US President Joe Biden claims that his polling numbers in Israel are better than they are in the US.

“Look at the numbers in Israel. My numbers are better in Israel than they are here. Then again, they’re better than a lot of other people here too,” Biden says during a press conference.

A poll published last week on Channel 12 found that 48 percent of Israelis prefer Donald Trump to be the next US president compared to 27% who prefer Biden.

A Washington Post poll of registered American voters published earlier today found Biden and Trump polling at 46%.
