According to James Carville, a seasoned Democratic political consultant, President Joe Biden’s declining poll numbers can be likened to one of the most shocking familial encounters one can ever have.
Carville shared a colorful metaphor with Maureen Dowd, a columnist from The New York Times, during an interview discussing the present condition of the Democratic Party.
“When I look at these polling numbers, it’s like walking in on your grandma naked. You can’t get the image out of your mind,” Carville said.
Recent polls indicate that Biden is facing challenges with voters as he campaigns for re-election.
According to the RealClearPolitics polling averages, Biden is currently behind his presumed Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, in all seven crucial states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
According to Carville, Biden’s age and frequent gaffes have significantly impacted his public image.
“Now don’t tell me that Biden has more energy or cognition than Trump because it’s evident that, yeah, Trump’s got word salads, but he projects energy. He’s insane. He’s a criminal of the first order. But he does have a little timing and a little sense of humor and knows how to move from one story to the other.” Carville added.
In contrast to his 77-year-old competitor, Biden, at 81 years old, seems to exhibit a slightly slower pace, diminished strength, and a greater vulnerability to the effects of aging.
When questioned about Biden’s strategy to improve his polling numbers, Carville indicated that the president’s best bet was to stick with his current approach.
