Even me, an unabashed Biden supporter is gobsmacked at his poll numbers..

I have spent the last few days taking in the poll numbers and the support that VP Biden has been getting and I am in awe..


I thought for sure his first day would be his biggest numbers, then do the drop and start the long climb back up.. I was worried about the money.. I am not going to lie!


But it is heartening to see all the support for him in RL and online...


and no amount of mud slinging and trying to bring him down has brought his numbers down.. people are just ready for VP Joe I think..


I know these numbers cannot keep going like this.. that they will back off .. and people will jockey back and forth..but the thing about Joe Biden.. is he is bringing that wonderful feeling of hope back into peoples conversations..


Yep.. I have been gobsmacked..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Tulsi Gabbard getting twice as many votes as Joe Biden should have been the first gigantic clue as to that.

And I fully realize that comfort is simply much more important than valid sampling in many cases.

Of course I’ll vote for him in the GE - of course.

And I will be thrilled if he beats Trump.

I’m sti waiting to see if he brings anything new to the table.
