The Democrats are cheering over a slight bump in the polls for Joe Biden, with the latest New York Times-Siena poll showing him statistically tied with Donald Trump at 45% to 46%. However, this good news for Democrats quickly fades away when looking at the battleground states where Biden continues to lag behind Trump, with a recent Wall Street Journal poll showing Trump ahead by up to eight percentage points in six of seven crucial states. Additionally, Trump seems to have the upper hand when it comes to the economy and foreign relations.
Despite Biden claiming that his presidency has been good for America, the polls indicate otherwise, with voters favoring Trump’s presidency over Biden’s. On the topic of democracy, Biden also falls short, tying with Trump on whether they are good for democracy. Biden faces criticism regarding his age and effectiveness as a president, with a majority of registered voters agreeing that he is too old to be an effective leader. Immigration and foreign conflicts are also areas where Biden has received disapproval from voters.
Biden’s last hope seems to be his stance on abortion, however, Trump has countered this by stating that abortion issues should be left to the states since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. The economic gaslighting that has come from the White House seems to have backfired, with nearly 80% of voters rating economic conditions poorly and a majority disapproving of Biden’s handling of the economy. Despite claims of bringing down inflation, the reality of rising prices at grocery stores and gas pumps has caused skepticism among voters.
Signs are showing that Biden’s self-delusion regarding his presidency may be coming to an end. A recent panel of undecided voters on MSNBC expressed dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of the economy, with all participants agreeing that Trump’s economic policies would be better for their families. The panelists criticized Biden for not taking accountability for the economic issues and accused him of gaslighting the population. The criticism of Biden’s economic policies has caused a sense of panic on MSNBC.
Democrats are pinning their hopes on a criminal conviction against Donald Trump in the “hush money” case involving Stormy Daniels, led by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. However, the case has been described as a farce, with Bragg facing criticism for turning an uncharged misdemeanor into 34 felonies while neglecting more serious crimes. Despite the ongoing legal battles between Trump and Democrats, the polls continue to show support for Trump over Biden in several key areas, indicating a challenging road ahead for the Biden administration.
