Relying on the anti-Trump vote is pretty ineffectual with an anti-Biden vote growing.
I was going to say this, the way Biden is handling the border crisis is turning a lot of NYC, Chicago, and Denver voters off (and more, those are just hit pretty hard lately.) EDIT: Check out the mayor of NYC's polling numbers. They are the lowest since polling began. It is the worst administration in NYC's history because of the migrant crisis handling. I can confirm with links but not sure what good that would do if people have made up their own minds.
There is no border crisis. It's a made up story by Fox News. Really it's just business as usual down there. Billions of dollars of legal commerce flowing across every day.

Are you suggesting that CBP is lying about numbers? The data is there, 350k+ encounters in the last 7 days. Unless Customs and Border Patrol is a wing of Fox News. I swear it's so easy for people to just flippantly say "the other side!" while ignoring the truth.
Those are all areas in states that are safe Democratic in the Electoral College. It's worse if it turns off Democrats in swing states who may not show up on election day.
Is this the border crisis coming from Canada that happens every election season? I miss when no one gave a shit.
What's he doing with the border crisis? I thought abetting the genocide is the bigger factor in his dropping approval rating.
Without commenting on the situation itself, I feel like sentiments toward it might indeed be hurting his numbers now but won't have any significant impact 22 months from now. American voters have short memories when it comes to things that don't materially affect them.
Really? It seems to me Joe's support of the Palestinian Genocide is hurting him more than any made-up fox news bullshit.
Oh yeah. The border crisis. That's the real kicker.
So many 2020 voters picked Biden for his border commitments.
