In what can only be described as a scene straight out of a political drama, the NBC crew, including Steve Kornacki and Kristen Welker, were visibly shaken as they reported on the latest poll numbers that spell trouble for Biden ahead of the 2024 election. It was like watching someone find out their lottery ticket was a dud, live on air. “We talk about the erosion for Biden and now you start to see it. Look at these numbers,” Kornacki said, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and fascination.
When it comes to dealing with inflation and the economy, 52% of respondents are betting on former President Trump, leaving Biden in the dust at 40%. That’s a 22-point swing towards Trump, folks. It seems people are starting to reminisce about the “good old days” when the economy was booming under Trump’s watch.
When it comes to necessary mental and physical health, Trump is leading with 45% of respondents feeling more comfortable with his cognitive ability compared to a meager 20% for Biden. It’s almost like saying, “Remember when we thought Trump’s tweets were our biggest concern? Good times.”
The poll also asked which candidate was the most “competent and effective,” and guess what? Trump took the lead again with 47%, while Biden lagged behind at 36%. Kornacki pointed out that this was a complete reversal from 2020 when Biden had about a 10-point advantage over Trump. Welker’s “wow” in response pretty much summed up the collective shock.
But perhaps the most telling sign of all was when voters were asked who has a better record as president. Again, Trump outpaced Biden, marking another significant flip from the sentiment in 2020. It’s like finding out that the sequel is actually better than the original – a rare occurrence but not impossible.
These numbers are more than just statistics; they’re a wake-up call for the Biden administration. Despite a massive spending blitz by Biden, the head-to-head matchup between him and Trump has narrowed significantly. In an attempt to counteract these dismal figures, the Biden campaign has been pushing “Bidenomics,” claiming Biden has “the world’s strongest economic” record. Yet, consistent polling indicates that voters are far from convinced, especially on issues like inflation and the overall economy.
In a desperate move, there’s even a new campaign ad claiming Biden is “sharp as a knife.” But if these polls are anything to go by, it seems like the American people might just be looking for a different kind of cutlery come 2024. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than ads. And right now, those actions – or lack thereof – are speaking volumes.
