Your thoughts?

This story has been corrected to note the overall poll was of registered voters.

President Joe Biden heads into the election year showing alarming weakness among stalwarts of the Democratic base, with Donald Trump leading among Hispanic voters and young people. One in 5 Black voters now say they'll support a third-party candidate in November.

In a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, Biden's failure to consolidate support in key parts of the coalition that elected him in 2020 has left him narrowly trailing Trump, the likely Republican nominee, 39%-37%; 17% support an unnamed third-party candidate.

When seven candidates are specified by name, Trump's lead inches up to 3 percentage points, 37%-34%, with independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the top of the third-party candidates at 10%.

The findings underscore the formidable political task the president faces this year to win a second term.

Yeah, it's his fault. If he wanted another round, he should have focused on helping the economy and made things cheaper. But because of his new policies raising prices through the roof, he deserves to lose. People want to be able to pay their bills, make the rent on time, pay their things off and live comfortably. They don't want to be forced into buying an overpriced electric car they can't afford. Biden can't even empathize with his fellow Americans. If Biden could have focused on those things....he would probably win for sure. But no, looks like the presidency is going back to Trump instead.
