MODERATORS
No one is leading or trailing, because no one has voted.
Polls are not even a little bit predictive this far out.
Polls contain no actionable data for voters unless they are looking days before the election and want to strategically vote in a race with more than 2 candidates.
This far out (end of 2015), Republicans thought Hillary was a shoe-in.
No incumbent thats polling as low as Biden is right now, at this time in their presidency, has ever won reeelection
Your response to a comment about polls being meaningless is to use "bUt mUh PoLlS!!!!" logic to make an inference
Let that sink in for a second.
Op made a point that polls have no predictive value at this point. The responder posited that no president polling this low at this point has ever won. Why is the response not valid or not adding to the conversation?
What's crazy is since only weak candidates get primaries, people act like a primary hurts incumbents.
This could all be fixed by Biden stepping aside, but he'd rather risk the whole country than do that
The DNC would rather risk the whole country than do that.
If the DNC told him "You're too old, you can't win, step aside", he likely would.
If he was able to stand on his record a primary wouldn't hurt them because people could see the results. Refusing a primary on an unpopular candidate is simple arrogance and ego. Biden needs to go
Remember GW Bush? All it takes is one event to flip public sentiment. This poll is garbage for anyone who isn't a political scientist or a campaign strategist.
Red fascists try not to jerk off to the thought of ordinary fascists taking power challenge (NEVER BEEN DONE)
