Joe Scarborough reports on New Hampshire numbers
On ‘Morning Joe’, host Joe Scarborough spoke about Joe Biden for a good part of the segment as he moved on to the New Hampshire poll.
Scarborough said, “Speaking of Joe Biden, a couple of days ago, we commented here that Joe Biden just may be the generic Democrat that always fares better than Joe Biden the actual candidate.”
“When the election comes, it happens time and again, Joe Biden is always underestimated, Joe Biden wins. That's what he's been doing since 2020. It's what he has been doing since South Carolina,” added Scarborough.
Scarborough then detailed his conversation with a reporter, “So, I had a reporter call me a couple of days ago, doing a story. He said, ‘Help me out here. If you had to pick a number that's most important, like if you could know any number on Election Day, what would it be? Would it be Joe Biden's approval ratings?’ I laugh and go, ‘Not even close. Not even close.’”
‘Morning Joe’ continued to flash Biden’s approval ratings in New Hampshire, which was only at 37%.
Scarborough then switched up to the “Hypothetical 2024 election matchup” in New Hampshire, where Biden was leading Donald Trump by 5 points.
“The point being, okay, people are just liking to bitch and moan sometimes when they're talking to pollsters. When it's Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and the swing states that matter the most, they're just going to break for Biden,” explained Scarborough.
