Kornacki: New poll shows Biden’s debate performance reinforced concerns about his age

Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by two points in a New Hampshire, a stark contrast to 2020 when Biden won the state, says NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki. Democrats are facing a challenging decision on the path forward, complicated further by Vice President Harris’ weak favorability numbers.

I'm telling you right now that if you guys go down this path of replacing him then it is going to cause a lot of Democrats to fraction off for Kennedy. I think you'll see him go from something like in the range of 8 to 10% up to somewhere in the range of 14 to 16% and potentially even a few points higher than that.

[@GabeSmith-p7j]

Let’s break it down. Poll after poll on the actual issues show most Americans care about 1.) Economy, 2.) Border Security, and 3.) crime. The 4th and 5th top issues for most Americans flip between abortion, democracy, and foreign affairs. But consistently the polls show those top 3 issues being what majority of Americans care about the most. And those same polls show Biden is STILL underwater on those issues. So when you factor in people’s concerns about Biden’s mental decline, that obviously doesn’t help. We won’t even get into Biden’s own base being split on many issues, to include the Palestine/Israel conflict. So even if Biden was a “young spring chicken”, he would still be struggling against Trump. So Democratic leaders can try to hide Biden all they want, it’s not gonna help.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Correct, they're going deep on the abortion thing but frankly nobody cares about that, it's not in ANYBODY'S top 3, and for Republicans it's not even in the top 5 issues.

As opposed to the guy(Biden) who was accused of Graping a woman? A guy who is on video stating that he told Ukraine he'd withhold aid from them if they investigated the company his son works for? The guy who had top secret documents all over in his home when he never even had clearance for those documents in the first place? The guy who is referred to in so many of his son's emails in his corrupt business deals? Hunter was smart enough to not name his father directly, but you'd have to be naive to read those emails and not understand Joe was helping Hunter to broker those illegal business deals. They're both crooks. Both Trump and Biden. The difference is, Biden is part of the mainstream establishment and is off limits. Trump though, they've been out to get him since the beginning. It's no coincidence they waited until he decided to run until they threw all of these cases at him. Unfortunately for us all it's going to backfire on them. It looks bad. It looks like a witch hunt. And although I'm not a republican, I can see why they see it as one. Many presidents have done illegal and shady things. Biden especially. But generally Presidents and former presidents have been off-limits. But Trump they went after because they were too afraid to take him on fair and square. They'll never prosecute Biden. He could murder a woman on video with his feeble old hands and they wouldn't do anything to him.

Biden has stood up against SCOTUS ruling the president has immunity, and has done nothing to abuse that power.

[@beebuzz959]

Look at the last election, t-rump saying before it occurred that supposedly the "Democrats are trying to steal" the election. He also said "only if he didn't win" would it be "stolen". Well, what did he do to try and stop that? Nothing. Where's his evidence? He has none because he din't think the lie through enough and nobody has asked him. But he brags about everything and would brag if he tried anything, about "how great" he is. He did NOTHING. He actually lost over 60 court cases that most didn't even go to trial because he couldn't bring anything forward to show there was any "theft". And he said the whole time, that it "only:" took place in areas he lost. how convenient.

[@beebuzz959]

Look up what t-rump did the whole time during Jan 6th instead of calling for backup. Pelosi, I looked it up and you should too, but she was only one of the several people in charge of OKing things ahead of time, and she had NOTHING to do with security after it. She was 3rd in line to be able to do anything because there's a pecking order that must be followed. You can't undermine the president unless there's probably cause to do so. So everyone tried to get t-rump to do something. He wouldn't. He sat there and watched his cult attack our capital, and he even said, "maybe they should hang mike pence." After it was clear Pence could step in, he immediately did so and called in more security. That and them finally getting t-rump to intervene with his cult is what stopped the attack. t-rump didn't do anything until it was clear his minions would not be able to take over.

[@beebuzz959]

t-rump has a lot of gaffes too. He slurs his words, even though he didn't that night. He says things wrong. Many times what he says doesn't make sense.
