Mike Huckabee: Biden is toast, 'buttered on both sides'
In case you missed it, I was on Newsmax, talking about why Biden is toast, buttered on both sides. Here's the video:

What is behind Biden's sinking poll numbers?
For years, I’ve been warning my audiences not to put too much stock in polls, especially not polls taken far in advance of elections, which tend to be as useless as Kamala Harris. In politics, a month can be a lifetime, so imagine what a poll two years in advance is worth.
However, it can be fun to watch the panicked reactions of people who do take these polls seriously, particularly when the results pop their comfortable bubbles. Like the latest poll from ABC and the Washington Post, which I’m sure they hated having to report. It found that if the 2024 election were held today (spoiler alert: it won’t be), Trump would beat Biden 49-42%. Ron DeSantis also leads Biden by 48-41%.
This comes amid federal agencies, leftist prosecutors and big media outlets throwing everything they have at Trump and trying to puff up his every phone call and sideways glance into a felony. Still, he’s extended his lead over Biden to 7 points. But the poll gets even worse for Biden.
It also found that even among Biden’s supporters, only 32% say they would definitely vote for him. The rest say “probably” or they “lean toward him” (don’t lean too hard, he’ll fall over!) Since February, Biden’s overall approval rating has dropped from 42 to 36%, one point lower than his previous record low. His disapproval rating is 56%, with 47% disapproving “strongly.” He’s well below 50% approval with groups that normally back Democrats, such as urban dwellers, the non-religiously-affiliated, non-white adults and voters under 30, who give him a dismal 26% approval.
In terms of who did a better job handling the economy, Trump leads Biden 54-36% (why that’s not 100-0 is beyond me.)
Maybe most devastating (because it’s only likely to get worse): 63% believe Biden doesn’t have the mental sharpness to be President and 62% think he’s not physically up to the job. Solid majorities believe Trump is mentally and physically up to it.
Former Bill Clinton strategist Mark Penn believes Biden’s poll drop was sparked by his announcement that he’s running for reelection.
I can see that. Democrats might have been willing to slap on a happy face and deny reality for another two years (after all, denying reality has become their entire policy platform), but the idea of either going down in flames in 2024, or possibly even worse, winning and having Biden for another six years, is probably terrifying even for them.
