Trump leading Biden nationally and in swing states after debate, CBS News poll finds

President Biden's rough week isn't getting any relief from the latest CBS News poll that shows Donald Trump leading him by two points nationally and three points in battleground states among likely voters. CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes has more on the growing concerns from Democrats about the president's standing in the race after his poor debate performance last week.

Next excuse - The dog ate my debate prep materials!

Why is the white house acting like the American people are stupid? It wasn't because of a cold and he finished traveling 11 days before the debate.

[Jcharon]

The man can’t even remember his excuses. He has a new one every day

[BionicDance]

Remember when Bernie was "too old"? 🙄

[denniedollreborn]

I don’t understand why the media cares if Trump is leading nationally. It’s the right thing for this country. So stop acting like we are crazy for having an opinion

[loulex]

Yes, he had a cold, jet lag, brains freeze, mumbling, bumbling, fumbling, alzheimer, lost in space, blank stare, twilight zone, fell down, stand up fall down again, again, again. Just being old, weak & tired. Time to retire.
Done!! It's done. The voters made up our minds.

White House strategy: Okay, after this pathetic performance, let’s make some garbage excuses and continue to gaslight all of our supporters through a thin veil. Then we’ll circle back and check to see how the polls shake out.

He stayed in David Camp for a whole week to rest and prepare for the debate.

Kamala Harris was intentionally vague with that statement 🤔

[silversweet]

He needs to bow out. This is not good.

[Godzillajeff]

when you thought things could not be more absurd. Country is a mess.

Whatever Kool-Aid they are drinking, it must taste amazing.

[teischa]

I just find it hard these polls are accurate. Who are they polling? There’s no way half of America is stupid for supporting Biden. No way.

[BrotherLove]

Biden has a cold, a bad night and travel issues 😂
Even he has 11 days to recover from traveling

[dimitrilasscher]

What about project 25 why is CBS not show the real news.

* Nationally:
Donald Trump 50%
Joe Biden 48%

* Battlegrounds:
Donald Trump 51%
Joe Biden 48%

[Maryellengray]

Why aren’t they calling out Biden’s lies?

[kellilien]

Didn't he run for president four times?

[cadizking]

Mitt Romney was leading Obama nationally by 5 points on October 16th, 2012.

I was surprised how Orange Joe BIden got from he day of the debate, where he looked as white as rice, to the following day when he was pandering for votes in Raleigh NC. But thankfully, his cold had disappeared.
