Washington Examiner, Elizabeth Stauffer, April 5, 2024. Spooked by the results of a Wall Street Journal poll released on Tuesday night that showed former President Donald Trump leading Biden in head-to-head matchups in six of seven battleground states, the Biden team took immediate action: They hired new pollsters. Wednesday the Biden campaign hired eight people, that are more political operatives than analysts, to take the lead of its polling operations. It’s clear these operatives will try to help make Biden seem competitive with Trump, despite the fact Biden is in the toilet. But considering that Democrat polls are already fake (please see recent Biden Politico Pennsylvania poll showing him 10% ahead), it's not clear what improvement they can make without being even more obviously fake.
The new hires arrived hours after an uncomfortable moment for first lady Jill Biden. Asked about the Wall Street Journal poll during an interview on CBS Mornings, she insisted: “[Biden is] coming up. He’s even [with Trump] or doing better. So, you know what, once people start to focus in and they see their two choices, it’s obvious that Joe will win this election.”
Is it?
The Wall Street Journal survey also asked voters which candidate was better equipped to handle the top issues. On the economy, 54% chose Trump compared to 34% for Biden. On immigration and border security, Trump prevailed by a margin of 52% to 32%. Asked which candidate had the “mental and physical fitness needed to be president,” 48% picked Trump and just 28% chose Biden. Naturally, voters felt that Biden was better able to handle abortion by a margin of 45% to 33%.
This is especially bad news for the Biden campaign, considering that, throughout the 2020 election cycle, Biden consistently led Trump in most swing-state polls. In early April 2020, Biden led Trump in the RealClearPolitics average of battleground state polls by 2.3 points. And seven months later, on the eve of the 2020 election, Biden’s lead stood at — drumroll please — 2.3 points. At no point during the 2020 election cycle did Trump prevail in this average. Now Trump is kicking Biden's ass and Biden has hired fake pollsters to do fake polling.
