      Biden’s been down in the polls all year. Even worse, he’s losing 5/6 of the battleground states that will decide this election.

      Why is he losing? The most important issue to Americans in 2024 is the economy. Vast majority of Americans feel they are worse off or the same as 2 years ago.

      Inflation & high interest rates hurt no matter how the administration tries to spin the numbers. Everyone is going to the grocery store and they see how everything is shooting up in price.

      Add to Biden not really being able to point to much he accomplished besides the infrastructure bill (which was significantly watered down by the time it passed) and his constant gaffes/ sleepy appearance in his speech…

      It’s really surprising he’s only losing by a couple %. It’s a testament to how unpopular Trump is. Trump was one of the most unpopular presidents in history. Biden somehow managed to be even more unpopular than Trump.

        2 years I can believe. 4 years is giant crazy pills (or more like human nature not really thinking about when 4 years ago actually was.

        Its not just the economy, its that he and his press secretary keep telling us we are not struggling, and that everything is ok. Despite us experiencing that things are not ok. It tells us our government is so out of touch with reality and they are not listening or care to listen.

        Then theres that whole genocide thing going on

    Majority of Voters Say Trump Guilty Verdict Would Not Impact Vote

    The May 2024 Emerson College Polling national survey of U.S. voters finds 46% support former President Donald Trump, and 44% support President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. Ten percent are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, the race splits evenly: 50% support Trump and 50% Biden.
