Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

It's from NBC News...
Poll: 20-point deficit on handling economy highlights Biden’s struggles against Trump. The president’s approval rating has fallen to a new low in NBC News polling, as Trump narrowly leads in a 2024 general election matchup.

So instead of posting that, you posted this trash article? Why?
I read the one I posted first and then found you the NBC News source
How about waiting until you find a non-shit source before you post next time?
Here's the direct clip with Kornacki: https://twitter.com/MeetThePress/status/1754211558631084417
How about waiting until you find a non-shit source before you post next time?
Do you want to live in an echo chamber and only hear that everything is roses and butterflies in the Biden campaign? Or do you want reality?
I want you to post sources that aren't shit. Like the second one you provided.
Can you provide a list of these Flying Squid approved sources? Huffington Post, no. NBC News, yes.
I literally told you which source was a good source. It has nothing to do with being 'approved,' it has to do with your original source being sensationalist garbage that didn't even say who conducted the poll. Do you really not understand why that's problematic?
[an NBC person] “Over time, we have been testing for five years now, going back to 2019—a Biden-Trump match-up. Remember 2019, 2020 Joe Biden led. He led big in every single one of our polls. For the first time in November, Donald Trump pulled ahead in our poll. And now, at five points, this is the biggest lead NBC has ever had in 16 polls for Donald Trump over Joe Biden.”
It’s not the clearest, but the information is there.
Dude all you do is shit on Biden, and you find all sorts of dubious sources to do so. Are you sure you are left leaning?
I think it's fair to make people aware of what Democrats are up against here. There's an actual risk that Trump will return to the oval office if we don't show up to vote. And, unfortunately, Democrats don't show up to vote nearly as consistently as Republicans, so it's a real risk.
The Huffington Post reporting on a NBC News poll is dubious now?

Regardless you really have been on a Biden busting bender. Are you actually voting for Trump?
Nobody is allowed to be critical of our politicians? What is this gatekeeping?
No you can be critical, hell look through my history... But this type of "points" news is a known tactic to demoralize. However, if you are trumpeting for Trump, at least be up front about it so we can sort you properly.
The most idiotic part of this is the statement that it’s the lowest for an incumbent president since GWB. Guess what? Bush won reelection. The same thing is happening here. Biden is polling low, but will win. No one wants the dictator Trump in office.
W was the start of the current polarization era with Obama being the catalyst for the tea party chuds to pour fuel on the fire. With the current polarization, you’ll never see a president have the same sort of general approval or popularity we used to see.

Weird how the Quinnipac poll from Friday said the opposite. It's almost like the Media wants a horse race & you're a sucker for it.
There is a reason these polls ask how you feel instead of who you plan on voting for.
Also, +5 points? Nationwide Dems have been beating polls at the ballot box by +9 points since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Why use yahoo news?
It's all rehosted content, and for some reason freezes my phones browser like half the time.
I will not take any of these statistics until the real thing happens. They've done this bullshit back in 2020 and the result took most by surprise.
We've been ringing the alarm for awhile now, is it time to replace Biden to stop Trump?
With whom? Harris and Newsom both poll losing to Trump. Harris is less popular than Biden, and Newsom isn't an incumbent. Biden is the candidate in 24 for the same reason he was in 20. He's the best candidate to beat Trump.
The people "ringing the alarm" are out of touch socialists and anarchists, and more frequently, Republicans, foreign operatives, and grievancers who aren't voting anyway.
I would have loved to see a Sanders presidency in my lifetime. Well, it didn't happen. Fortunately, Joe Biden has proven a remarkably effective president under phenomenally difficult circumstances, and his bad numbers are less a product of his administration and more the result of record voter unhappiness and the stranglehold of Trump on US politics. That's not a problem that's solved by pushing a new candidate on stage, because any other Democrat is going to have the same baggage or worse, assuming they're not outright unelectable.
Hey, some of us out-of-touch socialists are voting for Biden anyway.
I'm an out of touch socialist myself, and I'll be voting for Joe Biden with my head held high. Point is there's a lot of sacrifice-the-good-for-the-perfect "left-wing" protesting on here that will suppress voter turnout by attempting to dampen enthusiasm for President Biden. Taking it at face value, it's coming from people who are unhappy he's not a European socialist; being a little more cynical, I find it hard to believe anyone who suggests we drop the incumbent mid-primary season doesn't have an ulterior motive.
My philosophy is that if you vote for the lesser of two evils, which some feel is what is going on in this election, the net result is less evil.

Unfortunately, it looks like it's too late now and we might get another Trump presidency. Great job Dems! Infuriating! Before you say "are you voting for Biden?" I'm in California and will not. My vote doesn't matter here. I'll still be voting for all the other local elections though.
"I choose to be part of the problem."
I don't think most anybody is ecstatic with either. The fly in the ointment is that these two parties are not beholden to the electorate at all - they run exactly who they please, and their 'primaries' are ultimately an at-will dog and pony show.
And yet no one can ever say who could/would replace him. Curious.
is it time to replace Biden
And by what anti-democratic process are you suggesting this be done?
