I wrote on Sunday about a couple of very important things in the new CNN poll.
The first was that former President Donald Trump was leading Joe Biden by six points head-to-head, but by nine points when you add in other candidates, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Perhaps the most intriguing finding—particularly in a CNN poll—was that 55 percent of Americans found the Trump presidency a success, while most Americans, 61 percent, thought Biden's time in office was a failure. Even after all the media attacks and even after all the lawfare, Americans are just not buying it. They know how much better they had it under Trump.

But now, a couple of other polls along this same line confirm that Americans hold Trump in higher esteem than Biden. CBS's poll said that voters in the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania thought that they would be financially better off if Trump wins and that it's gotten worse under Biden.

That's a flashing red light for Joe Biden when those states are so important to the election and the economy is the most important issue.
The Harvard Harris poll also seemed to mirror the CNN poll, making basically the same point that most of the registered voters—55 percent—approved of Trump's time in office. He was about five points ahead of Biden head-to-head, and that lead increased to seven points with RFK Jr. and others in the race.

But they also had the point that most of the registered voters — 57 percent — believe that the Democrats are trying to take out a political opponent through the legal system. Now, many people likely think that number should be higher, but that's still a pretty big number, given all the propaganda. And that shows most Americans are getting it, which is reassuring.

And if they believe this, how could they vote for any party they believed involved in such shenanigans?
On top of that, 64 percent think that Biden's "lapses" are becoming more frequent.

They see it every day, especially now that the campaign is putting him out there more. They can't spin and hide the problem anymore.
This all pretty much spells doom for Biden if these numbers are true and they hold.
