Biden to Reporter: Why Aren't You Reporting That I'm Winning in the Last Five Polls?

Chalk this up to Joe Biden's "confusion," as Jazz wrote about yesterday, or to his lifelong habit of flat-out lying for self-aggrandizement. Perhaps Biden is "winning" every poll in his own fantasy world, but in reality, he's in trouble -- and Democrats know it.
Now that the smoke has cleared on both sides of the aisle, the two major parties will deliver precisely what almost no one wanted: a rematch of 2020. But contra Biden, he's on the losing end of voter frustration in most polls, although he refuses to admit it (via Power Line):
Five in a row, eh? Over at FiveThirtyEight, Biden hasn't won five general-election polls in the past month. The three he did win were the most recent TIPP and Morning Consult polls, both by a single point over Trump (virtual ties, in other words), and a +7 over Haley Beacon Research poll that put Trump over Biden by two.
It's just as grim at RealClearPolitics, where the poll listings are a little easier to follow. To chalk up five polling wins for Biden, even of the +1 variety, you have to count back to January 29th's Quinnipiac poll. In that same period of time, however, Trump has led in twenty general-election polls. And they're not putting him up against Dean Phillips, either.
