CNN delivers tough news to Biden: Trump leads in 2 key states
These Are Some Rough Numbers: CNN Breaks Bad News to Biden, Shows Trump Leading in 2 Critical States
Who could’ve guessed that the absolute best endorsement for a second term for former President Donald Trump would come from … the man who helped end the first term?
As is typically the case in the peculiar world of modern American politics, fact is often stranger than fiction, and it is indeed true that incumbent President Joe Biden has been the single best, loudest and ringing advertisement for another four years of Trump.
And if you needed any proof of that, just look at what’s brewing in a pair of battleground states as the 2024 general election inches closer.
The polarizing 2020 election was one that Biden “won” (your mileage may vary on the term) on the back of some razor thin margins of victory in key battleground states like Michigan and Georgia.
As CNN has documented, Biden won Michigan by 2.8 percent, and Georgia by .3 percent in the 2020 general election.
Those were two critical states that Biden desperately needed.
Now?
The very same CNN that once proudly declared Biden the next president is now telling the incumbent president that things are not looking good for him.
On Monday morning, CNN “Early Start” host Kasie Hunt spoke on her program about what those two aforementioned battleground states look like for the president … and it’s not pretty.
In news that Hunt described as “rough numbers for the president,” she revealed that the incumbent was trailing — significantly so — in Michigan and Georgia, per CNN polling.
Citing a CNN poll conducted from Nov. 29 to Dec. 7, and with a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points, Hunt revealed that Biden is trailing Trump in Georgia by 5 percentage points and trailing Trump in Michigan by a whopping 10 percentage points.
The poll, which asked registered voters who they would prefer in a hypothetical (but likely) 2024 showdown between Biden and Trump, paint a much different picture from even just three scant years ago. Furthermore, Hunt pointed out that “voters who say they didn’t vote in 2020” but will vote in this election are trending towards voting for Trump.
(It also does need to be pointed out that Trump’s poll lead over Biden in those two states exceeds the margin of error, so this is indeed “rough” for Team Biden.)
So what’s changed in the last three years to swing these states so strongly?
It’s certainly not the former president, who’s been entangled with a number of thorny, weaponized and spurious legal charges. Trump’s been far too busy clearing his good name in court to really do much to sway one’s opinion — good or bad — about the former president.
But Trump hasn’t had to do anything because, as the old adage goes, if you hand enough rope to your opposition, they’ll eventually hang themselves.
Trump, simply by sitting back and watching the country crumble under the “leadership” of Biden, has proven his point: Whatever faults he may have had as president pale in comparison to the glaring, epic deficiencies that Biden has as the commander-in-chief.
The general state of “Bidenomics” is proof positive of that.
Conservatives and Republicans (well, some Republicans) always knew this was coming with a Biden presidency.
The general American voting public, based on the polling in those two key battleground states, is clearly starting to become aware of this, too.

How does Trump’s current lead in Georgia and Michigan affect Biden’s chances of winning a second term in the 2024 election?
O they would vote for if the election were held today, showed Trump leading with 47 percent support in Georgia, compared to Biden’s 42 percent. In Michigan, Trump had 48 percent support, while Biden had only 38 percent.
These numbers are undoubtedly concerning for Biden and his supporters. Winning these two states was crucial for Biden in the 2020 election, and losing them in a potential rematch with Trump in 2024 would be a significant blow to his chances of a second term.
It is important to note that these poll numbers are just a snapshot in time and can fluctuate as the political landscape evolves. However, it does indicate a shift in public opinion and highlights the challenges that Biden may face in the coming years.
Many factors could contribute to Biden’s declining popularity in these states. It could be a result of disillusionment with his policies or dissatisfaction with his handling of key issues such as the economy, immigration, and crime. Trump’s strong base of supporters may also be a contributing factor to his lead in these states.
Regardless of the reasons, these numbers should serve as a wake-up call for the Biden administration. They need to reassess their strategies and find solutions to regain support and address the concerns of voters in these critical states.
Furthermore, these numbers should also be a wake-up call for Democrats as a whole. Losing support in key battleground states like Michigan and Georgia could have broader implications for the party’s chances in future elections. It is crucial for Democrats to understand the reasons behind this decline in support and work towards winning back the trust of voters.
As the 2024 general election approaches, Biden and his team will need to carefully analyze these numbers and make strategic decisions to improve their standing in these critical states. The road to a second term is not an easy one, especially when facing a strong opponent like Donald Trump.
There is still a long way to go until the 2024 election, and much can change between now and then. However, these rough numbers from CNN serve as a stark reminder that nothing can be taken for granted in politics. It is up to Biden and his administration to rally support, address concerns, and prove that he is the best candidate for the job.
Only time will tell if Biden can overcome these challenges and secure a second term in the White House. Until then, all eyes will be on the battleground states and the evolving political landscape.
