Biden Is Politically Dead, and Yet He Still Beats Donald Trump in the Polls (Barf alert)
National Review ^ | 12th July 2022 | CHARLES C. W. COOKE

Posted on 07/12/2022 7:49:57 AM PDT by Ennis85

On the homepage today, Rich writes that “for the good of the country, Biden shouldn’t run again.”

The same is true of Donald Trump.

In my view, there are many, many reasons for this — not least that Trump permanently disqualified himself from consideration with his behavior after the 2020 election. But, whether or not you agree with me about that, you can surely grasp that, as a political matter, Donald Trump is a spent force?

Yesterday’s New York Times poll sent shockwaves through the political world. It found that President Biden’s approval rating is at 33 percent; that “more than two-thirds of independents also now disapprove of the president’s performance”; that “more than three-quarters of registered voters see the United States moving in the wrong direction”; that “only 13 percent of American voters said the nation was on the right track”; and that “94 percent of Democrats under the age of 30 said they would prefer a different presidential nominee.” This is disastrous.

And yet:

One glimmer of good news for Mr. Biden is that the survey showed him with a narrow edge in a hypothetical rematch in 2024 with former President Donald J. Trump: 44 percent to 41 percent.

That’s right. Joe Biden is on political death row. And yet, in the same poll that has delivered his death warrant, he still beats Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. If Republican primary voters look at this information and decide to nominate Trump again anyway, they will have nobody to blame for the consequences but themselves.

I thought that I read somewhere that the Poll was taken among residents residing at 3888 Workman Mill Rd, Whittier, CA 90601

CHARLES C. W. COOKE ..... I met this pot-bellied facial Anus in 1996 at the Bob Dole GOP wing-ding in San Diego.

Reminds me of when I met Rick Santorum at a David Horowitz event in 98.

I shook his hand and stated how he was a great conservative.

After shaking my hand, he wiped it off on his suit.

“Based on a New York Times/Siena College poll of 849 registered voters in the United States from July 5-7, 2022”

So, basically this says that Democrats hate Biden, but would vote for him over Trump. What a shock. I need to sit down...

This is all they have now....try to convince everyone that Trump can’t win, so don’t try.

They’ve run out of ideas. They’ve run out of witch hunts. They’ve no candidates to beat him. They’ve obviously agreed that they all need to print stories about how “Trump can’t win”, “a spent political force”, and only has a “former base” that is no longer on board.

Expect to hear this for the next 2 years.

"The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points." --- So National Review says it is "good news" for Biden that he is at 44 to 41 vs. Trump? The MOE is slightly more than Biden's "lead" in this wacky poll!!!

National Review is a globalist, interventionist, cheap Labor Express propaganda publication.

I don’t blame people for being skeptical of Trump at the start but at what point do you admit you were wrong and just move on. Republicans aren’t going to (knowingly) elect another NeoCon so National Review is simply out of luck. They can go to the dust bin of history with the other Trotskyites

There’s a reason the obnoxious National Spew columnist Charles “Sharles” C. W. Cooke got kicked off Free Republic...

Richard Baris has Trump over Biden by five to seven points. Rasmussen had him up by 15. The “poll” you are concerned about was designed to support the latest all-media united rant - Trump is unelectable, the Rs are moving away from him, he is secretly despised by most Rs, etc. I wouldn’t believe a word National REview writes - a bunch of warmongering neocons who never served a day in the military.
