Surprise! MSNBC's Morning Joe actually gives positive perspective on Biden's poll numbers!

I was so shocked hearing what was coming out of the television this morning that I was late for work.

Multiple head to head polls show Biden ahead of Trump by varying percentages. Instead of picking out a low grade ABC news poll that gives the orange head a slight advantage, they pulled up a poll with a large sample of voters that showed Biden with a 47-40 lead, and then pointed out that he has a significant lead, over 25 points, among Independent voters. They had to put some negativity in there, so they complained about Democrats whining about Biden's poll numbers, while noting that he won the Presidency at 78, has a longer list of bi-partisan legislative accomplishments than anyone since Lyndon Johnson, kept the Senate in his party at mid-terms and no red wave materialized.

More of that!

The media really has it in for Biden, but he's a big favorite over Trump right now, you wouldn't know it though.

Joe wasn't very kind to him, after he helped get him elected, of course.

“Dead intern” Joe, as it was his constant interruptions and talking over Mika, and his pro-Marmalardo Mussolini fetishism. Since I’m boycotting CNN (Confederate News Network), I miss a morning news feed since I WFH.

And he does it a lot when Mika is just trying to direct traffic and get the show to commercial break.

I guess it's a break from him blathering on incessantly about baseball.

I don’t trust Joe Scarborough. I prefer it when he doesn’t constantly slam all things Dem. But I still don’t trust him. He lived and thrived in the enemy camp for too long.
