Today, it was announced that inflation is accelerating. The annual rate of inflation was 8.6% in May, and it was 9.1% in June.
Among many reporters today, President Biden was asked about all of the Democrats recently abandoning him. His response was that 92% of Democrats say that they would vote for him in 2024. He didn’t cite the poll, but let’s assume that that’s true.
The latest Gallup poll for 2022 showed that 47% consider themselves (or lean toward) the Republican party, and 42% are Democrats, leaving 11% as Independents. Well, 92% of the 42% of Democrats amounts to only 38% of the population. Even if half of the Independents were to vote for Biden (which polls show is not likely), that still shows that Biden would get beat in a landslide: 56% to 44%.
BTW, President Biden blames everybody but himself for the 9.1% inflation rate, calling it “Putin’s Price Hike.” If inflation were to ever come down, I wonder if he would call it “Putin’s Price Cut.”
