CNN’s top data analyst has just delivered the bad news to Democrats, warning that new polling dooms President Joe Biden.
New polling shows a sharp drop in voters’ confidence in Biden’s fitness for office.
CNN reporter Harry Enten was left stunned by the news as he reacted on the network.
“If you look at the polling now compared to what it was pre-debate and compare it to what it was four years ago, it‘s just not even on the same planet,” Enten warned.
Biden faces an uphill battle to regain voters’ confidence after last Thursday’s disastrous debate performance.
A new poll from CBS News shows a large majority of voters now doubt his mental fitness to be president.
According to the poll, 72% of voters think Biden is mentally unfit to serve.
However, four years ago, just 36% of voters thought Biden was too old to be president, polling showed.
“Four years ago, voters for the most part thought Joe Biden was with it,” he said.
“He could handle the job as president.
“You look at those numbers now, the fact is, voters do not even see them on the same planet.
“They don‘t think Biden‘s with it.
“They do not believe he has the mental fitness to be president.
“And I have to be honest with you, I don‘t know how he wins with the numbers that we see right now,” Enten continued.
“There is no precedent for the numbers that we‘re seeing right now for someone running for president, letting alone getting a nomination.”
If Biden does not do more to turn this trend around, it could “end” his campaign, the reporter predicted.
WATCH:
Re: Biden's age/mental acuity in the voters' minds. The numbers are worse than pre-debate, which were historically bad. Far worse than 2020 when age actually wasn't a big issue to voters.
The comparison to Reagan is total bunk.

According to recent reports, the Biden campaign has been flooded with calls from donors who have concerns about the president’s chances of winning re-election after last Thursday’s debate.
Many Democrats are now raising the alarm that Biden will get beat by his Republican rival, President Donald Trump.
Democrat allies of the president and many of his staunchest supporters in the liberal media have even pressured the president to step down.
Most are citing Biden’s obvious cognitive decline during the debate.

“Biden is not the man he was four years ago,” The New York Times editorial board wrote on Friday.
“The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant.
“He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term.
“He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations.
“He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans.
“More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.”
