Biden trails Haley, polling neck-and-neck with other Republicans

[Social Media]

A new poll from CNN is providing bad news for the White House and President Biden, who scores just a 39 percent approval rating a little more than a year before Election Day.

 

Sixty-one percent disapprove of Biden’s job performance in the poll, and his approval rating is down from 45 percent in CNN’s polling at the beginning of the year.

The poll also finds former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is the only GOP presidential candidate who is leading in a hypothetical matchup with Biden.The CNN poll, conducted by SSRS, found that Haley led Biden 49 percent to 43 percent, while every other major Republican candidate remains neck-and-neck with him. 

Those results are good news for Haley, a former United Nations ambassador under President Trump who is looking to build on a strong performance in the first GOP presidential debate late last month to challenge her former boss for the Republican nomination.

Haley is far behind Trump in polls of Republican primary voters, however, underscoring the uphill climb she faces.

Still, the CNN poll suggests she’d be a better general election GOP nominee against Biden than her competition — a potential talking point as she makes her case in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early primary and caucus states.

A couple other GOP candidates were ahead of Biden in the CNN head-to-head polling.

Early or not Haley has alot of promise. Finally a female that ticks off some boxes and would be a possibly awesome president.

Perhaps you could also find real promise from the same CNN source that currently has her behind Trump by 45 points. 7 to 52

Not trying to take away a person's dream. Most here are realistic.

For any candidate that rises to prominence, there is a sweetheart period before the attacks begin.

Well, I'll be sure to take a foreigners critique to heart. The staggering difference between harris and Halley when they speak should be enough to sway most Americans. harris is an embarrassment.

Clinton blasts Bush as "failed president'
Published Aug. 2, 1992

 

Bill Clinton on Saturday called President Bush the "failed president of a big country" as he sought to blunt expected Republican attacks on him as a "failed governor from a small state."

 

Republicans have been hitting the "failed governor" theme for months and the Democrats are expecting the Bush campaign to use it, perhaps this week as it launches its television advertising.

He was right. Bush was one of a very few presidents ousted after a single term.

You have to be joking. Governor is an executive level position, basically a mini-president. Governors in states like South Carolina literally have the power of life and death (since the state has a death penalty in their criminal code). Governors also control their own military forces (the state National Guard). It is a far more intense and demanding job than a bureaucrat serving UNDER a governor (such as Attorney General).

Yes. The 1992 George H.W. Bush re-election campaign mantra of calling Bill Clinton "The failed governor of a small state" didn't work.

I'm not sure that "elected official in a state that's bleeding population and tax base on account of poor leadership" is something to run on.  Especially AG, since crime is probably the number one reason for people fleeing to Red states.

Be nice to have someone qualified in the white house.

Doesn't matter their color, gender, or LGBQ status, as long as they are qualified.

You neglect the impact of Ross Perot’s candidacy in this particular election.

Never had an incumbent president with so few remaining marbles though.

 

Uncle Joes faculties are heading in one direction - south.

 

Surely he drops out, to run and risk a second Trump presidency would be the most catastrophic error of the twenty first century.

Ross Perot Often Credited for Costing Bush ’92 Election

AUSTIN, Texas -- It's been written and said more times than anyone can count that H. Ross Perot cost George H.W. Bush the 1992 Presidential Election.

 

"It would be a mistake to say the 19 percent he drew were all Republican voters who would have voted for Bush had Perot not been in the race," said Crocket.

 

"His presence in the campaign getting 19 percent of the vote in '92 demonstrated disaffection by a lot of people with both major parties. But he probably fairly drew evenly from both candidates,” said Crocket.
