I think they are doing it to gain audience share.

The future of the radical Left is dimming now. They are not the bright shiny object they were when Obama was elected.
"Or, did they get orders"

PSSST, cnn is going through a big shape up.


I still believe it will slant left.

"I remember the crazies chanting "Lock her up""

And I remeber many dems saying, "NO ONE, is above the law"

And what we found it that it only applies to repubs.

I find it odd how so may libs want to "lock" Trump up for OLD crimes and somehow ALWAYS ignores hillary's .

Explain this.

They said 70% don't think things are better now than when Joe took office...ouch!

Even 63% of Dems felt that way, & ~70% of Dems don't want Joe to be the Dems prez....citing his age.

I'll see if I can find more about this on CNN's web site. I wonder if other left leaning news outlets are reporting on these suvey/poll results?

Is CNN just trying to broaden their audience, or did the word go out to the media from the Leftist Czars to start taking Joe out?

Nice to hear that CNN doesn't just Trump bash 24/7/365 anymore...that gets old after 6 years.
CNN, MSNBC and other MSM's are trying to push Biden out because of his obvious age issues and that he his approval and polling numbers are weak. If he was doing well in the polls they would not be doing this. The leftist leadership wants him to not run in 2024. I think he will be out of the race by November. They had to shut the mic on him yesterday because he was babbling nonsense and lead him off the stage. These incidents are just going to get worse.

But the Dem talking points are that Biden passed more legislation since FDR. He did a great job, the economy is fine but he is too old to run again. You will hear that over and over until he gives in.

For our democracy to survive, we need a free and independent media and judiciary. These issues are serious.

Your opinion.

I lived through it and it saw it a different way.

Many disagree with you.

The numbers are what they are (common knowledge), and they report them. When they reported low numbers for Trump, people called them fake news.

Biden was never popular, and was elected only to get Trump out of the office. Nothing else. I believe he will step out of the 2024 race in about 6 months.

I know that polls this far out are not nearly as accurate as polls done just before an election, but these are so bad, the DNC cannot discount both of them. The downward trends are also telling. I've heard the polling trends are more important than the actual polling numbers.

I think the DNC will dump Joe by mid-December, or Joe will pull out. Time will tell if I'm right. Those who are really in power right now have Joe as theri front man, so have zero accountability. They'll want to keep the power, but remain behind the curtain of accountability. So, they'll need another puppet, like Joe, who is willing to to be compliant.

I'm starting to wonder if the powers that be decided that maybe Biden needs to be replaced. It's just kind of creepy how the MSM is sort of just shifting at the same time. It almost feels coordinated, no proof of course, but it's just odd. Like some kind of group text message went out.

No one wants Harris, so I'm not sure how' they'd get rid or her, but I'm sure someone behind the scenes is working on it.
