Democratic political strategist James Carville said that President Joe Biden and his 2024 campaign team need to be concerned about his low poll numbers, according to remarks on CNN on Thursday.
Carville is credited with engineering Bill Clinton’s victory over incumbent President George H.W. Bush in the 1992 presidential election and with coining the famous phrase “it’s the economy, stupid.” Carville has said that Biden’s 2024 campaign needs to be concerned about his poll numbers, following a poll released on Thursday that showed his approval rating declined to 39% and economic dissatisfaction rose to 58%, according to remarks he made on CNN.
“You can’t look at this and not say that you’re concerned. For me to come on television and say I don’t find this alarming or troubling at all would be stupid. I wouldn’t do that,” Carville said. “To say the least, the polls were not great. It tells us that voters are expressing some apprehension here.”

In Thursday’s poll, conducted by Social Science Research Solutions (SSRS) for CNN, Biden lost in a general election matchup against former Republican Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina and was statistically tied with all other major Republican candidates, including former President Donald Trump.
“The best thing you can say is that they’re worse for Trump,” said Carville, referring to Trump’s personal favorability rating at 35% in the CNN-SSRS poll. “[B]ut, it’s undeniable that there’s apprehension [about Biden].”
Carville also addressed concerns about Biden’s age, which have been espoused by several left-wing commentators and Democratic elected officials. Biden, 80, is the oldest president ever elected to office and will break his own age record if re-elected in 2024.
“This [polling decline] has been going on for a while now. The White House knows this, that the president has an age problem.” In Thursday’s poll, 60% of Democratic respondents said they were “seriously concerned” about Biden’s ability to win the 2024 election because of his age, while 56% doubted his mental and physical competence to serve as president, presently.
“The polling that I’ve seen and that everybody else has seen isn’t very good. There was a memo from a friend, Jim Messina, that Democrats need to quit bedwetting, but my wife has already changed me to rubber sheets.”
The White House and Biden’s 2024 presidential campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
