5:05Now PlayingAccording to a new poll from The New York Times, Donald Trump is somehow polling comfortably ahead of President Biden in key swing states across the country. These polls are a clear warning for President Biden that things are not going well, but it may be a little early to read too much into them. After all, the last poll from The Times was an outlier with results that were not replicated in other polls, so there's a good chance these numbers might not be as bad as they seem. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains whether it is time to worry or to ignore these numbers.

A new poll came out this week from the New York Times and CI College, uh, that basically has people on the left absolutely freaking out. And there's a reason they're freaking out. This new poll shows that President Biden is actually losing to Donald Trump in five out of six crucial swing states that if Trump does carry in next year's election, he will win the presidency. Like not may win the presidency. Trump carries all the states he's winning in right now. According to this poll, he wins the presidency. Here's how, here's how this breaks down. Uh, Trump leads Biden 52 to 41% in Nevada. That's a massive gap. 49 to 43% in Georgia. That's not surprising. It's Georgia. I think the 2020 election was a fluke in Georgia. I wouldn't consider it a swing state by any stretch. 49 to 44% in Arizona, 48 to 43% in Michigan, and 48 to 44% in Pennsylvania.
The only swing state, you know, vital swing state, no offense to the rest of y'all, uh, that Biden wins in is Wisconsin, where he's ahead 47 to 45% in the polls. So five outta six crucial swing states. President Biden is losing some of them, of course by double digits. Is it time for the Biden administration, the Biden campaign to panic? Yes it is. Is it time for the voters on the left who want not Trump to be in the White House next year? Is it time for them to panic? Hell no. Now how can one group have to panic about this poll and another group not have to panic about this poll? I'm glad I asked myself that question. I will provide an answer. Biden and his campaign need to understand that he is not popular. I know some people get if I say that.
Whatever. It's the truth. He's not looking at his approval rating and it'll show you. Biden needs to do something to fix it. And a lot of the problem with his unpopularity actually has nothing to do with him. It's because his administration is not good at the narrative. The economy is getting better. Inflation is going down, things are looking up. Granted, there's still problems. Like I'm not saying there's no more problems in the United States. There are, but if you look at where we are today compared to where we were three years ago, things are astronomically better than they were and they continue to get better, right? Record low unemployment. We have unions winning massive victories. Folks. Now granted that's not Biden. He has supported them, which is also big. So I don't understand the hatred of Biden. I get it from a further left standpoint. Like we want more than what he's done. But just your average voter out there, like I don't see how y'all can be at what he's done. Like the only reason to be mad at him is because he's not doing
As much as we would like on the left. Nevertheless, these are the numbers or are they? See, that brings me to the other side of it. Why the left shouldn't panic. 'cause the last time the New York Times came out with a poll showing, holy crap, president Biden's losing by double digits to Trump even among young voters. Turns out about a week or two after that poll came out, it was revealed that, oh yeah, by the way, we oversampled Republicans by more than 60%. So yeah, two thirds of the people we talked to in the poll were Republicans, oopsie do. So that poll was garbage. So now the New York Times has a new poll that says, Hey look, oh my God, Biden's getting crushed. Really? Is he?
