Staff Reports
Well, it looks like Joe Biden’s debate disaster is paying off for Donald Trump in a big way. A recent New York Times-Siena College poll has shown that Trump’s lead over Biden has swelled significantly since the latest presidential blunder session. Conducted from June 28 through Tuesday, the poll reports that Trump is leading nationally among likely voters by 49% to Biden’s 43%.
This is a considerable gain for Trump, showcasing a 3-point improvement compared to the survey numbers rolling in just before Biden’s Houdini act at the debate. Clearly, the American public’s perception of coherent leadership doesn’t include dozing off at the mic or forgetting which state they’re in.
Trump jumps out to 6-point lead following debate disaster for Biden: Poll

The Biden campaign, in full panic mode, sent out an urgent memo to staff on Wednesday. Their mission? Damage control, of course. With the polls signaling a grim forecast for Biden, the clock is ticking down to Election Day, and they need a plan that doesn’t involve pushing pudding cups and reruns of Matlock.
For Biden, the deep hole metaphor is becoming almost literal. As the narrative shapes up with just four months until the election, it’s apparent he needs more than just a shovel; he might want to consider a bulldozer to dig himself out of this mess. The memo to Biden staff didn’t just try to spin the bad news—it practically begged for strategies to reverse the downward spiral.
Updates on this story should be rolling in faster than Biden’s infamous verbal gaffes, so stay tuned as the political circus unfolds. In the meantime, let’s appreciate the irony of a sitting president striving to match the popularity of the very man he replaced. Feels a bit like déjà vu, doesn’t it?
