IF this polling is accurate and IF Trump can convert this crowd to the MAGA side, then these numbers spell disaster for President Biden.
Amy Brown from the Cook Political Report discussed Biden's poor polling with PBS this week and explained a statistic that is being criminally overlooked.
I think the group of people he's really trying to move right now are those voters who voted for Biden in 2020, but are now sitting on the fence or saying maybe they're voting for third party. We did some polling in battleground states. About 18 percent of Biden voters in those battleground states are not supporting Biden this time around.
Brown views this group as people who should be the "easiest for him (Biden) to get back in his camp" which is why an early debate might be helpful for Biden.
That's the rose-colored lefty glasses view of these numbers for the Left. But if you're a conservative and you see all these battleground state voters defecting from Biden, 18% in states Trump lost by single digits, there has to be a concerted effort to push voter's remorse on them.
That's why, "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago" is the most effective electoral strategy.
Brown went on to explain how Biden should be looking at these numbers:
So I think talking about the issues that would appeal to those voters, many of them are younger, voters of color, who will agree with his positions on issues like democracy and on abortion rights, and even on the economy, talking to them, not so much about what the economy is like now, but what it will look like in four years from now and who's fighting for those voters.
If they DO care about the economy more than these other issues then it's lights out for the Biden campaign.
