'The Five' co-hosts react to a recent report President Biden's approach to 2024 is go for former President Trump's 'jugular.'

While Joe Biden is in striking distance of Donald Trump in the polls, the way the White House is approaching the upcoming election does not provide us with any degree of confidence they have a winning strategy, approach or message other than demonizing Trump as they did in 2020 and 2022.

The problem with this approach is that elections tend to be a referendum on incumbent politicians, most of all. And so far, the polls show that currently, voters feel better about how their quality of life was under Trump than it is under Biden, suggesting that this is a contest the incumbent is much more likely to lose than to win.

A new national poll by Schoen Cooperman Research shows former President Trump leading President Biden by two points (47% to 45%). RealClear Politics’ general election polling average comes to a similar conclusion, with Trump leading Biden 47.5% to 45.5%.

Worse, Biden’s approval rating sits at 38%, according the latest Wall Street Journal poll and averages 39.6 points on RCP. In our experience, when an incumbent has an approval rating below 40%, it is virtually impossible for him to be re-elected. Therefore, this is not just a warning sign, but a sign of a near-death electoral experience.
