Joe Biden Suffers Polling Disaster Against Donald Trump: '5 Alarm Fire'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A Bloomberg/Morning Consult survey found that Biden is between three and 10 points behind the Republican front-runner in November's race in Arizona (47-43 percent), Georgia (49-41), Michigan (47-42), Nevada (48-40), North Carolina (49-39), Pennsylvania (48-45) and Wisconsin (49-44).
In total, Trump leads Biden across all states on average by 48-42 in the poll, which suggests Biden's hopes of winning the next election are looking precarious.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former Trump White House communications director and a CNN commentator, said the results show "eye-popping numbers" for Trump in battleground states.
"This should be a 5 alarm fire for the Biden campaign," Griffin posted on X, formerly Twitter .
When the results are broken down further, nearly two-thirds (61 percent) of swing-state voters said Biden is at least somewhat responsible for the increase in migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, more than the 38 percent who said Republicans in Congress are responsible, or the 30 percent who said so about the Trump administration.
More voters in the swing states also said they Trust Trump to better handle illegal immigration than Biden, (52 to 30 percent), an increase from 5-point difference since the December poll.
The poll also shows that in every swing state except Michigan, a majority of voters said they've seen more immigrants over the last few years of the Biden administration.
However, the poll also suggests that Trump's multiple legal issues continue to loom over his latest White House bid.
According to the survey, more than half (53 percent) of voters in the seven key states said they would not vote for Trump if he is a convicted criminal by November's election, with 55 percent saying they would not if he is sentenced to prison.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to a total of 97 felonies across four federal and state investigations, with a jury potentially deciding his fate in four trials before November's election.
Trump has long denied all wrongdoing, and accuses each of the investigations into him as being politically motivated "witch hunts" which aim to stop him winning the next election.
The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll surveyed 4,956 registered voters in seven swing states. The surveys were conducted online from January 16 to 22.

