Joe Biden Fires Back After New Poll Favors Obama Over Trump
Joe Biden may be out of office, but he’s not staying quiet. A new nationwide poll has drawn a sharp response from the former president after revealing that Americans still prefer Barack Obama to Donald Trump.
According to a Marquette University survey of 1,005 U.S. adults, 57% view Obama favorably compared to 42% for Trump—giving Obama a +17 favorability rating versus Trump’s -15.
Speaking at a Nebraska Democratic Party gala, Biden blasted Trump’s leadership and mocked his decision to demolish part of the White House East Wing for a ballroom.
“I knew Trump would take a wrecking ball to the country, but I didn’t know it would be literal,” Biden said. “He’s wrecked not just the people’s house, but the Constitution and our democracy.”
Biden also slammed Trump’s claim that America is in a “golden age.”
“The only gold is the stuff he’s hanging on the mantle,” Biden said. “You work for us—not just the billionaires.”
His comments come months after revealing his prostate cancer diagnosis, described as “aggressive” with bone metastasis. Following radiation treatment, Biden thanked his medical team and criticized Trump and Republicans for cutting healthcare funding.
