In a recent CNN poll, former President Donald Trump has emerged with higher favorability ratings than President Biden, causing a stir among voters and political commentators. The poll, which also highlighted the public’s dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of the economy, has sparked calls for a revamp of the President’s team.
Michael LaRosa, a communications and political strategist who previously served as press secretary for First Lady Jill Biden, took to social media to express his disappointment with Biden’s team. LaRosa criticized the lack of response to smears, lies, conspiracies, and disinformation, which he believes allowed a negative narrative to congeal around the President. He called for an overhaul of Biden’s team, emphasizing the need for a change in approach to counter GOP attacks on Biden’s integrity, reputation, and family.
The CNN poll revealed that 38 percent of respondents view Trump favorably, while 56 percent view him unfavorably. In comparison, Biden’s favorability rating stood at 36 percent, with 59 percent viewing him negatively. The poll also indicated that Trump has a slight lead over Biden among registered voters, with 49 percent supporting Trump and 45 percent supporting Biden.
These poll results are consistent with other recent surveys that show Trump performing better than Biden, even in key battleground states, well ahead of the 2024 elections. The findings have raised concerns among Democrats and underscore the need for the President to address the issues surrounding his team.
Criticism of Biden’s team is not limited to political insiders. Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” expressed frustration with the President’s staff over their handling of his public appearances. Brzezinski highlighted the importance of supporting Biden given his age and emphasized the need for better management of his schedule and physical well-being.
The calls for a change in Biden’s team come at a crucial time, as the President faces mounting challenges both domestically and internationally. With Trump gaining traction in favorability ratings, it is evident that Biden’s team needs to reassess its strategies and messaging in order to regain public trust and support.
As the public awaits a response from the White House, it is clear that the President’s team must act swiftly to address the concerns raised by both political insiders and the public. The 2024 elections loom on the horizon, and Biden’s declining poll numbers indicate the urgency for a course correction.
