Biden actually gained a point since last month’s survey, which was taken before the debate. In this poll, he leads Trump 50% to 48% in a head-to-head matchup. But Biden slips when third-party options are introduced, with Trump holding the slightest advantage with 43% to 42%.
Those numbers, though, do not represent statistically significant differences, as the margin of error in the survey is +/- 3.1 percentage points, meaning results could be 3 points higher or lower.
The poll also found that, at this point, no other mainstream Democrat who has been mentioned as a replacement for the president on the ticket does better than Biden.
The results reflect the hyperpolarized political environment in the country and the reality that both of the major parties’ presumptive nominees bring with them significant disadvantages. Majorities of those surveyed continue to say they have a negative opinion of both men, and neither, they say, should be on the ballot at all.

At this point it legitimately doesn’t matter why Biden is so unpopular, or even why he’s unable to change that even with billions of dollars.
What matters is winning the election
I agree. Which is why I didn’t mention Biden. I don’t care who the Democratic nominee is at this point. I am voting for them. And the people saying they can’t vote for Biden because he old need to reconcile that if they’re not voting for the Democratic nominee then they get Trump and Project 2025 bringing fascism full force. Kamala is t Biden, she has a pulse, she’s presumptively on the Democratic ticket. They can vote for her instead of for Biden. They can tell themselves they’re voting for the platform and not for Biden. Just as long as they vote for the Democratic ticket.
Then what the fuck were you even trying to say:
