Thank you CB
You know Joe, last night President Biden sure had some
jokes for former President Trump.
But looking at this new CNN poll kind of seems
like the jokes on him.
Does it not I mean pulling this up this full
screen Trump versus Biden the opinion of presidency.
Trump 55% success. Biden 39%
success. And at this point in
the presidency, President Biden is the least popular commander in
chief in seven decades,
7 decades. Imagine that. So you're least popular than Carter,
and that's the last Democratic president.
Only have one term. You go deeper in this poll,
Trump's league goes to 9 points when you include RFK
Junior.
This is absolutely devastating because it's not just one poll
we're going to cherry pick out and say,
ah, see, this has been since October.
We see consistently Trump leading nationally but leading in all
those states that matter like North Carolina,
Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
and Michigan. And remember
20/16/2020? I went back and looked
Trump wasn't leading in any polls against Hillary Clinton,
and he won. He wasn't leading any polls with Joe
Biden,
and he nearly won. So what does this tell us
about
2024 overall? If Trump wins this presidency right,
you don't have to wonder what it's going to look
like like you would with any other challenger to an
incumbent.
Because we already saw what it looked like.
2017, 2018, 29. We had peace,
we had prosperity, and we had a relatively secure border.
I'm not including 2020 because COVID turned anything,
everything upside down. So if you want a preview of
Trump going forward,
he had the most successful three years,
2017 to 2019, of any president since Bill Clinton,
95 to 97. And that's why
I I think right now if the election were held,
he wins the presidency and he wins it easily.
Nicole. Well, but former president Trump is tied up in
all of these legal cases.
And Anita, you have former president Trump continuing to say
that not being out on the campaign trail is actually
hurting him.
But if you look at this poll,
Trump leads in presidential election match up with third party
candidates
42% Trump 33% Biden 16%
RFK junior. What do you make of that?
Well, I make of that that not being out on
the campaign trail is not hurting him at all
because, you know, what people are seeing is Trump tied
up in court every day.
All the networks are covering it
a lot. So they're seeing him and I think a
lot of people,
mostly his base, but maybe others are feeling sympathy for
him,
that he's stuck in the courtroom and can't be out
campaigning because like you said,
that poll shows that his numbers are not going down.
They're going up. And to the previous poll that you
mentioned,
that CNN poll, I just find that stunning,
that 55% of people who after right after January 6th
considered Trump's first term a failure,
now it's reversed. They think that looking back,
reflecting back in hindsight, they say well Gee,
that looked like a success compared to what we have
now.
I just find that stunning.
Well, I wonder what the Biden administration,
what they're going to be doing,
Jason, in terms of looking at these polling numbers.
Now that you have President Biden saying to Howard Stern
this week,
you know, he wants to debate and we haven't seen
the walk back from the White House.
Yes, but Jonathan Martin, Politico senior political columnist,
said on Meet the Press this
I'm curious for what Jen Saki's reaction would have been
like if she's still in the White House.
Would she hurt President Biden blurt out during a live
interview that he was going to debate?
Because Biden's folks don't want him to debate.
They don't want to give Trump that platform and risk
exposing Biden like that on national TV.
It is. Except I I was,
I was thinking if I was in my old job
from two years ago,
you also don't want him to say no because no
is weak and no is fear.
So you have to say yes.
They both have to say yes.
So do you think, Jason,
with these latest poll numbers that
Biden's going to move forward with that debate or not?
There's no way they're going to those puppeteers.
There's no way they're going to allow that guy out
on the stage to debate.
The big discussion in the White House was last week
was how are we going to get
Joe Biden to walk to and from the helicopter without
looking like the feeble old man that he is?
The cognitive capability of this president does not allow him
to debate those five people on MSNBC or whatever network
that was.
They all know that Joe Biden does not have the
wherewithal to go toe to toe with the single best
debater we have seen in Donald Trump.
There is no way they're going to let him do
that.
No, absolutely not. I disagree.
I think. I just think a debate would be highly
entertaining,
would
be great. I think it makes for great TV,
but we got to leave it there.
