Dems On The Upswing, Biden Stagnates.
“It’s another ominous sign for the president: Even as other Democrats are running strong, the party’s down-ballot successes aren’t translating into momentum at the top of the ticket. Biden trails Trump in many of the states he needs to win to keep the White House. His job approval is underwater. And the coalition of voters that ushered him into office four years ago is fraying.
The split in political fortunes between the president and other Democrats has grown unmistakably clear to party leaders, laying plain the degree to which Biden’s problems appear to be Biden-specific. Interviews with Democratic lawmakers, strategists and former party officials in Washington and the states found Democrats increasingly willing to acknowledge that the president’s political difficulties are anchored in Biden’s individual vulnerabilities — including his age, his inconsistent messaging and his dismal support among young people.

The President is mired in a slug match with the former President due to the poor outlook most Americans have about the economy. The economy is actually great but what isn’t great is the price of a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread and that sticks in the minds of voters like an infected soar thumb thus the President has poll numbers that stay stagnated in a dead heat. Inflation is now somewhat under control but prices are still too high to change the minds of voters about the direct of the country, most think its headed in the wrong one. So its anyones guess what will happen.
