A former spokesperson for first lady Jill Biden has called for heads to roll at the White House in response to President Biden’s increasingly dismal poll numbers.
Michael LaRosa, who served as the first lady’s press secretary from January 2021 to August 2022, blamed the 80-year-old commander in chief’s team for failing on the messaging front.
“New CNN poll: Trump has more favorable points + Biden has more negative points. This is inexcusable for a man universally known for his character + integrity. It is the result of not responding to defamations, lies, conspiracies and misinformation for months, which allowed an information gap to be filled.” LaRosa wrote in a thread Tuesday night.
The former White House staffer was referring to a recently released CNN/SSRS poll in which Biden posted a 36% to 59% favorable-unfavorable rating, while Trump posted a 38% favorable-unfavorable rating. 56%.

Trump also beat Biden by 49% to 45% among registered voters in that poll.
“I have been a squeaker for months arguing that this is the wrong approach to the Republican Party’s attacks on Biden’s integrity, reputation and family,” LaRosa added. “Poll after survey validates everything I’ve been saying and writing for months. Changing your team now will make it seem like you really care + see the same numbers [sic] we make.”
LaRosa, a former MSNBC producer, has been publicly concerned for months about Biden’s communications strategy, calling for a more strident defense against Republican criticism.
Michael LaRosa has been critical of Biden’s communications sector for some time.

“We are confident that the American people will send President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House to continue working for them.”
The Democratic successes come after a better-than-expected performance in the 2022 midterm elections, which also served to briefly calm concerns about the president’s political capital heading into 2024.

Some analysts have noted that former President Barack Obama’s poll numbers were also below the level expected at this point in his presidency before his 2012 re-election victory.
