This serves as terrible news for the Biden campaign; this massive decline also comes after Jill Biden telling Democrats to “swallow a little bit” and get behind her husband for the sake of defeating Trump.
Biden’s 13 point drop comes at quite a time; he and his allies still wish to brand him as the most “electable” candidate to take on President Trump in 2020.
Response from the Biden Campaign
The Biden campaign has spoken out since the release of yesterday’s survey. An excerpt of the team’s statement regarding Monmouth University’s findings reads as follows:
“This poll is an outlier that is contradicted by every measure of the national average.”
Biden’s team also goes on to claim that Democrats are “most energized about a nominee who can take-on and defeat Donald Trump and the atrocious values he represents.”
There’s no question that Democrats are eager to beat President Trump; however, there are questions about whether Democrats view Biden as up for the task. His various gaffes haven’t helped him out very much, hence yesterday’s poll.
