NBC Sounds Alarm as Trump Trounces Biden on Inflation, Fitness, and Competence.

Donald Trump leads Joe Biden for a third straight NBC News national poll, 46 percent to 44 percent, and has a substantial lead over the incumbent in several key metrics. These include the public’s view of who has the stronger record, who is more mentally and physically fit for the presidency, and who would handle a crisis and issues such as inflation better. NBC journalists are sounding the alarm, calling the findings a “clear liability” for Biden.

Trump’s lead over Biden is strongest on dealing with inflation and the cost of living, at 22 points. This reflects separate polling that found 75 percent of Americans believe the cost of living is getting worse, with most people in this bloc favoring Trump over Biden. Similarly, Trump is favored by voters who believe their income is average, below average, or far below average. Biden is only favored by voters who believe their income is above average or far above average.

Trump also leads Biden by 19 points in terms of mental and physical fitness for office, by 11 points on general competence and effectiveness, by seven points on having a strong record of accomplishment, and by four points on crisis management.

‘A CLEAR LIABILITY.’

“Who has the strong record as president? … Trump [is] outpacing Biden on that front… Necessary mental and physical health. We asked this four years ago. It was a wash. It’s now a clear liability for Joe Biden. So these are all troubling numbers for Biden,” commented Steve Kornacki, a senior NBC and MSNBC correspondent.

Trump led Biden by five points in the NBC News national poll for January 2024 and by two points in November 2023. The America First leader was tied with Biden in September. The 81-year-old Democrat last polled ahead of Trump in July.

However, Biden takes a two-point lead over Trump when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is included in polling. This suggests the lifelong Democrat now takes more votes from Trump than the incumbent.

RFK Jr. Takes Another Step Towards The National Debate Stage.

On the same day as a dozen of his family members expressed their support for President Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. secured a spot on the official ballot in Michigan, a critical swing state in the November presidential election. The ballot qualification moves Kennedy one step closer to qualifying for the 2024 presidential debates.

Kennedy will need to make enough state presidential ballots to be able to win at least 270 electoral votes. Michigan currently awards 15 electors for the Electoral College, boosting the number Kennedy can win — given the current states in which he’s qualified for the ballot — to 52. The independent candidate has over a month until he’ll need to file finalized petitions to qualify for the Texas and New York ballots — with almost every other U.S. state coming thereafter.

The National Pulse previously reported that Kennedy could make the debate stage. In addition to being mathematically competitive in the Electrical College, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) requires candidates to achieve an average of 15 percent of the vote across five national presidential polls. The CPD stipulates which polls qualify.

Kennedy and his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, received the nomination from the Natural Law Party, approving their candidacy in Michigan for president and vice president, respectively. Natural Law Party Chairman Doug Dern, in a statement from the independent candidate’s campaign, described Kennedy as “the most qualified candidate in the modern-day history of America.”

Joe Biden Repeats Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Hoax.

In a campaign visit to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday President Joe Biden repeated the Trump “bloodbath” hoax.

During a speech, Biden said that former President Donald Trump “means it” when he allegedly called for a “bloodbath.” In reality, Trump did not call for a bloodbath, but used the term to describe the state of the U.S. auto industry under Joe Biden.

“He called—you know he means it. He argues for another bloodbath when he loses again,” said Biden. Biden’s implication seems to be that Trump is calling for violence should he lose the election.

The National Pulse previously reported that the “bloodbath” hoax was started by MeidasTouch Network, a White House-linked media group known for its controversial contributors and its promotion of anti-Trump disinformation.

Last month, Trump blasted the media for promoting the hoax. “The Fake News Media, and their Democrat Partners in the destruction of our Nation, pretended to be shocked at my use of the word BLOODBATH, even though they fully understood that I was simply referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden, which are killing the automobile industry,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Biden Cheers On His Government’s Lawfare Campaign Against Trump.

Joe Biden cheered his government’s lawfare campaign against former President Donald Trump while campaigning in Pennsylvania on Thursday. The 81-year-old Democrat incumbent made the remarks while speaking at the United Steelworkers headquarters in Pittsburgh.

