Poll Shows Majority Unsatisfied with Media Coverage of Biden’s Decline
A recent survey reveals that 63% of respondents believe major media journalists were aware of Joe Biden’s mental decline but chose to cover it up. Only 27% think this idea is impossible.
This information comes from a Rasmussen poll conducted with 1,012 potential voters between May 19 and 21. Among those surveyed, significant percentages—57% of Black voters, 66% of Hispanic voters, and 43% of Democrats—believed that journalists like Jake Tupper were complicit in this cover-up.
When asked about the seriousness of the media’s awareness regarding Biden’s decline, a notable 72% labeled it serious, with just 23% disagreeing.
The consensus is quite surprising, given the polarized nature of today’s society. Typically, such polls see left-leaning individuals retreating to defend the media narrative, but this time, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Many feel that corporate media has damaged far more Democrats than Republicans through its tactics. If the media had done its job properly, one might speculate that Biden would have declared he would not seek a second term back in 2022.
This could have given Democrats a chance to conduct a legitimate presidential election, although doubts remain about their ability to defeat Donald Trump in 2024. Still, at least the anxieties surrounding Biden’s fitness would be somewhat alleviated.
Furthermore, there’s concern over the impact on potential Democratic candidates for 2028. Biden’s competence has been widely questioned, leaving others like Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris in a tricky situation as they navigate these waters.
Looking ahead, the upcoming Gallup Voting Tracking Trust results should provide interesting insights. The media, which has been accused of gaslighting the public, faces scrutiny for its role in fueling concerns about Biden’s mental state.
Critics argue that the media misrepresented the reality while trying to convince the public otherwise, leading to a credibility crisis.
The situation has unfolded like a slow-motion train wreck, leaving many observers somewhat relieved to witness this unfolding narrative.
