Biden’s White House control at risk if he can’t manage anti-Israel Dems.
A New Poll Raises Concerns for Democrats
A new poll released over the weekend has Democrats worried about their chances of keeping the White House with their 80-year-old incumbent commander-in-chief.
The survey, conducted in several swing states, revealed that former President Donald Trump is leading his 2020 opponent in key states such as Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In Wisconsin, Trump trails President Joe Biden by only 2 points, a significant improvement compared to his 2016 performance where he won the state by just 1 percent.
While Democrats are grappling with these alarming poll results, anti-Israel protestors have descended upon the White House, reminiscent of the riots that occurred during the final months of the Trump administration. These far-left demonstrators vandalized the gates of the executive mansion and demanded concessions from President Biden in the name of “social justice.” What’s striking is that these protestors are from the same political party as the current occupant of the White House. Instead of banners reading “Black Lives Matter,” their placards now read “Palestinian Lives Matter,” highlighting the growing divide within the Democratic Party.
It’s important to note that while these movements may have different names, they represent similar ideologies.

Last week, Michigan Democrat Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a member of the far-left ”squad,” directly threatened President Biden for his refusal to endorse a ceasefire in Israel. She stated, “Mr. President, the American people are not with you on this one. We will remember in 2024.” Tlaib’s video concluded with a bold statement accusing Biden of supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people.
If Michigan Democrats follow Tlaib’s lead, the White House can say goodbye to the state’s 15 electoral votes, which have historically been a stronghold for the Democratic Party.
Democrats are now relying on a series of legal battles as their last-ditch effort to undermine Trump. The former president is facing an unprecedented 91 state and federal charges across four jurisdictions, which could potentially derail his campaign. However, Americans have not responded favorably to these charges. With early leads in crucial swing states, prominent Democrats are sounding the alarm.

David Axelrod, a former advisor to President Barack Obama and the architect of his historic 2008 victory, responded to the poll results by urging Democrats to reconsider their incumbent advantage in the upcoming 2024 election. He wrote, “The stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore. Only [Joe Biden] can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”
A New York Times headline captures the deep anxiety among Democrats as polls show Biden trailing Trump. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party remains divided over the Israel-Hamas conflict, which has the potential to disrupt the entire Middle East. Biden has tried to reassure America’s allies of his commitment to Israel, but the party’s base voters are clearly split on this issue. A significant number of DNC staffers have signed a letter demanding the president endorse a ceasefire, and more Democrats in Congress are criticizing Israel. Even the vice president’s stepdaughter is fundraising for Gaza. In response, the Biden administration has called for temporary ceasefires and threatened to veto aid to Israel, a move that may not sit well with the majority of Americans who support Israel.

The anti-Israel demonstrations are only further alienating the electorate, as these explicitly antisemitic protests display a clear hatred towards Jewish people. In New York City, which has the largest Jewish population in America, there has been a 164 percent increase in anti-Jewish crimes. Additionally, students at elite American colleges have vehemently condemned Israel, and platforms like TikTok are spreading anti-Israel content to younger Americans.
As the Democratic Party struggles to navigate the Middle East crisis, a successful conviction of Trump could be their only hope. According to the Times, if Trump is convicted and sentenced, around 6 percent of voters in key swing states would switch their votes to Biden, potentially deciding the outcome of the election.
What steps can the Democratic Party take to decrease the influence of former President Trump and appeal to his base of supporters?
The best decision for the party and the country in the face of these new poll numbers.” Axelrod’s statement highlights the growing concern among Democrats about their current path and the need for careful consideration moving forward.
One of the main reasons for this concern is the support that former President Trump continues to maintain among his base. Despite being out of office for several years, Trump’s influence within the Republican Party is undeniable. His ability to connect with voters and mobilize support is evident in the poll results, which show him leading in states that were once considered strongholds for the Democrats.
In addition to the support for Trump, the growing divide within the Democratic Party is also causing anxiety among party members. The recent protests at the White House, led by anti-Israel demonstrators from within the Democratic Party, highlight the ideological differences within the party. The shift from “Black Lives Matter” to “Palestinian Lives Matter” on the banners held by these protestors demonstrates the widening gap between different factions within the Democratic Party. This divide not only threatens party unity but also raises questions about the party’s ability to appeal to a broad range of voters in future elections.
Furthermore, the video statement from Michigan Democrat Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, where she directly challenges President Biden and accuses him of supporting genocide, is another cause for concern among Democrats. Tlaib’s statement not only undermines party unity but also threatens to alienate voters who may support a more moderate approach.
In response to these challenges, Democrats are now relying on legal battles as their last resort to undermine Trump’s campaign. However, the response from the American public has not been favorable, and early leads in crucial swing states indicate that these efforts may not be successful.
In conclusion, the new poll results have raised concerns for Democrats about their chances of keeping the White House in the upcoming election. The continued support for former President Trump, the growing divide within the Democratic Party, and the negative response to legal battles against Trump are all contributing to this anxiety. As David Axelrod pointed out, the stakes are high, and careful consideration is needed in the decision-making process moving forward. Only time will tell how Democrats will navigate these challenges and regain the confidence of the American people.
