If your account is accurate, then:
1) Biden was confused, or
2) Biden was confusing in presenting his "Bidenomics."
Either way, it is NOT good for his campaign.
I do not see paying off a pornstar as a real evil. I do not find Trump's character stellar; I detest many aspects of his personality. It is his POLICIES that I think are much more important. In comparison, Biden has mismanaged the Economy, a HUGE issue, and NOT only for me; please read BELOW.
Biden is hypocritical on abortion; I think he and his family are very CORRUPT and took money from many foreign entities. Those issues are, for me, more important than a POSSIBLE (and to me, LIKELY) fling with a woman: pornstar and/or Playboy model. That Trump paid one or both off to stay silent, so WHAT? No importa. Many men in a position of power and influence have done so. SO WHAT?
A very recent poll about the Economy, Inflation, and other Key campaign issues:
Washington, DC, May 5, 2024—New ABC News/Ipsos polling finds that President Biden’s approval rating hovers in the mid-to-high 30’s, statistically unchanged from January. The economy and inflation remain the most important issues for Americans when determining who they may support for president in November. More Americans trust Trump over Biden on these issues and feel they were better off financially under Trump than Biden. However, Americans’ views on both of the candidates remain dim, with many feeling both candidates are too old and not trustworthy. Overall, the 2024 election remains a toss-up. (...)
Nearly half of Americans say the economy (44%) and inflation (45%) are one of the single most important issues for them. More Americans trust Trump to handle the economy and inflation over Biden.
and more:
2. Overall, the economy and inflation are the most important issues for Americans in determining who they will support for president in November. More Americans trust Trump on these issues than Biden. (...)
The economy (88%) and inflation (85%) are the issues that Americans say will be most important for them in determining which candidate they will support in November. Nearly half of Americans say the economy (44%) and inflation (45%) are one of the single most important issues for them.
More Americans trust Trump to handle the economy and inflation over Biden. Forty-six percent trust Trump and 32% trust Biden on the economy; meanwhile, 44% trust Trump and 30% trust Biden on inflation. (...)
These issues rank as more important in determining who people will vote for than immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border (69%), gun violence (66%), America’s standing in the world (63%), access to abortion (57%), and the war between Israel and Hamas (48%).

I did not see moral character in that list of ten key issues. I think it SHOULD be, but this is the view of those polled and reflects the views of MOST Americans. The inflation for food prices and the price of gasoline will have a HUGE impact on the election.
And what is viewed by many Democrats as their "saving issue" abortion was important for only 57% and was ranked #9 of the top ten.
I am sure that saxi can give a better summary of polls versus what I provided here.
