Unreliable poll, perhaps shouldn’t be trusted. See op-ed here https://lemmy.world/post/12773276

~~Wrong way to read it. Of the polled people, more want Trump than Biden~~

Possibly unreliable poll, see here https://lemmy.world/post/12773276

Who was polled? People that voted in the primaries. Why would democrats show up to a primary unless they wanted Biden to lose? This article is sensational bullshit.

Only 23 percent of Democratic primary voters said they were enthusiastic about Mr. Biden — half the share of Republicans who said they were about Mr. Trump. Significantly more Democrats said they were either dissatisfied or angry at Mr. Biden being the leader of the party (32 percent) than Republicans who said the same about Mr. Trump (18 percent)

Raise your hand if you or anyone you know was polled. There’s no way Trump is gaining voters. The only way he wins is if Democrats stay home and don’t vote.

The polls that are showing up all seem to have flaws like this.

It is way too early to know anything in this election anyhow. I've been following it closely and it is going to be a circus. Trump is showing mounting signs of dementia in his speeches as each one worst than the last. The stress of massive court judgment deadlines approaching seem to be breaking him as his best shot at getting 4 Billion vanishes before his eyes. Meanwhile Biden looks like your average retirement home resident. Don't get me wrong, I like what he's done, but both of them are just too damn old for this.

I don't understand how Trump can remain a candidate at this rate if he winds up broke (he owes NYS half a billion) and in jail (the New York election tampering case) by the summer. It's fucking insane and I love following it with existential dread and morbid curiosity.
