CNN Host Can’t Believe Biden Not Leading Trump By Wider Margin Over Key Issue

A CNN panelist expressed shock when a Wall Street Journal ballot revealed that President Joe Biden had a slim lead over former President Donald Trump on a key reelection challenge throughout an “Inside Politics” section.

The WSJ ballot carried out from March 17-24 amongst voters in seven swing states discovered that Biden held a slight lead over Trump 43-42 %, on the difficulty of who might higher shield democracy, although Biden and Democrats have been harping for months that Trump is the larger menace.

CNN senior political analyst Nia-Malika Henderson appeared shocked as host Dana Bash revealed the ballot outcomes, the Daily Caller reported.

“Is it shocking, because it’s only plus one?” Bash requested.

“Yeah, yeah, I mean it’s shocking that he’s only up by plus one against a guy who tried to overthrow democracy very violently on January 6, and this is something that Democrats have been hitting,” Henderson falsely claimed.

Trump gave a “Stop the Steal” speech on Jan. 6, 2021, and particularly advised supporters in the course of the speech and rally to “peacefully” march to the Capitol to make their voices heard after he unsuccessfully claimed in a collection of court docket instances for weeks following the November election that he defeated Biden within the 2020 election.

“Biden has given several speeches on this. They see this as a centerpiece of their efforts to get moderate voters, independent voters, suburban women voters, and some of those Nikki Haley voters, as well, and the idea that Biden is only up by one, I think, is fairly shocking,” Henderson continued.

“The other number is not too shocking, right? You think about the economy, you talk to voters. They do sincerely believe that the economy was better under Donald Trump,” she added.

During an August 25, 2022, speech at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, President Biden accused Republicans of embracing “semi-fascism”. In a September 1, 2022, speech in Philadelphia, he declared Trump’s supporters a “threat” to democracy.

Biden claimed that in a January speech close to Valley Forge, the previous president promised an “assault on democracy”. He additionally mentioned that defending democracy was a “central cause” of his administration.

And but, it’s Biden’s Justice Department that’s prosecuting Trump for various allegations that a number of authorized consultants have described as outrageous and inappropriate.

That led Independent presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to declare on CNN throughout a Tuesday appearance that Biden seemed to be the larger menace to democracy, in his view.

A CNN section on Tuesday identified that Biden is behind former President Donald Trump in six of seven swing states—Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia—whereas Biden leads by three factors in Wisconsin.

What’s extra, Trump is main Biden on points which can be additionally the most important issues for voters this cycle.

“Look at the why: what is going on?  Alright, trusted more, again, this is across all of these key seven swing states,” CNN political analyst Harry Enten mentioned.

“Look, Donald Trump is trusted more than Joe Biden in basically all the important issues — the economy, inflation, 20-point lead, immigration, border, 20-point lead, the Israel-Hamas war, 14-point lead, the Russia-Ukraine war, nine-point lead, protecting democracy, well within the margin of error, which I think is something the that should worry that Biden camp, given that has been harping and Democrats been harping on this,” Enten continued. “Just a one-point benefit.

“On abortion, Democrats and Joe Biden have a 12-point advantage. They would love this campaign to be about abortion, but at this particular point, it‘s about this. And it‘s about this with perhaps a little bit of this,” Enten mentioned, stating the principle issues of voters, “and all these issues favor Donald Trump.”

The host identified that Democrats and Biden have been “running on protecting democracy, and that’s a wash right now.”

“It is a Wash. And this is not the only poll that shows…  was looking at a Quinnipiac University poll last month, last week, excuse me, that showed the same thing,” Enten mentioned. “And it‘s something that RFK Jr. said to our colleague, Erin Burnett, saying, I‘m not quite sure — Joe Biden may be worse for protecting democracy. It turns out a lot of voters agree on that.”
