Democrats are becoming increasingly worried about President Biden’s chances come November.
On Monday, political strategist James Carville melted down in dismay at the growing support for former President Donald Trump among young voters, leading to a notable outburst. The outburst came on the heels of a new CNN poll showing Trump widening his lead over President Biden.
According to the latest figures, Trump’s approval has steadfastly held at 49 percent, while support for Biden has slipped from 45 percent to 43 percent since the beginning of the year.
Visibly agitated, Carville warned of dire consequences if the young demographic continues to favor Trump. “If they get a hold, there will be no government left, there’ll be no rights left, you’ll live under theocracy, you’ll end up in Christian nationalism,” Carville claimed.

“But that’s alright, you little 26-year-old. You don’t feel like the election’s important to me. They’re not addressing the issues that I care about,” he said, his voice thick with sarcasm and frustration.

Trump expanded his lead over Biden to the widest margin in the history of CNN’s presidential survey.
In a head-to-head matchup with Biden, Trump’s support has held firm at 49 percent. Biden’s support dropped from 45 percent to 43 percent when compared with his numbers at the start of the year. When asked about job performance, 55 percent of respondents indicated that they now view Trump’s first term as a success, while 44 percent see it as a failure. In January 2021, shortly after Trump left office, 55 percent of respondents classified his term as a failure.
As for Joe, just 39 percent of registered voters agreed that his presidency has been a success. A whopping 61 percent said his presidency thus far has been a failure. Among independents, 51% say Trump’s presidency was successful, while only 37% see Biden’s as a success for the country. The latest poll followed several months of trends in measuring overall dissatisfaction with President Biden’s job performance.
60 percent of respondents expressed disapproval of his tenure, a trend that has held up in the CNN poll for nearly a year. In terms of individual issues, the president once again received overwhelmingly negative marks for his handling of the economy and tackling inflation.
Even the issues where he receives the highest approval — such as health care policy and student loan forgiveness — are underwater at 45 percent and 44 percent respectively. When asked about his handling of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, the president received astronomically low approval.
Just 21 percent approve of his job performance on the issue, while a whopping 71 percent disapprove.
The figure includes 81 percent of younger voters voicing disapproval, representing a growing problem for Biden with a demographic that was key to his 2020 victory.
In a multi-candidate matchup that includes independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West, as well as Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Trump leads with 42% of the vote. Biden follows with 33%. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. garners 16%, Cornel West receives 4%, and Jill Stein secures 3%. Notably, Kennedy draws 13% of his support equally from Biden and Trump supporters in the initial two-way matchup.
