It's quite simple...any democrat would be ten times better than the buffoon in the WH now. As long as they have a pulse they've got my vote. If Biden drops dead on day 2 of his administration I'll gladly take whoever he picks for VP over trump. Carry on.

You have to realize how partisan and illogical that is...
There were plenty of people I would have preferred over Obama as a President, but to suggest that ANY Republican would have been TEN times better would have been silly. Especially when you consider how the results of Trump's policies and actions brought to light the level of incompetence Obama had in many aspects of being president. Obama was a horrible president, but to suggest that say, Steve King or Jon Huntsman would have been 10 times better than Obama is juvenile.
You seem to be looking at the presidential race as to what would be best for your political party as compared to what would be best for the country.

I don't know if he was a horrible president or not, but he was certainly overly timid and in way over his inexperienced head when it came to foreign policy. Much more significantly, the evidence is mounting by the week that he will be remembered as the first and only president in American history who tried to subvert the peaceful transition of power to his successor by weaponizing the Justice Department to leverage unfounded rumors and conspiracy theories against Donald Trump. |

Turns out the BLM protests and riots are increasing support for Donald Trump (duh?), which is probably why CHAZ was finally shut down and the MSM has stopped airing the riots and violence happening nearly every day on prime-time television. Portland has had something like 45 straight days of violent protest; not talked about much, though.

If that holds up in November, Trump wins in a landslide. And why shouldn't it? |

Please take a step back. Another reason a moron like Biden might win is because a moron like Trump is doing his best to blow it. |

There seems to be this media polling narrative about how Biden is winning (ala 2016 Hillary) but I keep going to "real" numbers and it tells me a different story....., facts are "enthusiasm" is showing repeatedly that Biden has little, that the black vote is lacking, I suspect the latino may be similar and here we have Republican recent registration exceeding Democrat.

I have never found approval ratings to be worth much when it comes to re-election. For example, I disapprove of Trumps handling of Covid (I believe he let the Dems push him into a corner early on), yet he has my vote against Biden.

It's just one of many factors that go into making a hypothetical conclusion when talking voting, voters or actual likely voters. What I take from any one poll or stat is the "trend" and if the numbers fly in the face of what the media is touting in which this approval rating does. It does not support the narrative Biden winning by double digits, that Trump has lost all support in which we here at least 100 times a day from various news outlets across the country. |

For example, I disapprove of Trumps handling of Covid (I believe he let the Dems push him into a corner early on), yet he has my vote against Biden. The one I've always discounted is the "direction of the country" poll. People use it to show that the party in power is heading us in the wrong direction. I see it differently. For example, when I say that I think this country is headed in the wrong direction, I'm not thinking of Trump's policies. I'm thinking of rioters, socialist zombies straight out of college, and lying reporters presenting their biased opinions as fact, and showing disrespect to the office of the president, and stifling free speech by those who disagree with them. |
