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.

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.
