President Biden is facing a string of bad polls, but his campaign is not backing down. Despite recent polls showing former President Donald J. Trump leading in battleground states, Biden remains confident in his strategy.
Biden’s playbook for handling bad polls includes dismissing the polling industry as broken, arguing about metrics, and reminding supporters of the time left before Election Day. His campaign released a statement from pollster Geoff Garin, downplaying the significance of the latest poll results.
The President himself has been vocal about the polls, urging supporters to ignore them and stay engaged in the election process. He has been traveling to key fundraising events on the West Coast, making the case that the polls do not reflect the true state of the race.
Biden’s campaign has been focusing on highlighting Trump’s record on abortion and democracy, aiming to turn the election into a referendum on his predecessor. They have opened 150 offices with over 500 staff members across battleground states and are planning a $2 billion advertising campaign.
Despite the challenges posed by the polls, Biden and his team remain focused on their strategy. They believe that many voters have forgotten the most alarming parts of the Trump years and are working hard to remind them of the stakes in this election. As Biden said at a recent fundraiser, “We’re never going to forget.”
