And it is an embarrassing repudiation to the doomsayers who have written off the President&#8217;s chances of prevailing in November. Many of those pessimists have been Democrats and media that have generally been more balanced and focused on real world analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62165\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WTF? According to the New York Times \u2018Biden Should Leave the Race\u2019 AND \u2018Trump is Unfit to Lead\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, the topline numbers in the poll were not the only good news for Biden and portent of peril for Trump. Notably, the survey found that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Americans are overwhelmingly more concerned about a president who plays fast and loose with the facts than someone who is too old to serve. Nearly seven in ten Americans (68%) think it is more concerning if a president does not tell the truth. Nearly one in three (32%) think it is more concerning if someone is too old to serve.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This finding weighs heavily on Trump, the candidate who is known as both a pathological liar, and an elderly sufferer of severe cognitive disability. As for Biden, well, he&#8217;s just old. But Trump&#8217;s derangement manifests in utterly bizarre tirades that are completely detached from reality. Such as his oratories on the threats of sharks and batteries, windmill cancer, nuking hurricanes, George Washington&#8217;s Army taking over airports, and injecting bleach to cure COVID. And then are these comparatively minor, albeit frequent, verbal gaffes&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">While the media is fixated on every verbal gaffe by President Biden, let&#39;s not forget that nobody screws up more than Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And when Trump isn&#39;t screwing up, he&#39;s lying. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xvCAbVd6ZB\">https:\/\/t.co\/xvCAbVd6ZB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1811688858121388291?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The poll also found that 64% of respondents <em>&#8220;do not think Biden has the mental fitness to serve as president.&#8221;<\/em> Which is not particularly good, but not unexpected considering the constant media harping on the issue. Conversely, the poll also found that 49% have the same concerns about Trump&#8217;s mental unfitness. And that&#8217;s without the same amount of media bias influencing those opinions. It&#8217;s just Trump craziness shining through.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, the poll showed that a majority (52%) of Americans believe that <em>&#8220;Biden has the character to serve as president.&#8221;<\/em> By contrast, an even bigger <em>&#8220;majority of Americans (56%), including 18% of Republicans and 58% of independents, do not think Trump has the character to be President of the United States.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>These numbers paint a picture of a race that Biden should be leading by wide margins. Unfortunately, in today&#8217;s media environment, other factors come into play that warp the both the polling and the potential electoral outcome. Which means that Democrats cannot become complacent in the weeks and months ahead. They must remain motivated and energized in order to fend off the threat that Trump and his MAGA cult pose to democracy.<\/p>\n<p>It also means that they must be flexible and able to quickly pivot if circumstances change. Although Biden is adamant that he will be the nominee to the end &#8211; and he surely has the ability to win &#8211; the odds of his stepping aside are greater than zero. Were that to happen, the same poll shows that every candidate tested (Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom) did at least as well against Trump as Biden did.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s safe to harbor some optimism as we face an unprecedented future this election year. And we must never let the nation forget the real choice before it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Biden:<\/strong> an honest, intelligent, and compassionate leader who reveres the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Or Donald Trump:<\/strong> with 34 felony convictions, judgments against him for financial fraud, defamation and rape, and pending indictments that include inciting a violent coup and stealing classified documents, and conspiring to overturn an election, who seeks to impose an autocratic dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p>That shouldn&#8217;t be a difficult choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62152\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Intelligence Warns that Russia is Actively Undermining Biden to Boost Putin\u2019s Puppet Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62120\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BIDEN: Trump is Riding Around in His Golf Cart at Mar-a-Lago Talking to His Wealthy Friends<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62107\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Felonious Trump Begs President Biden to Stay in the Race in a Sarcastic Rant Filled with Lies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new NPR\/Marist National Poll was released two weeks after the Biden\/Trump debate that has triggered so much pundit anxiety and politico consternation.
