Biden’s Polling is Bad in 2023: Could it Get Worse in 2024?
Voters are taking out a myriad of frustrations, real and imagined, on President Joe Biden in the polls.
“Joe Biden Is in Trouble,” as John Della Volpe put it last month for the New York Times.
How much trouble is a matter of much debate in the press.
“How Much Is Biden’s Support of Israel Hurting Him With Young Voters?” wondered Nate Cohn for the New York Times on December 19. “Donald Trump leads him among those 18 to 29, a new poll shows.”
“For the first time, Mr. Trump leads President Biden among young voters in a Times/Siena national survey, 49 percent to 43 percent,” wrote Mr. Cohn, gravely. “It’s enough to give him a narrow 46–44 lead among registered voters overall.”
“Usually, it’s not worth dwelling too much on a subsample from a single poll, but this basic story about young voters is present in nearly every major survey at this point,” Cohn noted sadly.
Losing young Democratic Party voters over dissatisfaction with President Biden’s stance on Israel is only one of the many gauntlets the beleaguered incumbent President is facing.
Worse, perhaps, House Republicans are closing in on filing articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden.
