A former Clinton pollster said Wednesday President Biden is in a “dire situation” when it comes to the poll numbers ahead of the midterm elections.

“People question some of the competence. The generic horse race in our poll is Republicans by six points. This is a dire situation calling for the president to do a pivot,” Stagwell Inc. chairman and CEO Mark Penn told “America’s Newsroom.”

Penn told host Dana Perino it’s “clear” Biden has not made a pivot to address ongoing issues in the U.S.
