A new CNN poll over the weekend reveals a host of bad news for President Joe Biden, including a six-point deficit, 49 percent to 43 percent, in his head-to-head matchup with former President Donald Trump.
But perhaps the most interesting is a stunning 71 percent of American voters disapprove of the way Biden is handling the war between Israel and Hamas. This includes 81 percent disapproval of those 35 and younger and 53 percent disapproval among Democrats.
One other interesting note in the poll: 55 percent of Americans see Trump’s presidency as a success while just 39 percent say the same of Biden.
David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, has been monitoring the events of the war and reactions here in the United States. He joins us now to discuss the CNN poll, Israel’s war with Hamas, and the ongoing antisemitic protests on American campuses.
Q&A:
1. Do the numbers on this CNN poll surprise you?
2. Why do you suppose Biden’s numbers are so low regarding his handling of the war?
3. Will this change anything in the Biden administration?
4. Would former President Donald Trump have handled this differently?
5. Considering the awful display of antisemitism we are seeing on college campuses, is it encouraging to see Americans turning on a president who has given Israel minimal support?
6. Do you believe the troubling display on college campuses has damaged Biden’s standing on Israel in the eyes of American voters?
7. Meanwhile, as the battle continues against Hamas, do you see an end to this war any time soon?
8. Tell us more about the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund and how it’s helping people right now.
9. Where can we learn more about the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund, as well as what else you’re working on?
