Popular Post Social Media Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 President Biden's confidence in his political standing defies the dismal poll numbers that suggest otherwise, and this conviction is shared by many of his inner circle, insiders reveal. The significance: This isn't mere political posturing; it's a genuine belief held by Democrats close to Biden, shaping his campaign strategy despite mounting pressure for a course correction due to his lagging numbers compared to four years ago. According to them, public polling fails to accurately capture the depth of support for the president. What's happening: Biden is adamant, both publicly and privately, that he's making significant strides in popularity and is likely ahead of Donald Trump in their potential 2020 rematch. During a recent fundraising swing on the West Coast, Biden asserted, "The momentum is clearly in our favor, with the polls moving towards us and away from Trump," urging donors to see beyond media coverage. Earlier, when confronted with unfavorable poll data in a rare CNN interview, Biden criticized polling methodology at large, questioning the reliability of surveys. The latest polling in crucial battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin paints a bleak picture for Biden, with surveys indicating Trump's lead among registered voters. However, some national polls show Biden either ahead or tied with Trump, offering a glimmer of hope amid the gloom. Reality check: Biden often cites favorable polling data, emphasizing his strength among likely voters and downplaying setbacks among registered voters. He's well-versed in polling intricacies and often delves into detailed analyses. Despite public skepticism about polling accuracy, Biden remains upbeat, citing his come-from-behind victory in the 2020 primaries as evidence of his resilience. The broader context: Biden and his team have consistently felt underestimated by the political establishment and public polls, taking solace in his relatable "Scranton Joe" persona and his ability to connect with voters when it matters most. In response to skepticism, Biden's spokesperson emphasized the importance of the candidate's agenda and outreach efforts, expressing confidence in Biden's appeal to voters. While some Democrats worry about the Biden camp's apparent dismissal of unfavorable polling, Biden's team remains steadfast in its belief that voters will ultimately choose a return to stability over a resurgence of Trumpism. The truth will emerge come November, as voters cast their ballots and determine the course of the nation's future.

Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 That's what you get when you live in the Washington bubble for most of your life- a refusal to accept reality? Do I want Trump to win- only if Biden/ Harris are his opponents. So long as they are, I'm all in for a Trump victory in November. I don't know how the Dems machine can accept a man that can apparently barely walk without falling over, can't speak without a telepromter, and looks as presidential as a soggy small dog. America's enemies must be rooting for him to win for all they are worth, while having a laugh in at his latest misadventure. He's certainly alienating once upon a time allies in the Middle East, and his relationship with China is heading only downward. 4 1 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cryingdick Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 The problem is, the Biden admin keeps telling people everything is okay and their perception is wrong. That doesn't sell well when you need $100k to have the same lifestyle that took $65k not that long ago. Add to the fact that many minorities have had it up to their ears with being pandered to while they fill their schools, rec centers and motels with immigrants. The DNC is even afraid of their core constituents and are planning to have a virtual convention because they are afraid of what should have been their conventional base. is Biden in denial? No, he isn't self aware enough. He scoffs and laughs from behind his ice cream cone at even the slightest criticism. He seems to think he is some sort of old, tough guy cool, like Eastwood in the film Gran Turismo. the reality is he is so out of touch he needs every interaction scripted and the Easter Bunny needs to intervene at times to stop him from making a complete fool of himself in public. If he loses it will be in large part because of the minority vote that is feeling betrayed. 2 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he makes a mistake it will likely cost him the W H. Let's remember a certain GOP candidate that picked the wrong VP candidate and what happened to him. I liked her personally, but as a future VP, was just not going to happen. It's a pity that Pence is most likely not in contention. I thought he was an excellent VP. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, really hope his handlers can't talk him out of debating Trump. Without his teleprompter he'll be doomed, doomed I say. Perhaps sometime in the near future he will come out and say he needs a hearing aid ( so they can tell him what to say during the debate ). 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet my life there will be no debate. They are currently configuring the DNC convention so he will only give prerecorded, presumably heavily edited blurbs. He can't even show up at his own parties convention. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it must be odd to have to hide from those you want to vote for you. Biden and co. gave birth to and nurtured this type of radical lunacy. I am not sure I understand why the President of the United States and all of his cohorts would feel the need to hide from where did the shelter in place order come from and why is it needed? It's just peaceful protestors. Edited May 15 by Cryingdick 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hard to imagine the damage biden has done to America. 4 years ago it was good. You can still live in that in a low cost area if you are careful. I am counting taxes in the equation. If you have $60k after taxes you are doing okay. Remember that those making 100k with retirement obligations are only probably coming out of it with $5,000 a month. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hanaguma Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 Biden's big problem is that he has an opponent with a record as president. People can compare their life under Trump with their life under Biden. When they do, the answer is clear. Trump had 2% inflation, 2 dollar gas, 3% mortgages,and no wars.Biden can't compete with basic numbers like that. Housing up 40% in 4 years, mortgage payments up even more, car payments of $700 or more are not uncommon.... these are things people will vote on. 1 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
