President Biden remains unconvinced by polls showing a challenging reelection battle against former President Trump, dismissing them as inaccurate and biased in favor of his opponent.

Biden in 'denial' about polls showing him trailing Trump: Report

President Biden has repeatedly expressed skepticism about recent polls indicating a difficult election contest against former President Trump in November, dismissing the data as erroneous and portraying himself as the frontrunner.

Despite a series of surveys showing Trump leading in crucial swing states, Biden has maintained that his polling numbers are strong, particularly among likely voters. He has also accused the media of suppressing positive polling results.

At a campaign event in California, Biden claimed that the momentum is in his favor, with polls moving towards him and away from Trump. He asserted that the media is not accurately reporting the polling data, which he alleges shows him beating Trump.

However, a recent batch of polls from The New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Siena College paints a different picture. In Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, and Michigan, Trump leads Biden in a head-to-head matchup. Biden only narrowly leads in Wisconsin.

Despite these polls, Biden has continued to tell supporters that he is outperforming Trump. He has pointed to his strength among likely voters, claiming that he is ahead in 10 out of the last 23 national polls.

Biden's campaign has not responded to requests for comment on the polling data.

Some Democrats have expressed concern about Biden's apparent denial of the challenging political landscape. They believe he is not taking his position seriously enough and may be underestimating the threat posed by Trump.

The inclusion of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in the polls appears to benefit Trump. In Arizona, Trump takes 42% of the vote to Biden's 33% and Kennedy's 10%. In Nevada, 41% support Trump, 27% Biden, and 12% Kennedy.

Biden's dismissal of the polls has raised questions about his strategy for the upcoming election. Some analysts believe he may be attempting to manage expectations and avoid panic among his supporters.

However, the polls serve as a reminder that Biden is facing an uphill battle in key battleground states. If he is unable to turn the tide, he could face a difficult path to reelection.
