    I think it's the Rasmussen that had articles like It Looks Like the Republican Wave Is Coming In back in 2022

    Yay, 1 terrible option is ahead of another terrible option in a race that may give us just two terrible options.

    Yay.

    To be fair most polls have Trump higher than Biden. I assume either people are wishfully hoping Biden doesn’t run so they can vote for a different anti-Trump candidate or people are demented morons and really prefer a very old maniacal moron over just an old guy.

    i would agree that a Trump is ahead by a small margin in most of the polls with a few having him doing even better. That being said polls at this time in the cycle are relatively meaningless as my examples from December 2021 predicting or indicating an Obama defeat demonstrate. Going back to 1988 the consensus as late as the spring or summer of 1988 had Michael Dukakis leading George H.W. Bush by double digits. This is from July 26, 1988;
    Dukakis Lead Widens, According to New Poll (Published 1988)
    The economy has been a proverbial albatross around Biden's neck. As indicated in the thread on inflation that may be much less of a negative factor in the coming year.

    One problem that could confront the Biden is shaky support among lefties which could affect turnout. If they run a competent campaign and that's still a big "if" the Democrats should emphasize that the alternative would be far worse. For example, they're apparently pissed off that Biden may be taking a harder line with respect to immigration and the border. Although they may not approve of Biden's positions the alternative is a guy would already said that he would set up detention camps for undocumented migrants, institute mass arrests and would impose mass deportations with little or no due process. While the lefties are apparently also pissed off over Biden's position on Israel the alternative is a challenger who has already demonstrated that he will kowtow to the hard right single state position of Bibi Netanyahu in contrast to Biden's support of a 2-state solution.

    I should have saved the endless repudiation of Rasmussen polling I've posted here several times so I could cut and paste.

    Shorter version: It's GOP tilted polling that exists to change averages when aggregated with legitimate polls.

    Agree. I don’t understand anyone indifferent to the Trump/Biden choice.

    You can choose a 3rd sandwich but that's not what you will be served.

    Right here
    No one gets to choose what sandwich they are served. All we can control is what we order.

    2024 is a very different animal. You really need to think about what you’re ACTUALLY ordering.

    But there are only 2 sandwiches. You're going to get one or the other. So you should order the one you find less offensive.
