The President’s head pollster gave Joe Biden early warning that he was not communicating a perception that he was handling immigration, inflation, climate change, and other things including his social spending package…
I have repeated here that Joseph Biden IS BORING….
And when he listens to the progressives in his party and tries to please them?
It gets him in trouble and causes him voter support….
He has NOT broken thru in the media in the way the last two President’s have….
The below NY Times piece points out that Biden was given ample warning that his presidency was having trouble….
He has just failed to act on what can help him polling wise vs what some in his party want that can’t be done or hurts him and the party politically….
The series of confidential polling data and weekly memos presented to Mr. Biden’s inner circle from April of last year to January of this year provides a road map of the declining support of a president whose initial legislative proposals spurred comparisons to the New Deal or the Great Society.
Despite the early warnings from his pollster, Mr. Biden and his top advisers have struggled to prevent either issue from becoming a major political liability. His economic team said inflation was temporary. Turmoil among his immigration aides delayed any serious action to address the border.
For all the ambition of Mr. Biden’s domestic agenda, his pollster also warned him that most voters did not have a clear sense of his economic proposals. Starting last April, [Pollster] Mr. Anzalone urged Mr. Biden to do more to explain his plans for funding new government programs with new taxes on the wealthy. And last January, he wrote that “less than a fifth of voters report having heard a lot about” his climate and social spending package.
With congressional elections just months away, the polling memos underscore the biggest challenges for Mr. Biden and his party as they face the prospect of losing power to Republicans on Capitol Hill.
The correspondence was obtained in reporting for a forthcoming book, “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future.”….

Mr. Anzalone’s memos also presented research on what proposals voters supported.
His firm advised that describing infrastructure and social-spending packages as a means to address supply-chain issues, lower drug costs and tax the rich would be popular with older voters.
Mr. Biden appeared to capitalize on that research, holding various speeches on how his agenda was easing global shortages. His most recent budget proposal included a billionaires’ tax to ensure that the rich “pay their fair share.”
