19. There's also other polls that show him losing.

They pounced on the NYT poll because it's the New York Times and Sienna is a very respected poll.

But there have been two other polls released the last few days that also have Biden losing in these states:

Emerson
Bloomberg/Morning Consult.

These polls were likely done because we're now a year out from the election. It's common a year out to get polls showcasing the election at this point.

The reality is that those who treat those polls as gospel probably shouldn't but those who dismiss these polls also shouldn't.

They definitely indicate what needs to improve from Biden's side to win.

And as much as his campaign will dismiss polls in public (every campaign does when they're losing), they're certainly taking things seriously and understand what their biggest problem areas are so they can focus on those heading into 2024.
