Joe Biden is in very, very serious electoral trouble.
A brand new set of polls from Emerson Polling finds that Donald Trump is currently up five points in Pennsylvania, five points in Georgia, one point in Michigan, four points in Arizona, three points in Wisconsin, and six points in Nevada.
In other words: a Donald Trump blowout.
Biden’s team is trying to pretend that all is well and fine, but CNN’s Harry Enten said that the polls are actually worse than they have been for any Democrat since the year 2000. That’s how bad these polling numbers are.
In an interview yesterday, Enten stated:
Right now Donald Trump leads in an aggregate of national polls by about three percentage points. If you go back four years ago at this point, Joe Biden was ahead by nine points. This, right now, [doesn’t] look anything like what we saw four years ago at this point. … The idea that the polls underestimated Joe Biden last time around, simply put, does not hold any water.
He continued:
So, the idea in the Trump era that the polls have underestimated Democrats, whether it be in a Joe Biden matchup, whether it be a matchup against Hillary Clinton, whether it be in the midterms, at least in the national polling that right now shows Donald Trump in his strongest position, simply put, is not true. If anything, the polls have underestimated Republicans during the Trump era, especially in the presidential races in 2016 and in 2020.
The stonewalling and the excuse-making from the White House? None of it is working. And Biden is not going anywhere.

On Monday, Biden put out a letter on his intention to accept the presidential nomination, writing to his fellow Democrats:
I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump.
I have had extensive conversations with the leadership of the party, elected officials, rank and file members, and most importantly, Democratic voters over these past 10 days or so. I have heard the concerns that people have – their good faith fears and worries about what is at stake in this election. I am not blind to them. Believe me, I know better than anyone the responsibility and the burden the nominee of our party carries. I carried it in 2020 when the fate of our nation was at stake.
I also know these concerns come from a place of real respect for my lifetime of public service and my record as President, and I have been moved by the expressions of affection for me from so many who have known me well and supported me over the course of my public life.
I’ve been grateful for the rock-solid, steadfast support from so many elected Democrats in Congress and all across the country and taken great strength from the resolve and determination I’ve seen from so many voters and grassroots supporters even in the hardest of weeks.
I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally: I wouldn’t be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024.
That’s because he is delusional; his brain no longer functions and he is blocking out all outside interference and voices at this point.
He continued, writing:
We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process.
He didn’t have an opponent, so there’s that.
This was a process open to anyone who wanted to run. Only three people chose to challenge me. One fared so badly that he left the primaries to run as an independent. Another attacked me for being too old and was soundly defeated. The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the nominee of the party.
Do we now just say this process didn’t matter? That the voters don’t have a say?
I decline to do that. I feel a deep obligation to the faith and the trust the voters of the Democratic Party have placed in me to run this year. It was their decision to make. Not the press, not the pundits, not the big donors, not any selected group of individuals, no matter how well intentioned. The voters – and the voters alone – decide the nominee of the Democratic Party.
All those voters voted before Biden basically had a mental collapse on stage with Trump, of course. But he’s not leaving. He’s telling you that he is not going away. But how exactly is Biden going to recapture the magic with the base?
There’s one outlet he knows he can trust. One place where everybody knows his name. And that, of course, is on “Morning Joe” over at MSNBC, his favorite show.
Joe Scarborough, who, just a few days ago after the debate, said that perhaps it was time for Biden to reconsider staying in the race, is back on the bandwagon, and he says the Dems should stop calling for Biden’s ouster.
On Sunday, Scarborough tweeted, “Joe Biden can now say he’s having to fight: Media elites. Billionaire donors. Washington politicians. Hollywood moguls and MAGA extremists. Biden allies will likely mock these elites for wanting to substitute their judgment for that of millions of Democratic primary voters.”
There’s a big problem with that particular argument, which is that the Democratic base is significantly less comfortable with Biden, according to polls, than the Democrat elite.

Yesterday, Mika Brzezinski defended Biden’s performance in an interview with George Stephanopoulos: “It’s not like it’s the first time he flubs his words.”
So Biden called into “Morning Joe.” And this was a big moment for MSNBC, the magic moment where Biden had the friendliest reporters to him on planet Earth speaking with him.
The first thing Biden did was make a bad joke about Donald Trump golfing. And then it started to get a little worse because, again, Biden can’t keep with it. He obviously had notes right in front of him, and he was actually reading from the notes. In fact, at one point during this interview as he read from the script, you could hear him fumble with the papers.
But even with Joe and Mika, he couldn’t keep it under control. He was asked why he wouldn’t take a cognitive test. (Biden doesn’t want to take a cognitive test. He’s going to fail. That’s the problem.) So he started protesting about how he doesn’t need tests; he has been testing himself.
“It drives me nuts, people talking about this,” he said.
Biden was then asked about how he could assure he wouldn’t have a night like the debate again. He started rambling about how people can’t be sure they won’t get hit by a car on their way to work.
It all ended with some shouting, which is what you want from an old man — shouting at clouds.
At the very end of this interview, he started yelling how he’s frustrated by the elites in the party. He started ripping into the elites because that was his cue from Scarborough. And then he started bristling, “Challenge me.”
I love Joe Biden ripping the elites. That dude has been in Congress since he was 29-years-old. He’s now 8,211-years-old.
By what standard is he not an elite?
