Ffs polls are just filler that 24/7 news channels use to babble about as breaking news, etcl. They’re as useful as a witchdoctor throwing bones.
They’re better than that; but what they basically tell us is that this election is going to be close.
But lately they haven’t been close to accurate. hence, tossing bones is about as useful and a lot more entertaining
Mr. Biden’s tick upward appears to stem largely from his improved standing among traditional Democratic voters — he is winning a greater share of voters who supported him in 2020 than he did a month ago. Then, Mr. Trump had secured the support of far more of his past voters compared with the president — 97 percent to 83 percent — but that margin has narrowed. Mr. Biden is now winning 89 percent of his 2020 supporters compared with 94 percent for Mr. Trump.
Awfully positive article to say Biden is struggling to retain voters from 2020…
It’s been worse than this for a while. A chunk of people who voted for Biden did so because Trump was singularly awful, and it really hasn’t sunk in to everybody that it’s Trump vs Biden again.
I think its sunk in the wrong way, seeing Biden v Trump should make people want literally anybody else. Many people I speak to currently tell me the same story, that regardless of how or why, it was much easier to be positive pre-Biden/under Trump. Many people I know with student loans are asking me how Genocide Joe can supply Israel’s genocide with no authorization but his hands are tied on student loans. I know people still upset the Biden copied Trump’s 2k stimulus check plan, only to revise it to 1400 after winning. To be honest if Trump supported the student loan forgiveness I think he could very easily beat Biden. Biden severely overestimates the “Fuck Trump” vote, especially since many of my lesser informed and younger friends see him as the guy who tried to ban TikTok to help hide that he keeps killing brown people.
The other people on the ballot are basically there to get Trump elected. Their staff literally tell us that.
Some other hypothetical candidate might well be a better President, but they’re not running. So the choice we have is Biden, Trump, or a third party spoiler designed to divert Biden voters and get Trump elected.
