In recent weeks, the president’s approval ratings have plummeted.
A national average of approval polls puts Biden’s current approval rating at a embarrassing low 39.9 percent.
In contrast, the same group’s national poll average puts Trump’s current favorability rating at 41.7 percent.
In a June 10 social media post, based on the numbers, prominent pollster Nate Silver suggested that Biden may have hit the “threshold” where his dropping out of the race could be less of a risk for Democrats than his staying in.
But Biden just hit a new all-time low in approval (37.4%) at 538 yesterday. Dropping out would be a big risk. But there's some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk. Are we there yet? I don't know. But it's more than fair to ask. pic.twitter.com/1nmoKQkW85

During an interview with the digital media publication Puck News, Jen O’Malley Dillon, the president’s re-election campaign chairman, acknowledged the Sunshine State, and its 30 Electoral College votes, is a lost cause for Democrats.
Heilemann: And you’re saying you see North Carolina also as a battleground state?
O'Malley-Dillon: Yes.
Heilemann: Florida?
O'Malley-Dillon: No.https://t.co/lfxbxyXSJy— Nick Field (@nick_field90) June 24, 2024
The interviewer, John Heilemann, listed off some states, asking Dillon if the campaign considered them to be “battleground” contests.
When it came to Florida, Dillon’s answer was to the point.
“No,” she said.
“Thank you. I was afraid you were going to lie,” Heilemann responded.
This news of the Biden team throwing in the towel in Florida comes just days before the first 2024 presidential debate is set to take place in Atlanta.
Anyone that wears diapers should automatically be barred from running. Biden has done nothing to help the USA. All he has done is open the borders for only God knows what to just walk in. Biden’s hands are dripping with blood from the innocent people killed because of his policies!!These people that wants to keep him in office has a problem!
