While Joe Scarborough analyzed the recent Biden vs Trump Poll on 'Morning Joe,' Internet seems to be unimpressed with 'lazy' reporting

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Morning Joe’ host Joe Scarborough discussed a recent poll between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump where Biden was leading by 2 points.

During this discussion Scarborough also mentioned Republicans “bashing” Democrats when it comes to “issues,” and the ‘Morning Joe’ host faced backlash for the same on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In this discussion, Scarborough shed more light on the Democratic and Republican parties, and how they are not “liked or trusted” by more than 50% of the popular.

‘Morning Joe’ hosts discuss latest Donald Trump vs Joe Biden poll

On ‘Morning Joe,’ hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were joined by Jonathan Lemire, as Scarborough mentioned the latest polls.

He said, “There has been one poll after another poll after another poll this week that have shown that the Republicans are just absolutely bashing Democrats when it comes to issues.”

Scarborough continued, “In fact, Gallup had a poll a few days ago where they reported the largest gap between Republicans and Democrats since they started taking these polls.”

“Despite the fact Republicans have a massive lead, we always go, like, how could people still go along, and Republicans go along with Donald Trump?” asked Scarborough.

The ‘Morning Joe’ host also added, “Both parties are not liked or trusted by 56%, 57%, 58% of the population. And Joe Biden in the latest poll that's out, among likely voters, beating Donald Trump by three points.”

As Scarborough, Brzezinski, and Lemire continued discussing the polls, the internet was focused on Scarborough’s statements that “Republicans are just absolutely bashing Democrats when it comes to issues,” which was also shared on X.

Internet accuses 'Morning Joe' of 'sheer laziness' 

After ‘Morning Joe’s official X account shared a quote by Joe Scarborough from the segment titled, “Biden leads Trump in general election polling, but GOP leads Dems on the issues,” on YouTube, the internet was quick to respond.

One person wrote, “What? Bashing Democrats on what issues? What does that even mean?” and another said, “I’ll listen to y’all when Joe stops speaking over Mika.”

“This type of reporting is why I don't watch @Morning_Joe  anymore,” wrote one user, and another said, “You repeat the same story over and over again over the FOUR hours you've been given. Sheer laziness, IMO. Especially the constant droning on about the polls. @MSNBC should give at least three of those hours to someone else actually willing to work.”

Some have even decided to “block” ‘Morning Joe’ as one user wrote, “I have to block you now.  I can't stand gaslighting and propaganda.” Another user said, “Instead of the mute button, I’m not turning the channel on.”