“Under my predecessor, who’s a little busy right now, Pennsylvania lost 275,000 jobs,” Bided said, referring to Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee currently confined to a Manhattan courtroom. The reference to Trump’s ongoing hush money trial brought by Biden-ally and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg may come as a surprise to the President’s campaign advisors. Thursday morning, POLITICO reported that the Biden campaign and national Democrats planned to say as little as possible about the ongoing lawfare campaign aimed to interfere with Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

During a press call on Monday, the Biden campaign communications director, Michael Tyler, hinted they and their surrogates would remain relatively quiet on Trump’s trial. “Look, Donald Trump and his team are going to have to speak to his legal issues,” Tyler said. He added: “No matter where Donald Trump is, whether it’s in Mar-a-Lago or a courtroom or anywhere else — he will be focused on himself, his toxic agenda, his campaign of revenge and retribution.”

Judge Juan Merchan, whose daughter has deep ties to national Democrats, ordered that Trump be present at court every day his trial is in session. If the former President skips a date to campaign — or even attend his son Barron’s high school graduation — Merchan informed Trump he would be arrested.

The National Pulse reported earlier this week that CNN legal analyst and globalist hatchet man Norman Eisen said the quiet part out loud, albeit unintentionally, insisting that the corporate media shouldn’t refer to Bragg’s prosecution as a “hush money” trial but rather an “‘election interference’” trial.

Biden Staffers Have a Nickname for Trump… And It’s Shit.

Younger staff in President Joe Biden‘s White House have taken to derisively referring to former President Donald Trump as “Hitler pig.” The moniker appears to be an attempt to emulate the former President’s penchant for effectively neutralizing opponents by assigning them nicknames and is just the latest in a pattern of the Biden government attempting to connect Trump with the genocidal German dictator, despite the public mostly seeing the comparison as absurd.

This isn’t the first time the Biden White House has made the ludicrous claim. The National Pulse reported in early January that aides with Biden’s re-election campaign often joke about when they will go “full Hitler” and make a stark comparison between Trump and the German war criminal and dictator.

Biden’s campaign aides, at the time, signaled they thought the President needed to push the envelope and not simply accuse Trump of parroting language similar to the leader of the German Nazi Party.

In another incident, the corporate media attempted to smear the former President with the Hitler comparison after he told The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief, Raheem Kassam, that illegal aliens were “poisoning the blood of our country.” Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) pushed back against the media attacks on Trump, noting: “First of all he didn’t say immigrants were poisoning the blood of this country. He said illegal immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country, which is objectively and obviously true.”

“You guys seem far more upset about the guy who criticized the problem than you do about Joe Biden who’s causing this problem,” Vance continued.

“White House nickname for Trump is ‘Hitler Pig.’ How humorless and pathetic is that?” said Marc Thiessen, a former George W. Bush White House speechwriter, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

WORKING CLASS HERO: Data Reveals Those Who Work Longest Hours Support Trump By Massive Margin.

America’s hardest workers favor Donald Trump over Joe Biden by a massive margin, according to new data from Emerson College Polling. People who work 60+ hours a week favor Trump by 80 percent. Just seven percent of these workers back Biden, according to the new data. Trump maintains a strong lead over Biden in the 50-59 hour bracket – 59 percent vs. 35 percent. His lead is 50 percent versus 38 percent in the 40-49 hour bracket.

Only in the 30-40 hour bracket does Biden start to become competitive, leading his predecessor by a slim margin of 45 percent to 43 percent. Among those working 20-29 hours, Biden’s lead rises to 52 versus 37 percent. His lead is similar among those working the fewest hours, at 51 versus 38 percent.

The data also reveals Trump is the candidate of the the working class. The poorer a voter believes themselves to be, the more likely they are to support the 45th president.

Fifty percent of those who believe they have a “far below average” income support Trump, against 32 percent who favor Biden. Trump maintains a 49 to 40 percent lead among those who believe they have a below-average income. His lead is 46 percent to 44 percent among those who believe they have an average income.

Biden only leads among those who believe they have an above-average income, 50 percent to 42 percent. This rises to 55 percent versus 29 percent among those who believe they have a “far above average” income.

People’s perception of the economy is also a useful indicator of their support. Emmerson executive director Spencer Kimball notes: “Voters who think the cost of living is rising support Trump over Biden, 56 percent to 32 percent.”

People who “feel the cost of living is easing or staying” support Biden by significant margins, at 94 percent versus 6 percent and 67 percent versus 18 percent, respectively

These Biden-leaning demographics are small, however. Eighteen percent of voters say the cost of living is staying the same, and seven percent say it is easing. Seventy-five percent of voters are in the Trump-leaning demographic who believe the cost of living is increasing.

