Democrats, are particularly concerned about Biden’s age and consistently rank it as a bigger problem for the president, 81, than Trump, 77.

In the states, recent polls from CNN found Biden trailed Trump in Michigan by 10 points and in Georgia by 5 points. In early November, New York Times-Siena College polls found Biden trailing Trump in five of the six most competitive battleground states: Trump led Biden by 10 percentage points in Nevada, six in Georgia, five in Arizona and Michigan and four in Pennsylvania. Biden led Trump by two in Wisconsin. In 2020, Biden defeated Trump in all six of those states, though by very narrow margins.

...he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it...

This one statement tells all. He doesn't know, and he's supposed to know everything. He's supposed to 'lead' not 'follow'. He's supposed to 'drive' not 'ride'. He doesn't know what his own campaign is doing? beyond pathetique. ...........................

If Biden is frustrated with anything its he wanted banana pudding instead of butterscotch or his diaper is full. He has no clue about poll numbers.

From past postings here, there is an upper limit to the possible size of the cheat. IIRC, that number runs around 4%. Trumps leads are larger that the possible “margin of cheat”.

Mr. President, if I may offer a few words of advice.

Quit being a complete crooked asshole! You have nothing of value to offer.

“...concerned about Biden’s age and consistently rank it as a bigger problem for the president, 81, than Trump, 77.”


It’s not the 81 vs 77, it is how Biden appears. If Biden were 65 and regularly getting lost on a stage, losing track of what he is saying, and have trouble with numbers higher than 2 sensible people would be ‘concerned’.

Age affects different people differently. Through probably no fault of his own, Biden is obviously deteriorating before our eyes. No one would hire this man to run a coffee shop, yet they seriously think he is capable of running the nation?

Anyone with a modicum of sanity that calls themselves, “American” should outright despise this demented, communist bassturd with every bone in their body.

Well, I’m surprised a President who after 3 years still refuses to engage the press and have a real press conference has any support at all, it’s basically unheard of.

No doubt the Dems are feverishly working on novel ways to close that gap. All they need to do is get into recount territory, and then cover whatever deficit they need to win overnight. That said, it does look like their legerdemain won’t be as easy as it was before as more people are now aware of the convenient “irregularities” that ALWAYS benefit the Dems’ candidates.

Vidkun Quisling, the puppet president of Norway was also increasingly frustrated by dismal poll numbers.

This of course was before he was executed by firing squad at Akershus Fortress, Oslo, on 24 October 1945.

History repeats itself. /spit

“In one recent meeting he said poll numbers were unacceptably low...”

Now which “loyalist” leaked that to make Joey look bad? Was it Harris herself or does she have a supporter now?
