Joe Biden’s historically low approval numbers find him in the weakest position of any incumbent president since Jimmy Carter.
Biden isn’t in a position to say no to anyone at the moment.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sealed Joe Biden’s doom with one demand he can’t refuse.
Brand-new swing state polling from Bloomberg and Morning Consult shows Donald Trump leading Joe Biden by significant margins in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
New Bloomberg/@MorningConsult poll of Trump-Biden matchup in swing states:
• North Carolina: Trump +10
• Nevada: Trump +8
• Georgia: Trump +8
• Wisconsin: Trump +5
• Michigan: Trump +5
• Pennsylvania: Trump +3
• Arizona: Trump +3 https://t.co/k7BJ9HzYJl pic.twitter.com/zNeoIPJSuq— InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) January 31, 2024
These results line up with other swing state polls from The New York Times and Siena that find Trump riding a path to a comfortable Electoral College win in November.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has some thoughts on how Biden can turn around his sagging poll numbers.
During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Ocasio-Cortez ordered Biden to double down on moving left to whip up enthusiasm among the left-wing base to turn out in November.
One issue Ocasio-Cortez suggested Biden lean into is support for Hamas by calling for a ceasefire in Israeli military operations to wipe out the terrorist organization following the October 7 attack where jihadists murdered 1,200 innocent Jews.
“When it comes to President Biden, you know, I think we need to really focus and understand young people are a very strong part of this electorate. We have a diverse coalition in the Democratic Party that has its own concerns. Whether it is what’s happening in Gaza, or any other number of issues. But right now, I think November is going to be about the coalition we put together and the policy promise we can make between now and then,” Ocasio-Cortez began.
Ocasio-Cortez also suggested that Biden turn the November election into a referendum on abortion saying Biden should make “codifying reproductive rights” the central message of his campaign to voters.
This advice is driving Biden into a box canyon.
Bloomberg and Morning Consult found the two most important issues to voters in the seven battlegrounds were the economy and immigration.
The internal poll numbers showed dire prospects for Biden.
61 percent blamed Biden for the border crisis.
52 percent of voters trusted Trump more to secure the border compared to just 30 percent for Biden.
The poll showed 51 percent put their faith in Trump’s ability to handle the economy while only 33 percent said the same for Biden.
53 percent reported that the economy was better off under Trump while only 33 percent said the economy performed better on Biden’s watch.
And 51 percent told the pollsters their financial situation was better under Trump and just 30 percent said they were better off under Biden.
Ocasio-Cortez demanding Biden spend the campaign talking about Hamas and abortion will only further serve to alienate him from swing voters who view Trump as the candidate who addressed the issues they care most about and made their lives better.
It’s a recipe for disaster.
