Biden gets poll totally wrong, believes 92% of Dems would vote for him in 2024

President Joe Biden had another delusional moment on Tuesday when he scolded several reporters telling them “to read the polls” which Biden alleged proves the American people want him to run for re-election. In fact, the polls show the exact opposite, but that did not stop him from engaging in an altercation; facts rarely get in Biden’s way.

“Mr. President, what’s your message to Democrats who don’t want you to run again?” the reporter asked at the congressional picnic at the White House.

Biden stopped in his tracks and told the reporter “they want me to run” and for him to “read the polls.”

When the reporter pointed out the polls show roughly two-thirds of Democrats say they do not want Biden to run again, the president snapped back: “Read the polls, Jack, you guys are all the same.”

Biden walked towards the reporter and camera and stated “that poll showed that 92% of Democrats if I ran, would vote for me” referring to a New York Times survey.

Fox News reports:

Both the reporter and Biden reiterated their claims to each other, with the reporter again asserting that a majority of Democrats do not want Biden to campaign in 2024, and Biden refuting the statistic, insisting it was quite the opposite. 

The interaction comes as the media has highlighted numerous polls that show Biden is in hot water with American voters, including voters of his own party. The numbers Biden and the reporter spoke of came from a New York Times/Sienna College poll conducted between July 5 and 7.

The reporter was correct in their analysis of the poll which revealed a whopping 64% of Democratic voters agree that someone else should take the mantle in 2024.

Fox News writes that when it comes to Biden’s statistic of 92%, “that number does appear in the poll, but is not attributable to a question about whether he should or should not run in 2024.”

“Instead, the statistic is in reference to the fact that 92% of Democrats would still vote for Biden in a hypothetical rematch against former President Donald Trump.”
