it's time for this nightmare to end

Headline:

Joe Biden’s biggest problem is that his presidency is an utter failure

President Biden has suffered a collapse in his standing generally, but, fundamentally, it’s because so few people think he’s doing a good job that he’s in such a perilous state

Other than that, it’s going great. 

It’s hard to exaggerate how abysmal Biden’s polling has been lately. 

No incumbent president should ever want to be near 43% in a head-to-head ballot test.

Yet here is Joe Biden at 43% in the latest CNN poll, 43% in the latest Morning Consult poll, 43% in the latest Economist/YouGov poll and 43% in the latest Harvard/Harris poll.

(NB: Biden ticked up to 48 when Harvard/Harris pushed respondents to choose between Trump and Biden, and the Economist/YouGov poll had RFK Jr. in the mix.)

Detect a trend? (There are other polls that have Biden a little higher.)

It’s no mystery why Biden’s polling is at crisis levels

An incumbent president’s level of support in a re-election bid is typically tethered closely to his job approval.

It's not a presidency.
