Joe Biden has been in trouble as he tries to figure out how to alter his sliding numbers. He’s frustrated even that his numbers are worse than those of President Donald Trump. As NBC noted, “He’s now lower than Trump, and he’s really twisted about it,” another person close to the White House said. He also thinks Democrats aren’t defending him enough.
Biden is supposedly upset that his people are undercutting him, but his people respond, “We don’t say anything that the president doesn’t want us to say.” In other words, what Biden is saying now — or what NBC is spreading out there to try to make him look better — just doesn’t add up.
That’s the problem when it comes to Biden; that’s why the polls are continuing to crash: because no one believes that Joe Biden knows what he is doing and they believe all the issues that we are having to deal with can be laid right in the lap of his confusion.
It isn’t getting any better for him.

In December the poll showed a poor 37% approval and only 5 states had Joe Biden above water in their approval.
Only three states approve him, and Hawaii is the only one that has a majority of approval. He’s underwater even in California at 42/46.
Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey explains how numbers have changed in these critical midterm states since April. Biden’s home state of Delaware has seen his numbers slip.
Arizona: 32/59 was 35/57
Colorado: Colorado: 38/52 was 40/51
Connecticut: 38/50; was 42/48
Delaware(!Delaware(!
Georgia: Georgia was 31/58.
Minnesota: Minnesota was 39/52 and 41/50
Ohio: Ohio: 29/61 was 31/60
Oregon: Was 41/47?
Nevada: Nevada 33/58 was actually 35/57
Virginia: 3rd 55th, 37/53
Washington State: Washington, 42/48; was 44/47[….}
He’s still seen favorably by black voters overwhelmingly (75/17) and barely by Hispanic voters (48/45), but that’s it. Biden is viewed negatively in the personal lives of majorities across all age groups. Non-college and college voters also see Biden unfavorably, except post-grads who rank him somewhat less favorably (46/48). A plurality (44/49) of women see Biden as unfavorably. This is bad news for Democrats, both in the 2024 election and in 2020 if Biden does run. And again, only five states give Biden a favorable ranking, one of which — New York — is only 47/46 on Biden personally.
It’s no wonder that he and the other Democrats have been throwing tantrums at each other when they see the numbers. That’s a message for disaster and I’m not even sure he’s hit the bottom yet. Joe is a great example of this. He always finds a way to get lower, as he has demonstrated. That’s why I think the prediction from Cook Political Report of a pick-up in the House of 20-35 seats is very conservative and I’m inclined to think it’s going to be much higher, given all these other numbers. It’s not a wave, but a tsunami coming.
