CNN Admits It: America Wants The Bidens To Just ‘Go Away’

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said on Thursday that the American people were sending a very clear message to former President Joe Biden and his family: “Go away.”

Enten discussed the Bidens and their apparent waning popularity even as former first lady Jill Biden continues to do press for her new memoir, “View From The East Wing” — and as Joe Biden is expected to release a memoir later in the year.

Americans have one message for the Bidens: Go away.

Joe Biden left office tremendously unpopular & remains so (-19 pt net favorable).

He’s by far the least popular of any former Dem prez at this point after their presidency.

Anchor John Berman asked Enten how the Bidens were doing in terms of popularity following Jill Biden’s book release, and the short answer was clear: not well.

“The American people have one message for the Bidens that is: go away!” Enten said, repeating, “Go away!”

“I mean, just look at this. Look at Biden’s net favorable rating in January of 2025; it was -22 points. Has it gone any better? No, not really,” Enten continued. “He’s still way underwater here at -19 points. He’s 28 points underwater with independents. Joe Biden ended his term as president as quite unpopular. And he remains quite unpopular.”

Enten went on to reveal why even some Democrats who might personally like the former president would still prefer that he remained out of the public eye: “He is an anchor to the Democratic Party and potentially their fortunes in the 2026 midterm elections.”

Berman asked how Biden compared to other former presidents — particularly Democrats — and the news did not get any better: former Presidents Barack Obama (+31), Bill Clinton (-3), and Jimmy Carter (+22) all fared much better than Biden.

The former first lady was in the same proverbial boat as her husband, Enten added.

“Jill Biden – obviously not Joe Biden, though they are married – okay, just look at this. Was she a popular first lady? Dem first lady’s net favorability at the end of their final term? She was just two points above water. Obviously, not as bad as Joe Biden, but Michelle Obama was 43 points above water. Hillary Clinton was 13 points above water,” he said.
