‘The Person Who Is Eroding Support Is Actually Joe Biden’: CNN’s Abby Phillip Breaks Down Damning 2024 Election Poll
CNN host Abby Phillip broke down a damning poll from the New York Times on Monday which showed President Joe Biden losing 17% of his previous voters in 2024 and former President Donald Trump losing just 3%.
“Biden has a problem that Trump doesn’t have,” CNN’s S.E. Cupp told Phillip. “Trump’s base is way more loyal and rabid and condensed, and this was a project that Trump and the Republicans encouraged, purifying the party, getting rid of apostates, getting rid of good conservatives like Kinzinger and Romney and Cheney.”
Cupp continued, “They’ve done it, and so they’re all with him no matter what. Joe Biden doesn’t have that kind of loyalty. We’ve seen a lot of Democrats wondering if they’re going to stay home or not.”
Phillip then revealed that according to a New York Times/Siena poll, which showed Trump beating Biden in a general election, 97% of those who voted for Trump in 2020 “say they would vote for him again this year,” versus “83% who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 [who] say they would vote for him again.”
She concluded, “The person who is eroding support is actually Joe Biden, according to this.”
CNN contributor Scott Jennings weighed in, “I think a lot of the Republicans who are voting against Trump in these primaries didn’t vote for him in 2020. I think they are Republicans who hated Trump before, they voted for Joe Biden, and now they’re planning to vote against Trump again.”
He continued, “Trump’s base is there, it’s pretty solid, and not only that, if you look inside of the New York Times/Siena poll that Harry was just talking about, there’s obviously new people coming in. Trump was leading among Hispanics, Trump was tied among women, he had a quarter of African-American voters.”
Jennings concluded, “If those splits hold, there’s no way for Joe Biden to win because that’s a whole bunch of new people coming into the Republican Party, so you could shed some of the folks you were talking about if you’re replacing them with this multi-generational, multi-racial working class coalition of people that never vote Republican.”
