And?
THAT is something President Biden has NO control over …..
Most of the voters in the NY Times Sienna poll are about high consumer prices….
Some will not vote, some will vote for Biden and Yes….Some will vote for Donald Trump even if they do N OT personally like him…
Those saying they would switch to Trump from Biden where about 6% in the poll….
Most of the Biden defectors seem to want change and are NOT really engaged in Donald Trump crazy assed personna …They just want something different that Biden…
They ARE a smaller group they those that will stick WITH Biden….
Altogether, the defectors account for just 6 percent of registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the new surveys by The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College. But they could play a decisive role.
They include Democrats, Republicans and independents who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020. Many still support Democrats for Senate, suggesting that Mr. Biden still has a chance to regain support from some of them.
Jaredd Johnson, 25, who works in marketing in Atlanta, said he supported Mr. Biden in 2020 because he hoped he would return the country to a prepandemic normal, but he doesn’t think he has. Though Mr. Johnson has reservations about Mr. Trump, he plans to vote for him.
He said he worries that priorities abroad are distracting from those at home. In conversations with friends and family, he said, they understand the importance of supporting Ukraine and Israel, sending aid to Gaza and helping immigrants.
But, he said, “Our conversations are suddenly less about what’s happening overseas and more about how we are struggling here, too.”
Biden defectors are likelier than others who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020 to say the economy is poor and to want fundamental change to the way things work. They more often are young or Hispanic — groups that have historically voted for Democrats in large numbers, but are to some degree moving toward Republicans. (There are not major differences in the education level of voters who are sticking with Mr. Biden and those who aren’t.)
The surveys found fewer voters moving in the other direction: There were less than half as many Trump defectors in the swing states as there were Biden defectors….
…
Though the economy is strong by many traditional measures, half of all registered voters in the surveys said it was poor — including nearly three-quarters of Biden defectors. By comparison, just one in six of those who plan to vote for Mr. Biden again rated the economy as poor.
In interviews, the Biden defectors repeatedly brought up prices. Inflation is still lingering at 3.4 percent, although it has slowed significantly since its 2022 high (9 percent)….
…
Biden defectors were more likely than Biden supporters to say the country needs big, fundamental change. Nearly six in 10 defectors believe that, while a similar share of Biden loyalists say they want to return politics to normal.
“All of our core values are gone, gone, and I’m just not pleased at all,” said Amelia Earwood, 47, a safety trainer at the U.S. Postal Service in Georgia.
She believes the American political and economic systems need to be torn down. Her list of dissatisfactions is long: inflation, illegal immigration, the Biden administration’s recent delay of an arms shipment to Israel.
She called Mr. Trump “a horrible human being,” but added, “I’m voting on his policies, and I think that he could straighten this country out, while Biden made a ginormous mess out of it.”….
