Opinion | Seven Theories for Why Biden Is Losing (and What He Should Do About It)
www.nytimes.com
It’s not the poll numbers that worry me, exactly. It’s the denial of what’s behind them.

There are the only mentions of Gaza:

Voters think Biden is too liberal. The Biden administration has worried about shoring up its left flank, particularly since the war in Gaza. But the Times-Siena poll found that while Biden is losing only 2 percent of his “very liberal” voters from 2020 to Trump, he is losing 16 percent of his supporters who described themselves as moderate and conservative.

. . .

In the Times-Siena poll, 21 percent of voters say the economy will drive their vote, while 7 percent say inflation is their top issue. By contrast, immigration is the top issue for 12 percent of voters, abortion is the top issue for 11 percent, the war between Israelis and Palestinians is the top issue for 2 percent and crime is the top issue for fewer than 1 percent.

    Still very funny that he staked out the first (only?) “Biden can and should be replaced” take from a high profile/mainstream lib pundit, only for Biden, days later, to hold court at the State of the Union, and whip everyone in line.
