Biden's perception of the public mood is out of touch. While he references polls suggesting voter satisfaction, other data paint a different picture. A separate poll by Kaplan Industries showed Trump leading Biden by 15 points in Michigan—an outlier, but significant enough to signal widespread discontent. The Real Clear Politics average confirms Trump’s advantage in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, where Biden trails by a narrow three-point margin. This gap is critical; if Trump wins Pennsylvania, the election could be effectively over for Biden.
