CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten asserted on Thursday that President Joe Biden’s primary performance as an incumbent candidate is historically “weak,” with the lowest before him being George H.W. Bush, who subsequently lost his bid for reelection.
The race between Biden and former President Donald Trump appears to be tightening across seven crucial battleground states, according to a Monday Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey. Enten on “CNN News Central” noted that presidential primary results are reflecting the overall polling, with Trump performing stronger than in the last election; the data reporter added that the discourse about former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley’s protest vote share in the Republican primaries is overly hyped and that Biden is performing historically poorly in his party’s primaries.
