    I'll be honest, I think Biden will still win.

    The election is a year away, people have sort memories, and as elections grow closer more and more people will get "lesser of two evilism" brain. Honestly I suspect a lot of people who insist they won't vote or protest vote actually do sneak a ballot in for the Dems, cuz in truth they are scared of another Trump term but wanna keep their lefty cred. Heck, I'll admit, I did it last election, granted I lived in a state with mail in ballots which made it fuck all easy to do, also it was a solid blue state so idk why I bothered. I think I was thinking "well this will get the Libs off my back for not Vooootin".

    Probably won't again, but again is doesn't matter cuz I still don't live in a swing state.

      This assumes that the catastrophes will just stop for the next year. But with the amerikkkan empire in terminal decline and the bourgeoisie at the helm, the disasters will just keep coming.

        The news does a good job of ignoring international tragedies when an election is rolling up. And the fear of a second cheeto presidency will spook most left of center people to the polls. The Muslim population won't vote for him but I don't think they're a big enough bloc to swing anything as long a black people and college educated women still vote blue.

      I'm not sure he'll win, but i don't see it as any less likely because of this poll.

      I think Biden won 2020 largely due to Covid. 1)because Covid was a crisis that dominated the end of the election cycle that would make any admin look bad, and 2) Covid allowed Biden to hide and not campaign, and kept Trump from doing the same.

      On the otherside, Biden's only selling point was that he's not Trump, and despite what we here all know brump , he's still not Trump to libs. It's kind of a toss up at this point

      I think approval ratings for presidents are going to stay low like this, because people are feeling the decline. Presidential approval is more of a barometer for how people feel like things generally are. We're not going to see Eisenhower numbers again, because no most people aren't ever going to feel that good about the country for obvious reasons.
