A slew of new polls had nothing but bad news for President Joe Biden this weekend, but the worst development may have come from Saturday Night Live. The longest-running sketch comedy show opened with CNN’s Dana Bash asking a string of Biden sympathizers about his age, and they all parroted the now-familiar line, in a way clearly meant as absurd, that “behind closed doors, Joe is incredible,” or “a whirlwind,” or “a dynamo,” or “strong.”

No matter how much Democrats may wish it were not so, Biden’s obvious mental decline has become a punchline. And the polls from this weekend only show voters agree with the reality SNL is lampooning.
