CNN has Trump out to a six point lead. Which is the result I'm worried about. The wailing and gnashing about Biden will come back in full force.
On the other hand, the other possible candidates don't do too much better than Biden. Surprisingly, Kamala does the best, only behind Trump by 2.

A Democracy Corps poll -- and Democracy Corps sounds like a bunch of commie gobbedlygook to me -- now puts Trump up by... 8.
President Biden needed another stage of momentum to raise his approval and his vote nationally and in the battleground states. His approval went down 2 points and the deficit with Trump grew 8 points. And on who is better handling an issue, he lost 6 to 7 points of margin on inflation, strong, and makes me feel safe. In the past, the polls have almost always reflected the direction and patterns we identify here.

Donald Trump didn't benefit on any measure, except the vote. ...
They mean, on specific issues, Trump did not improve. Biden lost support, making Trump look better relatively, but Trump's numbers themselves did not go up.
[Biden] took his biggest hit with Black voters and Hispanics, as well as third party voters. ... The biggest shifts against Biden started at 5 points and came on the border, common sense, getting higher wages and salaries, infrastructure, controlling inflation, being strong, and making me safer.
For those who say the national polls are meaningless -- they're not -- here's a guy going throug the state-by-state polling and calling the electoral college as the state polls now stand. Spoiler alert: Trump wins, and not by a little.
Jake Tapper is in full partisan mode -- against Biden. He knows Biden will lose to Trump, and, after covering up for Biden for years and years, is now posing as a Jonny-Come-Lately "Truth Teller," telling Democrats to stop pretending we didn't see what we all saw.
Jake Tapper has apparently had enough. No more covering for Biden--at least that is what he is signaling here.
He didn't use the term "gaslighting," but that is what he is describing in no uncertain terms. Watch:
I mentioned before that the Regime's way of dealing with being exposed as liars is simple, and they do the same thing every time. After years of gaslighting, years of lies and lies and lies, when the truth is suddenly undeniable, they say, "Of course I knew that. Duh. Didn't you know that, Dummy?"
I remember the leftwing "expert" class all saying that when it turned out that Obamacare did, in fact, terminate your pre-existing insurance. It was not true that "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." After this lie, which the "experts" had sworn to for years, suddenly "experts" like Megan McArdle said, "Well of course it terminates your insurance. That's right in the text of the bill. All of us experts knew that."
And so it is that Carl Bernstein, dean of the leftwing activist fake reporters, corrupt facilitator of the Steele Dossier hoax, now says, Oh sure, Biden's been mentally infirm for years. All of us smart reporters knew that, of course.
Why didn't you know that, Dum-Dums?

Carl Bernstein on CNN right now:
Multiple sources tell him that there have been at least 15 occasions in the last year and a half "where the president has appeared like he did at that horror show (his debate performance)."
Bernstein reports that in the last six months sources have told him that there has been a marked incidence of cognitive decline.
He says that his sources have gone to Ron Klain in the last year to express concern about the President losing his train of thought and not having the ability to pick up where he left off.
Bernstein mentions a fundraiser at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York in June of 2023 where the President became "Very stiff...almost like a kind of rigor mortis."
Bernstein notes that he has heard from sources that Biden is very sharp in his national security briefings and that he has full command of the facts.
Sure, Jan.
More at the link to Hot Air. Biden was lost at a fundraiser and needed to sit down to continue.
All the Smarties in the press corps knew that.
Why didn't you know that, Dummy?
