Asked why the former president performed so significantly better than the current president, Enten said it was because “the Trump coalition is changing” and becoming more racially diverse.
He noted that while the Republican candidate has lost some support among white voters, he has gained ground among non-white voters.
“The sense that Mr. Biden can do little to improve the country’s fortunes has weakened his standing among young, black and Hispanic voters who often represent the base of the Democratic presidential path,” The New York Times wrote in an article on Monday. .
The left-leaning Times believes that the poll results show that Americans believe that the country is in chaos under the Biden administration.
“The survey results reveal widespread dissatisfaction with the current state of the country and cast serious doubts about Mr. Biden’s ability to bring significant improvements to American lives,” the Times said. “Nearly 70 percent of voters say the country’s political and economic systems need major change or even a complete overthrow.”
