Fox News’ “The Five” co-host Jesse Watters, who also hosts a top-rated primetime show every weekday evening, gave a stark assessment of President Joe Biden’s current status among even Democratic voters during a Thursday show segment.

“We keep on hearing about this jobs boom. All the jobs are coming from people that were born in another country and that’s what brings down wages. And I just saw [President Biden] not just replenish the Strategic Oil Reserve because the price of oil is too high to do it. It’s at $86 a barrel. He was going to do it at $70,” he said.
“And I think oil prices are even going to go higher, and the stock market had a rough day today. Imagine that the stock market corrects. You just basically guaranteed Trump’s re-election. We’ll see how that shakes out,” he continued.
“New pollsters to do what? To give polls to Joe that make him look like he is doing better? All of these polls are done by liberals. Even the Fox News poll has Joe Biden losing. He is at 38% approval in the battlegrounds. Donald Trump is at 51% approval,” he continued.
“Donald Trump is wildly popular. Wildly more popular than Joe Biden in the states that are going to make this election count. His coalition is absolutely collapsing. He is tied with Hispanics. He is tied with young voters. And he’s only winning 68% of blacks. That is an absolute catastrophe. Bring back Dick Morris, that’s what he has to do,” Watters added.
“They are saying he needs more energy. You have to give Democrats a reason to be excited. It’s not just all about the performance, like a Bernie or Trump, where you go to the rally, and it is kind of fun and exciting,” he said.
“Joe Biden has to make people on Election Day and the 21,000 weeks leading up to Election Day that we’re going to be voting and harvesting, they have to make Democrats excited, and a reason to walk over hot coals to vote for Joe Biden and it can’t just be about Trump’s going to be a dictator on Day 1 because no one is falling for that hoax,” he said.