Losing all seven swing states might be what finally gets Biden's handlers worried enough to start doing something on the border. It's not going to get better over the summer/fall.
Yeah, butt...
I know this is too complicated for a meme, but even if that were true, (it’s not) Biden already has all the authority he needs to take action, and people who don’t get their news from memes understand that,
Maybe the House GOP doesn't grasp immigration?
But did anyone consider a simpler explanation - that Republicans have no clue how our immigration system works?
Republican lawmakers have been holding up aid for Ukraine and Israel for months while seeking concessions on unrelated immigration measures. Yet after Democrats finally cried uncle, House Republicans said oh, just kidding. They don’t want this deal after all!
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and others now claim Biden doesn’t need new legislation to crack down on the border. Instead, they allege Biden can use his existing authority to reduce immigration by reviving all the executive actions that Trump had put into place.
“If [Biden] wants our conference to view him as a good faith negotiator, he can start with the stroke of a pen,” Johnson said.
There are a few problems with this claim. First, Biden has already issued more than 500 immigration-related executive actions, more than Trump announced over four years, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Biden has arguably exhausted the extent of his presidential authority, and so far his measures haven’t stemmed the tide of border crossings.
Second, if Biden hasn’t revived Trump’s specific policies - as Republicans urge him to do - that’s largely because so many Trump policies were found to be illegal.
Of the 35 major Trump-era immigration agency actions that faced legal challenges, 33 (94 percent) did not survive litigation - that is, either the court ruled against the relevant agency or the agency withdrew the action after being sued. These numbers are from the New York University Institute for Policy Integrity’s regulatory challenge database.
Even when Republican-appointed judges presided over such cases, Trump immigration actions were unsuccessful 90 percent of the time.
To be fair, one specific Trump-era program that Johnson wants to revive, informally known as “Remain in Mexico,” is the subject of legal cases that are still working their way through the courts. But any final court decision on this policy might not matter much.
Why? It’s unclear whether this program ever effectively deterred unlawful border crossings (though it did expose desperate migrants to rape, kidnapping, torture and other dangers). More important, the Mexican government has said it would not cooperate if the United States were to reboot the program, regardless of what U.S. courts decide.
Johnson has also demanded that Biden begin “renewing construction of the border wall.” On this policy, Biden’s obstacle isn’t executive authority exactly. It’s insufficient funding, says Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, policy director at the American Immigration Council.
Alas, House Republicans appear unlikely to fund it.
How do we know? Because last year, the Republican-controlled House passed a different (much more draconian) immigration bill, known as H.R. 2. This was basically a messaging bill, though lately Johnson has said it’s the only immigration-related legislation his chamber would consider. That bill would require Biden to restart wall construction, as set down in the fiscal 2019 appropriations bill, but it would not give any new funds that would be necessary to build the wall, Reichlin-Melnick says.
Similarly, Johnson has demanded that Biden end “catch and release,” which would mean detaining anyone waiting for their asylum claim to be heard in court. But there’s nowhere near enough funding under current law to provide that number of detention beds. Unsurprisingly, H.R. 2 provides zero new money for this objective, either.
In other words, the policies that House Republicans claim Biden can adopt “with the stroke of a pen” are outside his pen’s reach - unless Congress passes the bipartisan legislation that these Republicans refuse to consider.
Maybe Johnson and his GOP colleagues claim Biden can do things without lawmakers’ help because they want Biden to look feckless. Maybe they grew so accustomed to Trump’s lawlessness that they figure Biden should be willing to cross a line now and then, too.
But again, there’s a reasonably strong case that the problem here is incompetence.
After all, this week House Republicans unveiled articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his alleged failures on immigration. Unfortunately, these articles complain about measures taken by a completely different government agency - the State Department - which Mayorkas does not control.
Oops. Who can tell these Cabinet secretaries apart, anyway?
In Republicans’ defense, our immigration system is confusing. Lots of people don’t get it. Still, one would hope that politicians paid to understand these things - and who have made immigration a centerpiece of their 2024 campaign - might try a bit harder.
You are correct.
Besides the Republican House already passed immigration reform in 2023.
Leftists need to ask Schumer why he won't bring it to the floor of the Senate?
There are a few problems with this claim. First, Biden has already issued more than 500 immigration-related executive actions,
this should be in the dictionary as the example of disingenuous.
The House already passed their bill John see below post.
Ask Schumer why he hasn't brought it to the Senate floor.
Brandon caused this crisis; and now is trying to leverage into money for his family's bankroll in Ukraine.
Brandon has all the power and money he needs to secure the border and enforce our immigration laws as written.
Instead he is suing border states to try and keep them from doing the job he refuses to.
“Brandon caused this crisis; and now is trying to leverage into money for his family's bankroll in Ukraine.”
Absurd…
“Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.” ~ Annie Besant
I'm calling out your bullshit post John, show us this Senate bill, i know there is a bunch of ignorant mindless sheep in the Media bleating about this, surely one of these lying asshole can produce the Senate bill? right? or are they lying and you are simply repeating it?
To paraphrase a movie line....
Partisanship means never having to say you're sorry!
You think Brandon didn't cause the border crisis and crush of illegal immigrants entering this country?
As the video shows the illegals are simply following Brandon's instructions.
As for Brandon being a career criminal traitor. If he wasn't Wray, Garland, and Weiss wouldn't be so damn desperate to slow walk their investigations; and try to stall Republican House investigations. Garland went so far as to violate US law by appointing Weiss as special prosecutor.
Weiss is not outside of the US Government. He is the corrupt DA that tried to give Hunter a sweetheart plea deal while allowing the most serious of charges statute of limitations to run out.
Brandon still hasn't given a reasonable explanation why he allowed a Chinese spy balloon to traverse the US recording information on our military bases. He did lie by claiming flying jets under and around the balloon disrupted it's information gathering.
Also, I don't remember Democrats/leftists ever waiting for proof when charging Trump. They either manufactured the BS themselves (Hillary campaign paying for the fake Steele Dossier and then using their contacts in government to get it into the hands of the FBI/DOJ.); conducting investigations in the House barring Republicans from attending or asking questions to their hand picked witnesses (first Trump impeachment); just flat out ignoring impeachment rules (second Trump impeachment); or coaching hand picked witnesses behind closed doors to give scripted responses to preset questions for media consumption (Jan 6th committee).
At least Republicans in the House are holding open investigations. They have come up with more than enough evidence to prove that Hunter received money from foreign entities for access to his father. That he and his company funneled money to his father and family members (which is illegal) that was paid for said influence. That Hunter and Brandon's brother received money from Ukraine, Russia, China, and Middle Eastern countries. While offering nothing material for payment- other than access to Brandon.
Intelligent people know that the republicans have passed a border immigration bill, there is nothing stopping the traitorous piece of shit Biden from enforcing the border.
There's that projection . . .
Instead of the usual denial, why don't you educate yourself on H.R.2 which was passed by the House and is sitting in the Senate where they have done nothing with it. The House has passed a bill on the border and immigration which the Democratic majority Senate is refusing to take up. Can you determine why Schumer has not yet done anything with this bill?

Always defending the indefensible . . .
Speaking for your own actions again I see. I asked you to read the House passed bill and then discuss that. Instead you deflect away from that request. Speaks volumes.

No, not me, you, plus, why would I do anything you asked when all you do is defend the indefensible?
For some reason they think that if they don't read the link it absolves them from any part of their ignorance of the subject.
So another day ending in "Y" in liberal la la land.
Don't forget Trump's solutions to the Southern border...
yes you. I asked that you read a link, and not only did you refuse you defended not reading it when any such excuse is indefensible. If all you want to do is provide snark, it says much more about you than anyone else.
Why, because a meme says so?
Biden will win Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and it wont matter what happens in Georgia, Nevada , and Arizona.
If America puts Trump back in office, frankly it will be a level of shame we will never live down.
Speak for yourself
The owner shame deeper would be putting Brandon the career criminal traitor back in office- along with his hench people.
You spelled puppet masters wrong.
The people in his administration are serving another master- along with Brandon.
A master that never left DC after he term limited out in 2016.
So technically Brandon is a henchman as well.
Lol
Rip the children from their mother’s arms and throw them all in separate cages until they all starve to death. Trump style - easy peasy.
That was Obama,

The best thing the Republicans could do would be whatever they needed to in order to re-submit HR2 and start being very vocal about Schumers refusal to bring it up for a vote. Most people probably don't know about it and the media is ignoring it
