The president\u2019s stunningly poor debate performance has sparked a full-on meltdown across the Democratic Party. Donors are fretting. The editorial boards of the nation\u2019s largest newspapers are urging Biden to exit the race, as are influential columnists. And Democrats running down the ticket are scrambling to separate themselves from their struggling standard-bearer. But there are still ways in which Biden and his allies can stop his bad night from turning into curtains for his political career. Here are some of the key things to watch to see whether he can pull it off:<\/p>\n<p>The polls aren\u2019t likely to look pretty for the president over the next few days. But those surveys are also likely to overstate the magnitude of his decline \u2014 just as they oversold his lead after his first debate against Donald Trump four years ago. After Biden\u2019s first showdown with Trump in 2020 \u2014 regarded as a trainwreck in which the then-president was seen as belligerent \u2014 polls showed Biden ahead by double digits. That was an artificial sugar high for the Democrat, and there\u2019s a simple explanation why: Republicans didn\u2019t want to respond to polls when the news was bad for their candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Polls rely on representative samples of voters who are willing to be interviewed. And pollsters work hard to adjust for shortcomings in their respondent pools, such as imbalances in gender, race, or educational attainment. But after an event like last week\u2019s debate, the electorate can simply be hard to accurately poll if a key set of voters \u2014 in this case, shell-shocked Democrats \u2014 are unwilling to talk about how they\u2019re feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Even if pollsters take the extra step of adding political attitudes to those weighting variables \u2014 like voters\u2019 partisan identification or registration or their recalled 2020 vote choice \u2014 they still risk missing some voters who are tuning out politics and surveys in a low moment for their candidate. Biden\u2019s campaign is already making this argument. In a memo to reporters on Saturday, campaign chair Jen O\u2019Malley Dillon cited the example then-President Barack Obama\u2019s poor performance in the first debate against Mitt Romney in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we do see changes in polling in the coming weeks, it will not be the first time that overblown media narratives have driven temporary dips in the polls,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIn 2012, we saw media coverage of President Obama\u2019s first debate performance drive a large, but temporary, drop in his polling \u2013 driven almost entirely by fewer Democrats answering polls in the days after the debate, rather than true changes in support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Will Biden start embracing the press to reach the kind of audience that watched him Thursday? Over 51 million people watched Biden stumble and bumble for 90 minutes straight on national television. That will be hard to undo. Only a small fraction of that number watched his campaign\u2019s livestream of a rally the next day in which he tried to reframe his performance \u2014 and quell widespread Democratic panic over it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I\u2019m not a young man, to state the obvious,\u201d a reinvigorated, though still coughing, Biden said to a cheering crowd in Raleigh, North Carolina. \u201cI don\u2019t walk as easy as I used to. I don\u2019t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don\u2019t debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know \u2014 I know how to tell the truth.\u201d Several news networks carried his remarks live, and clips of the speech that his campaign shared online racked up millions of views within minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/06\/30\/will-biden-recover-from-debate-00165934\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/06\/30\/will-biden-recover-from-debate-00165934\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/will-biden-recover-from-his-debate-debacle-heres-what-to-watch\/\">Will Biden recover from his debate debacle?
