Renowned pollster Frank Luntz revealed shocking news to President Biden’s campaign following his debate with former President Donald Trump. During the event, which was the first time the two had met face-to-face since their last debate in 2020, Luntz noted a significant shift in voter sentiment among undecided swing-state residents.
Luntz shared that most of his focus group consisted of undecided voters from crucial swing states, and they overwhelmingly swung in favor of Trump after the debate. He remarked on the unusual performance by Biden, stating, “In my entire professional career, I’ve done 32 debates. Never has someone performed [like Biden last night. And I was very upset with Donald Trump in 2020. I have never seen a performance like I saw last night.
The unexpected response from the focus group members highlighted their concerns about Biden’s leadership capabilities and cognitive issues. One participant commented, “He does not have the leadership qualities to survive for the next four years.” Another expressed that they had supported Biden in the past but now believe that the Democrats need a new candidate to defeat Trump.
A CNN flash poll conducted by SSRS revealed that 67% of registered voters who watched Thursday’s debate between Biden and Trump believed that Trump delivered a better performance. In contrast, only 45% had pre-debate confidence in Biden outshining Trump. Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, usually critical of CNN, acknowledged the network’s fair management of the debate, commending its hosts for setting aside their prejudice against Trump for one night.
Despite the widespread criticism and calls from some leftist media outlets to withdraw from the presidential race, President Biden has not considered stepping down due to his debate performance, as reported by CNN’s Kayla Tausche.
