I know some previous Trump supporters have flipped support away from Trump but don't know how many. And I don't know how many Biden supporters have flipped to Trump.

There is so much anti-Biden/pro-Trump propaganda circulating in the social media (X the only one I'm familiar with) that some people are believing and there is always the "it's the economy, stupid" argument, the border and the wars.

Biden can't fix inflation and has no control over the wars. But I really believe he should try to do something with the border to change the 'impression' people have with his actions today.

I don't know what he can do but he appears to not have done anything which will be a voter consideration.
