    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod said a recent Wall Street Journal poll showing President Biden’s approval rating hitting a new low is “very, very dark” for Biden’s reelection campaign.

    “You know, job approval down, ratings generally down, most of the comparatives with [former President] Trump … not good,” Axelrod said on the podcast “Hacks on Tap,” which he co-hosts with former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and political media consultant Mike Murphy.

    In Denver on Nov. 29, the president spoke about investments from his Inflation Reduction Act with such signage at the stage.

    Axelrod also made an apparent reference to a recent CNN poll showing Trump with a 10-point lead over Biden in the battleground state of Michigan, to which Gibbs argued the Biden campaign needs to start “playing campaign in a far more concerted way.”

    His comments follow remarks he made last month in which he appeared to suggest Biden should drop out of the 2024 presidential race in the wake of a poll showing the incumbent trailing Trump.

    Following scrutiny for his comments, Axelrod clarified he is not concerned about poor polling numbers a year away from the 2024 election.
