Biden said to be increasingly frustrated by dismal poll numbers

These polls are just his approval ratings, right (sorry, can't access the article), not a measure who is willing to vote for him in 2024? Yeah, people don't approve of you backing Israel when it's indiscriminately killing civilians and committing war crimes. Surprise, surprise. Doesn't mean they're going to vote for Trump over you, Joe, don't worry.

Seriously though. Can we stop pretending like being 81 isn't a liability? And a reasonable concern?

If Democrats had brains, they'd run a buff, tall white guy with progressive policies and a hot wife. Fascists follow strength and heteronormative values, so? Just use it against them. Trump only looks strong next to an 81 year old dude with a speech impediment. All love to Biden, but hang 'em up, bro, damn.

Guy can't let go of the game even though the game let go of him.

I feel like, in this highly politicized environment amplified by misinformation, echo chambers, and the horrors of social media, no incumbent president will ever again crack 50% approval

It's Israel, stupid

This is me caring about horse-race corporate news articles.

Did you hear about her emails?

Well, to be fair he did steal the presidency from Bernie Sanders and doom us all to pre-fascist neoliberal hell

Condoning genocide and telling us we are doing great when we can see we are not might be impacting those numbers. He needs to drop out. And Dems refusing to demand their party offer up someone else are complicit when trump gets reelected

Polls don't mean shit, they're wrong constantly and shift on a dime. Just write some good fucking policy and focus on the people

It is worth pointing out that a number of state democratic parties have declared the only primary candidate will be Biden. Others are denying some combination of candidates from being on the primary ballot opposing Biden.

So that kinda sucks, and something people should be aware of: attempts are being made to force Biden as the candidate by the party.

Well, Zionism is the new Nazism.

Maybe he should denounce Zionism.

If I were to show a poll that indicates people hate heavy metal, but my poll criteria involved camping out next to opera houses, college theater groups, and retirement homes with the questions "would you rather watch a production of Lion King: The Musical or Corpsegrinder" I've technically polled multiple places, with multiple age groups and multiple ethnicities and backgrounds, but it's a very heavily skewed poll because of how I went about filling those.

Which is basically a long winded way of saying poll numbers rarely mean shit, Go Vote.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

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.

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.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), who is running for the state’s open Senate seat, has expressed concern to allies that she may not be able to win her race if Biden is at the top of the ticket, according to people familiar with the conversations.

Adding to the challenging political landscape, Biden’s agenda hangs in the balance on Capitol Hill as his pleas to provide more aid to Ukraine and Israel are mired in partisan battles after the visit from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky failed to secure a breakthrough.

They routinely point to comments made by lawmakers, donors and pundits who declared Biden’s 2020 primary campaign over when he was routed in Iowa and New Hampshire before he went on to win the nomination and the presidency.

Only recently, though, have Biden officials started to scale up the campaign, which they launched in April, after months of warnings from top Democrats in battleground states that they were too slow to build out their operation.

The original article contains 1,575 words, the summary contains 247 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

support americans instead of genocide and your numbers will improve. this thing where you treat votes as a necessary evil and your real mission is to allow the wealthy to plunder the globe and murder the inconvenient has become really clear in the last few years.

Could legalize weed today and announce single payer plan that just needs house and congress control to pass. Could sweep the elections. But won't. Best he can offer is alienating supporters with weapon bans.

Hasn’t there only been a single ‘one term’ president in about 50 years? (Trump). I just can’t see how a bloke who lost the last one of going to find new votes given the charges he is facing. Seems like clickbait

Hard to post something less relevant. Thanks for contributing.
