Click here to listen back to all of Aaron’s conversations – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” at 7:30 a.m. on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.
Every other Monday, Aaron is joined at 8:30 a.m. by Tom Jensen, the director of Public Policy Polling, for a longstanding regular segment called “What We’re Thinking,” looking at recent survey numbers and discussing what they tell us about American public opinion – election-related and otherwise.
Tom discusses some rough poll numbers for Joe Biden following last week’s poor report on his memory, suggesting that he’d likely lose the presidential election if it were held today. There are still several key Biden-leaning groups who still need to be convinced to vote for him again – and he’s not being helped by a national media that overanalyzes his every mistake while letting Donald Trump’s many indictments largely slide. Despite that, though, Democrats continue to outperform expectations in special elections; another one in New York this week (to replace George Santos in Congress) will tell us if that trend still holds.
