A new poll from Washington Post and ABC has been making headlines this week, because the poll shows that Donald Trump has a 10 point lead over President Biden's election process this year. Biden's campaign is telling everyone to ignore the polls. It's an outlier. And Democrats are going crazy. What does it take? I mean, you watch staff, when they start getting comments, it's gonna be God almighty, how dare you talk about this? This is all a sham. What is it going to take? You know what? I gotta tell you, I saw the article that I think you sent over to me. Cenk Uygur's a friend of ours. Matter of fact, Cenk and I used to do TV together. We did radio together. We did Air America together, right? You did too. You were one of the producers there. And so here you got Cenk Uygur, God, this infuriated people when he wrote this for Newsweek, all he was doing is telling the truth. He's just saying, look, what is it about Democrats that they want to hide from the truth? That they're like children. That you tell 'em something they don't want to hear and they go spastic on you. What is that about? That's what he's saying here. He's saying you sound like a Dem MAGA. You sound like a MAGA, a blue MAGA is what you sound like. So pick it up. Start with Cenk's story. I think he did a great job here.

Yeah, he really did. And what he's pointing out in this piece that he wrote, is just that, listen, the polls, and this was by the way, before this poll.

Exactly. I was gonna say that.

Before this poll. He says, the polls are already telling us Biden can't win. And he backs it up perfectly with statistics. He does a beautiful job with it. And he points out the fact that, listen, back in 2020, this guy had a 10 point lead, but still only won by a few thousand votes in three different states. He had a slim margin of victory with the electoral college. So even when he was polling way ahead of Trump, he still barely beat him. And now, in the best case scenario, even if this poll here is an outlier, they're still tied in all the other polls. Like, that's the problem.

That's the problem. That's the tie issue. Let's give 'em that. This is not an out, ABC and Washington Post, they would never have printed this had they thought this was an outlier. So, but what you've got here is you've got, I mean, we're talking about what, I'm trying to think of the, what was it, 63 felony charges. No, 91.

91.

91 Felony charges against Trump. Three different districts. He's labeled, some of this stuff is true. You know the guy's got some criminal conduct going on here. But even with that, they're saying, well, I'm sorry. We don't trust the guy. We just don't trust him. And it's a lot more complicated than that, isn't it?

Yeah. And also in this new poll, it shows that Trump's approval rating has jumped up 10 points.

How could that?

Since he left office. And look, we saw the same thing with George W. Bush, though, because he left office historically unpopular. And then a year or two later, everybody's like, well, I mean, he wasn't that bad because the public has an attention span of about two days, and they can't remember what happened a week ago. So they're like, well, was Trump really that bad? I mean, was it that horrible? The answer is, yes, it was.

What I love about this, Washington Post, they did a nice job on this story. They didn't just say, we did a poll and we're not going to stand behind it. They stood behind this poll and they break it down. I think really interesting the way they break it down.
