Todayβs third NY Times installment about their most recent poll piles on the bad news for Biden: not only are you losing to Trump head-to-head, and are unpopular, but today we learn that more voters like Trumpβs policies and record better than Bidenβs.
Hereβs the graphic depiction:
Some excerpts from the Times:
And despite holding intensely and similarly critical opinions both of President Biden and of his predecessor, Americans have much more positive views of Donald J. Trumpβs policies than they do of Mr. Bidenβs, according to New York Times/Siena College polls.
Overall, 40 percent of voters said Mr. Trumpβs policies had helped them personally, compared with just 18 percent who say the same about Mr. Bidenβs policies. . .
Women are 20 percentage points more likely to say that Mr. Trumpβs policies have helped them than Mr. Bidenβs have, despite the fact that Mr. Trump installed Supreme Court justices who ultimately overturned the right to an abortion and that about two-thirds of women in America think that abortion should be legal in all or most instances.
In a separate Times story, the Biden message to doubting Democrats isβdrop dead. Well thatβs the headline the NY Daily News would have used. Instead the Times headline is:
βFor Democrats Pining for an Alternative, Biden Team Has a Message: Get Over It.β
. . . The Biden team views the very question as absurd. The president in their view has an impressive record of accomplishment to run on. There is no obvious alternative. It is far too late in the cycle to bow out without considerable disruption. . . Members of Mr. Bidenβs team insist they feel little sense of concern.
