Biden's "Very, Very Dark" Polling Has Democrats Panicking

A recent Monmouth poll showed that only one third of Americans approve of Brandon's job performance.

One third!

Only one-third of Americans gave President Biden a thumbs up on the job he is doing in the White House, according to a new national public opinion survey.

The president stands at 34% approval in a Monmouth University poll released on Monday, with 61% giving Biden a thumbs down on his job performance.

The president's approval is at an all-time low in Monmouth polling since Biden took over the White House nearly three years ago.

Americans questioned in the survey gave the president particularly low marks for his handling of immigration (26%) and inflation (28%).

"The Biden administration keeps touting their infrastructure investments and a host of positive economic indicators. Those data points may be factual, but most Americans are still smarting from higher prices caused by post-pandemic inflation. This seems to be what's driving public opinion," Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, highlighted. "There is political danger in pushing a message that basically tells people their take on their own situation is wrong."

Murray spotlighted that "there is certainly an element of partisanship in how people frame their own financial situation, which is based in part on who occupies the White House. But even a good chunk of Biden's Democratic base wish he'd start paying more attention to their top priorities than he is now."

...

The release of the Monmouth poll comes two weeks after the president stood at 37% approval -- an all-time low -- in a Wall Street Journal survey. However, a new Fox News national poll released on Sunday indicated Biden's approval rating at 43%.

Ah, Fox News' Hillary-Clinton-supporter-run polling operation. Never change, Murdochs.

Biden stands far below where his three most recent two-term predecessors -- former Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama -- stood at this point in their presidencies, as they successfully ran for re-election. The only recent president whose approval ratings were nearly as negative as Biden's current numbers was his most recent predecessor, former President Trump, who was defeated by Biden in the 2020 election.

Gropey Joe and his cheap floozy of a nursewife are sad about the poll numbers.

President Biden is complaining to close aides as his low approval rating continues to frustrate him and first lady Jill Biden, according to a new media report.

"After pardoning a pair of turkeys, an annual White House tradition, Biden delivered some stern words for the small group assembled: His poll numbers were unacceptably low and he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it," The Washington Post reported.

"He complained that his economic message had done little to move the ball, even as the economy was growing and unemployment was falling, according to people familiar with his comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation," according to The Post, whose headline noted Biden's "dismal poll numbers."

The Biden family's complaints date back months, with Joe and Jill Biden telling "aides and friends they are frustrated by the president's low approval rating and the polls that show him trailing former president Donald Trump," the report continued.
In recent weeks, both Joe and Jill Biden have "grown upset that they are not making more progress."

...

[Former Congressman Conor] Lamb said that Democrats are in "a state of paralysis" over how to help Biden's campaign.

Aggro Democrats are starting to get bossy about third parties, demanding they exit the field so that their old rapist has a clearer path to victory.

Jim Messina, a former top aide to former President Obama, claimed that a "third-party candidate can't win in 2024" and might guarantee former President Trump does.

"With a rematch between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump almost set in stone, it's time to put a farce to rest: The notion that a third-party candidate could actually win the presidency in 2024," Messina wrote in an op-ed for Politico.

"No Labels is pushing a dangerous lie that would simply serve to put Donald Trump back in the White House," he continued. No Labels is a third-party group founded by former Connecticut senator Joe Lieberman, a former Democrat who became an independent.

...

"While a third-party candidate can't win, No Labels could still throw the election to Trump, and it wouldn't take that many votes," Messina wrote, explaining that the past two elections indicate that Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin may again swing the election for President Biden or Trump, the current favorite to be his Republican opponent.

"A No Labels candidate in these states could easily hand the election to Trump," Messina wrote.

...

"The people at No Labels know better than this," Messina continued. "It's time to cut the crap, believe the data and be honest with the American people. Any well-funded third-party candidate would be a disaster for our republic -- and risks putting us on a direct path to a dictatorship."

At PJ Media, Vodkapundit writes that some Democrats have changed their position from "don't panic" to "yes, panic."

"Panic is entirely warranted," Roosevelt University's David Faris warned in Slate on Tuesday. "This might be the worst polling environment for an incumbent president one year out from an election since the advent of the polling era," according to Faris, "and also the most dire situation facing any Democratic presidential candidate in decades."

When the lefty author of "It's Time to Fight Dirty: How Democrats Can Build a Lasting Majority in American Politics" says it's time for Democrats to panic, then it's time for Democrats to panic. Presidentish Joe Biden's reelection chances are shuffling aimlessly around like Joe at the end of a speech.

...

The best-case scenario for Dems is that Biden -- for the good of the country, you see -- steps aside at the Democratic National Convention this summer and graciously allows his replacement to be selected by the will of the people. And by "will of the people," I mean a handful of Democrat bigwigs will secretly meet in a vape-filled room and pick California Gov. Gavin Newsom or some other deep blue state governor.

I mean, yes, that's exactly what's going to happen. It's now too late for a primary entrant to register and get on the ballot in enough states to beat Biden, so he will withdraw just before the convention and allow the delegates there -- the party hacks -- to just choose the candidate.

Which is the system the Democrat Party really wants, anyway.


James Antle writes about the growing panic.

Patience or panic. Those are the competing impulses among Democrats as the reality sets in that if the election were held today, President Joe Biden would probably lose to former President Donald Trump.

The election is not today but rather nearly a year from now. Democrats counseling caution are quick to note that the polls forecasting Biden's doom this early out are not predictive by historical standards.

...

Prominent Democratic operative and analyst David Axelrod, who remains close to former President Barack Obama and is reflective of Obamaworld thinking, has warned that Biden has no better than a 50-50 shot at reelection.

"But no better than that, maybe a little worse," Axelrod told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. "He thinks he can cheat nature here, and it's really risky. They've got a real problem if they're counting on Trump to win it for them. I remember Hillary doing that, too."

Axelrod previously mused on X, formerly Twitter, about Biden giving serious thought to whether he should continue to pursue a reelection campaign.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman went a step further than Axelrod.

"I think Biden's done a lot of good things. But I think his legacy will not be a good one if he is the nominee," Ackman told Bloomberg Television. "I do think the right thing for Biden to do is to step aside and to say he's not going to run and create the opportunity for some competition."

Part of what is driving this sentiment is that Trump is, in their view, so manifestly unfit to serve that no viable Democratic nominee should ever trail him.


Yet Biden is 1.9 points behind Trump in the RealClearPolitics polling average. The sitting president also trails Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by 0.8 points and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley by 4.

Trump only led Hillary Clinton in national polls five times in 2016. He's done so 29 times this cycle.
