A new poll shows President Joe Biden losing to nearly all major Republican candidates for President. But while a GOP Primary remains largely a dogfight between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, the Florida men fare worse than most against Biden.
CNN published an SSRS poll showing the Democratic incumbent underwater with voters, as 67% of Democrats say someone else should carry the party nomination in 2024.
The poll largely measured public opinion on the incumbent, and did so with an intentional over-sample of Republicans to imagine a strong GOP turnout.
But pollsters also posed hypothetical matchups between Biden and the top seven Republicans running against him.
Trump, the heavy front-runner for the nomination, holds a slim 47% to 46% edge over Biden, the man who unseated him as President in 2020. That’s firmly within the poll’s 3.5-percentage-point margin of error, a sign the contest could be a close one.
Trump performs better than Gov. DeSantis, who has repeatedly sold himself as a more electable candidate than Trump. The poll shows Biden and DeSantis tied with 47% apiece in the matchup.
The only Republican candidate Biden leads in the poll is biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. The President holds a 46% to 45% advantage over the political outsider, who enjoyed a bump in GOP polls after the first Republican presidential debate.
But while those three candidates continue to boast buzz with Republican voters, other contenders for the GOP nod perform much better against Biden.
Nikki Haley, a former Ambassador to the United Nations, holds the strongest position in the poll and leads Biden 49% to 43%.
Both former Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina hold a 46% to 44% edge on Biden.
And former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who largely has run as a foil to Trump, still has a stronger lead on Biden. That said, the 44% to 42% lead shows him with weaker support than any of his rivals, but he leads by eroding Biden’s base of support.

Good Mornting Land of The Free and Home of The Brave,
So its come to this:
Things are so “in the toilet” for the left that they have abandoned any attempt to put the lipstick of legitimancy on this “lying pig of a poll”.
Did they even bother to pretend this poll came from a made up legitimate sounding polling business or institution of higher learnimg?
No America, no they did not.
Rather than lying any longer and claiming the poll is from “The Esteemed Dook 4 Brains Leftist Univerisity of Dook 4 Brains Socialism Studies” the left is just going with it being a CNN poll.
A CNN poll, My Big ‘Ole 8UTT, said Earl Pitts American.
True words below:
Everyone on the left and the right Of The Entire Planet knows CNN puts out 98% lies and just 2% truth.

That’s the prevailing conspiracy theory – leftist dook for brains Soro’s backed super PAC dark money donors are donating to Ron DeSantis to keep him in the game for when Trump goes to jail, so he will lose to Biden, so you better donate and vote for Trump.
Brawhaha – Dark Brandon deep-state FTW!

Looks like CNN wants neocon Haley….Shocker. This article is a veiled attempt by CNNLOL to get Trump supporters to rationalize dropping their support for Trump. It ain’t going to work and Biden will be the guy dropping out because of his crappy indefensible record compounded by massive corruption!
