Hector and Mike discuss the Washington Post story that President Joe Biden is frustrated by his horrible poll numbers (38 percent approving of his job performance, 58 percent disapproving) and demanding
answers and a plan. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/18/joe-biden-polls-campaign/
Mike discusses how, for months, the president and first lady Jill Biden have told aides and friends they are frustrated by the president’s low approval rating and the polls that show him trailing former president Donald Trump.
More from the Washington Post Story: We’ve further
seen remarks by the Obama-whisperer,
David Axelrod, to the effect that President Biden should consider bowing out of his reelection bid — and then more recently adding that the president’s record-low approval rating is “very, very dark” news for his campaign.
And just this weekend, we found an unidentified source “familiar with [former President Barack
Obama’s] thinking” telling the Wall Street Journal that Obama knows the presidential race is going to be “close,” “feels the Democrats very well could lose,” and worries that “the alternative” — Donald Trump — “is pretty dangerous for democracy.”
NBC News: All come from Democratic strategists whose low-boil frustrations with Biden’s candidacy erupted over the weekend amid bleak polling numbers. No less a party mastermind than David Axelrod, architect of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, suggested in a social media post that Biden consider dropping out of the race and letting someone more electable take his place as the Democratic presidential nominee.

How bad are things? Harris has a higher
approval rating than Biden: The Monmouth University survey showed the 81-year-old Biden receiving just a 34% approval rating — the lowest in the poll’s tracking of his administration and down 20 percentage points from its peak in April 2021 — and a 61% disapproval rating.
Harris fares a little better, but her 35% approval rating and 57% disapproval rating are positively glowing marks compared to her boss.