Over 50% Say Biden’s Economy is ‘Poor.’

More than half of Americans believe that Joe Biden’s economy is “poor” and less than a quarter believe it is good, according to a new poll from The New York Times/Siena.

The poll, conducted from April 7 to 11, found that 52 percent of Americans describe the current state of the nation’s economy as “poor.” Less than a quarter gave a positive description of the economy, with 17 percent describing it as “good” and just 4 percent describing it as “excellent.” Just over a quarter of respondents — 27 percent – described the economy as “fair.”

Additionally, the poll revealed that a substantial number of Americans are not happy with the direction the country is heading under Biden’s stewardship. Some 64 percent of respondents believe the nation is on the wrong track under President Biden’s leadership. Just 25 percent said the country is on the right track.

Biden’s handling of the economy has been a persistent weakness throughout his presidency. Serious levels of inflation persist as Americans struggle with rising living costs, and nearly all of the ‘new‘ jobs added to the economy under Biden’s watch are the result of individuals taking part-time work.

Biden, Panicking Over RFK, Wheels Out Kennedy Family Endorsements.

The Biden campaign is set to wheel out 15 endorsements from family members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, as polling increasingly reveals RFK takes more votes from Joe Biden than Donald Trump. Siblings of RFK Jr. are set to endorse Joe Biden’s reelection bid on Thursday, including Kerry Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s younger sister.

“Daddy stood for equal justice, human rights, and freedom from want and fear. Just as President Biden does today,” she said of her father, Robert F. Kennedy Sr.

The Biden campaign has hired a team focused on seeing off the threat from RFK Jr., with the Democrats concerned he could act as a spoiler. Past polls have RFK Jr., performing better than any third-party candidate since Ross Perot in the 1990s, with his support pulled roughly equally from Biden and Trump supporters.

RFK recently announced left-wing multi-millionaire Nicole Shanahan as his Vice Presidential pick. Shanahan has donated millions to his campaign, which has been run by a former CIA operative.

RFK’s potential involvement in Presidential debates remains a concern for both major parties. He requires 15 percent of the vote in national polls, as well as securing his position on the ballot in enough states to prove electoral viability. He is currently short of these marks.

Soros PAC Targeting ‘Moderate White Women.’

George Soros‘s Democracy PAC has poured $1 million into the One For All Committee, which targets “moderate white women” in “key battleground states.”

One For All is yet to begin spending on the upcoming election, but spent millions during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles, producing adverts centered on suburban family women and issues such as abortion.

One anti-Donald Trump advert produced by the group claimed he did not listen to Anthony Fauci enough during the Covid pandemic and “pits us against each other.”

In addition to the $1 million it received from Democracy PAC, One For All has received half a million dollars from Reid Hoffman, a Democrat and Nikki Haley megadonor and former guest of Jeffrey Epstein.

Democracy PAC was founded by George Soros, a Hungarian-born financier and convicted insider trader. It has substantial funds to bankroll the likes of One For All, with Soros having armed it with $60 million in January.

THOUSANDS of NYC Bodegas Just Issued a Stunning Statement Backing Donald Trump.

The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG), which represents thousands of bodegas in New York City, has issued a statement backing President Donald J. Trump, slamming local District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and hitting out at local politicians who have ignored the widespread criminality occurring in the city.

“The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG)… is honored to host President Donald J. Trump at the Blue Moon bodega in Manhattan where Jose Alba was arrested for simply defending himself and his business against a convicted felon, the statement began.

“The Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, only backed off after an angry public campaign from store owners and their supporters united behind Mr. Alba and his Constitutional rights. The Bodega and Small Business Group appreciates President Trump’s support on behalf of tougher enforcement for retail thieves that are making our stores more dangerous and less profitable at the same time.

“President Trump’s visit and support comes at a time when our own state legislators have refused to strengthen the laws against repeat retail theft offenders: ‘Legislative Democrats have formally rejected Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposal to make it a felony for assaulting a retail worker, a reflection of how the party remains split over criminal justice issues and how to address voters’
concerns over public safety.’

BSBG president, Fransisco Marte, said: “The visit of President Trump highlights just how much we have lost the way in New York. It is our hope that a former president coming to support NYC’s smallest stores, and also to demonstrate his support for stronger laws and enforcement, will spur our own elected officials to action.”
