I wrote a few days ago about the New York Times/Siena poll on the battleground states, which even CNN said was an absolute disaster for Joe Biden, with a massive lead over the Sun Belt states.
As CNN’s Harry Enten explained when looking at the voter numbers, looking at the poll-based map up to 270, that was “Donald Trump’s advantage,” and Biden is up a tree without a paddle in terms of his options, it has a very narrow window.
It even drives Joe crazy and denies the polls, convincing himself he’s ahead.

A hard-working, observant Joe Biden really thinks he’s beating Trump right now (polls be damned)
But like everything with Joe Biden, it can always get worse.
Enten had awarded Minnesota to Biden in his calculations. Biden should be able to count on Minnesota to walk away. No Republican has won Minnesota in the presidential election since 1972. According to official counts, Biden won the state with 7.2 percent in 2020.
But the latest poll for the state shows Biden with just a two-point lead — within the margin of error — and that’s when taking likely voters and others into account.

Oh, and furthermore, they note that the Stormy Daniels legal case had “no discernible impact on the race” and the race is “essentially undecided.”

So much for this legal situation.
This is despite Joe Biden humiliating himself by fluttering around like a fish on the Israel issue and holding back his weapons to appease the left and improve his chances in states like Minnesota. It looks like it was for nothing. He and his team have to be pulling their hair out at this point because they don’t know what to do.
Douglas Murray mocked this perfectly when he spoke to Bill Maher on “Real Time” on Friday about Biden’s strategy toward Israel, saying Biden believes in the “two-state solution” – “Minnesota and Michigan.”

Murray said Biden was trying to please a few hundred thousand and in the end it won’t please anyone. That sounds exactly right. The people freaking out over the issue won’t be appeased by his wavering actions, and I doubt they’ll stand up for him.
We need to keep an eye on where these numbers go in Minnesota. But if Biden has to worry about defending Minnesota, you know how massive trouble he really is in.
