ANALYSIS – We are still one year out from Election Day, but you know things are looking incredibly bad for Joe Biden and the Democrats when The New York Times is admitting Biden is underwater in the polls and Donald Trump is beating him across the board, but especially in key states.
Even with local and federal judicial systems weaponized against him, indictments and gag orders, Trump's electoral popularity is only growing. And even America's liberal paper of record can't hide it anymore. (RELATED: Judge Threatens To Throw Trump Off Witness Stand In Business Fraud Trial)
Are we headed for a Trump Electoral College landslide victory for Trump? Maybe.
Axios reported:
If the election were held today, former President Donald Trump would easily beat President Joe Biden with over 300 electoral votes, according to a new swing state poll from The New York Times and Siena College.
Referring to the old (as in prior version, not elderly) Biden, who was supposedly a ‘broadly appealing, moderate Democrat (rather than just ‘not Trump'), the Times acknowledged that:
There aren't many signs of his old electoral strength in a new set of New York Times/Siena College polls of the six states likely to decide the presidency. Trump leads Biden in five of the six states — Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan — which would likely be enough to give him the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Biden leads in the sixth state, Wisconsin.
And Trump isn't just ahead by a slim margin, he” leads by at least four percentage points in each” of the five key swing states.
Now, we need to clarify, the Times insists that these “striking results seem to be more a reflection of Biden's weakness than Trump's strength,” adding that Trump is “just as unpopular as he was when he lost the election three years ago, if not slightly more so.”
How that works logically, I don't quite understand. (RELATED: New Poll Reveals 9-Point Lead For Trump In Pennsylvania)
And the Times explanation only partly helps:
…the change is the public's view of Biden. During his time in office, attitudes toward him have turned decidedly negative. In the last election, voters judged him to be more likable than Trump, to have a better temperament and to have a more appealing personality. Those advantages have largely disappeared.
Instead, voters say they are concerned about Biden's handling of the economy and about his age. More than 70 percent of registered voters in the battlegrounds agree with the statement that Biden is “just too old to be an effective president,” up from around 30 percent in the run-up to the last election.
Axios reported that swing “state voters said they trust Trump over Biden on the economy by a 22-point margin, 59 to 37 percent,” and that “Trump and Biden are effectively tied among voters under 30 — a large shift from 2020.”
But Biden isn't just losing support across the board, he is losing it big time among young minorities. And that could signal a big shift for future elections.
Biden appears to be especially weak among young, Black and Hispanic voters. In a major departure from recent electoral trends, he and Trump are essentially tied among 18-to-29-year-old voters, even though young voters have tended to back Democrats by a wide margin in recent cycles.
While the Times tries to put lipstick on a pig by saying there is still hope for Biden, it admits it's not much hope.
It notes: “Nearly half of registered voters (49 percent) in the battleground states say there's ‘almost no chance' they'll support him, an indication of the depth of their dissatisfaction.”
Apparently, half the country is telling Biden not just ‘No,' but they are saying ‘Hell no!'
