If the election was today, Biden would lose. Imagine if Trump wasn’t the nominee for November, the GOP would win the presidency.

Edit: it’s just reality according to the current polling.

according to the current polling

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the polls are likely skewed towards the GOP, and it’s thought that this is because of random text/calls, which boomers are more likely to respond to.

You’re correct. They did it back then. They absolutely are still doing it now.

Is a non-genocidal candidate capable of beating the criminal traitor Trump too much to ask for?

If he would lose the election today, YES, Biden is bad. Where’s the disconnect?

There it is again.

The disconnect that exists is that people don’t see the good things he does. You know, green energy, chips act, unions, drug price controls, student debt relief, telling them to look at marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure building. It just goes on and on. You’re doing mental gymnastics to say B-B-Biden bad! Ciao.

If you think polling relates to reality then look into polling and how it doesn’t.

“Polls have “called” elections correctly 78 percent of the time” according to that article. Just because they are more accurate than in another time frame does not mean they are accurate overall. This is an incredibly poor rate in the larger picture. Independent groups are notoriously hard to poll and they are the ones that decide elections. If it’s a landslide then of course the poll will be correct. Completely unreliable in close elections. However they make excellent time filters for news networks.

You really think Biden would win the election if it was held today? Have you not been paying attention at the work he still needs to do to win?

You’re not allowed to suggest Biden might lose. That’s the same as voting for Trump.
