Fox News host Laura Ingraham analyzes President Biden's dwindling approval ratings and the Biden team's desperate attempts to salvage his campaign ahead of the presidential debates.
Biden's Struggles Mount as Campaign Adopts Trump's Debate Proposal
In a startling shift, the Biden campaign has abandoned its insistence on traditional debate formats and embraced President Trump's call for earlier debates. This move underscores the campaign's growing anxiety as Biden's polling numbers continue to plummet.
The Biden team, desperate for a "game-changer," believes that the debates will provide a platform for the former vice president to revive his flagging campaign. However, their hopes may be misplaced, as the choice of CNN anchors to moderate the first debate raises concerns about impartiality.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham highlighted the Biden team's nervousness, citing a recent Slate article that warned Democrats against rationalizing Biden's poor performance among likely voters. Ingraham pointedly stated that the polling data revealed a grim reality: "Biden does better with people who are most likely to vote — because new polling shows that that's not true."
Biden's Approval Ratings Hit Record Lows
Recent polls have painted a bleak picture for Biden, with his approval ratings hovering near record lows. A CNN poll conducted in early September found that only 38% of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing as president, while 59% disapprove.
This decline in popularity is particularly alarming for the Biden campaign, as it suggests that the president is losing support among key voting blocs.
The Biden Team's Miscalculations
Ingraham argued that the Biden team has made a series of miscalculations that have contributed to the president's low approval ratings.
She criticized the administration's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, the ongoing border crisis, and the rising inflation rates. Ingraham also pointed to Biden's gaffes and apparent cognitive decline as factors that have eroded public confidence in his leadership.
The Road Ahead: A Tough Battle for Biden
As the presidential debates approach, the Biden campaign faces an uphill battle. The president's low approval ratings, combined with the perceived strength of his opponent, make it difficult to see a path to victory.
Ingraham concluded her segment by stating that "the writing is on the wall" for Biden. She suggested that the president's campaign is "circling the drain" and that his chances of re-election are dwindling.
