President Biden is trailing Donald J. Trump in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the 2024 election, suffering from enormous doubts about his age and deep dissatisfaction over his handling of the economy and a host of other issues, new polls by The New York Times and Siena College have found.

The results show Mr. Biden losing to Mr. Trump, his likeliest Republican rival, by margins of three to 10 percentage points among registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Mr. Biden is ahead only in Wisconsin, by two percentage points, the poll found.

    There's an insane amount of cope in the MSM that genocide Joe isn't going to eat shit in the general. He's actively alienating demographics that typically vote Dem but probably won't be nearly as inclined to vote after four years of "Nothing will fundamentally change, but come on Jack give me another term" biden-troll

    I honestly thought that Biden would scrape out a win prior to the escalations in Palestine, but yeah he's a goner. This, plus the continued economic doldrums plus the resumption of student debt payments plus the clear failure of the war in Ukraine means that he is sunk.

      Then Trump will get in and further escalate Palestine, further continue economic stagnation, keep student debts and continue the war in Ukraine. So great to have choice in this beautiful nation.

      Calling it now, dems will try to cope by attempting to smugly tell Trump "we let you win. We felt sorry for you."

      But we just need to get Mayor Pete in there to explain everything since he’s so well spoken and then everything will be fine. /s

      Yeah, I doubted Biden would beat Trump again but thought maybe there was a possibility. But, now, there's just no fucking way. Bibi just bombed their run for a second term like Biden was a hospital of refugees.

      Even Zelensky is seeing the writing on the wall by inviting Trump while Biden is still in office. Ice fucking cold.

    SMH the NYT isn't properly following their style guide. The headline should say "Biden Reportedly Harmed by Rhetorical Blast, Times/Siena Poll Suggests"

    Black voters — long a bulwark for Democrats and for Mr. Biden — are now registering 22 percent support in these states for Mr. Trump, a level unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times.

      Remember when he really tried looking Charlamagne the God in the face and said "If you don't know whether you're for me or not, then you ain't Black"? 'Cause I remember that shit every day; and I'm about ready to trade in my melanin for pure, 93 octane high-unleaded SPITE.

      Yes they will

        Democrats are about to find out about wealthy black Americans and the West African diaspora.

          I can see it now, these types with the same shit-eating grin on their face after their party becomes completely irrelevant at the federal level.

          I know better than to expect anything different, but democrats will learn nothing from this and be perfectly content for the GOP to feed them their next periodic table scrap of relevancy to make sure the dems get blamed and not the GOP.

    I can't wait to drink vodka like a fucking fish again during Trump like I did in his first term.

    Having a constant reason to drink is a great consolation prize.

    if biden is ahead in wisconsin it is only because the state republican party is particularly devastatingly corrupt.

    Damn, I wonder if four years of sitting on your ass is part of the reason why. Unironically they have more than earned their nickname of "do nothing democrats".

    Enjoy your brunch while you can, libs.

    I keep mentally pronouncing "Joever" as "Jo-ever" and I've experienced a lot of momentary confusion as a result.
