Isn't it interesting that the most vetted candidate in this race, Biden, still does best vs Trump?

Maybe we should start listening to the American people?

That's a good point. That's also why Trump doesn't want to run against him. Arkansas Granny Feb 2020 #1

... polling and to focus on other stupid crap.

Biden starts to tank in swing state polling then we have to make decision but right now he's whoopin Red Don's ass the best.

As the old saying goes.

Everybody likes Joe. He has connected over the years with his personal loss in public view. He’s in their hearts. That counts.

I see two factors:

One is the order of the primaries. If, say, South Carolina had gone first, he probably would have won and people's impressions would be different right now.

The other is Bloomberg. Biden's drop in the polls matches Bloomberg's rise pretty closely, so I assume they're related. And whether your concern is winning or governance, I think Biden is the much better candidate of the two.

It's still early.
