First, we need to agree that the country's voters are mostly polarized. Biden's approval rating is in the mid to high 30's, and so is Trump's, according to the admittedly flawed CNN poll. About 30% hold an unfavorable view of both candidates.

Let's, for the sake of argument, agree that these numbers are relatively accurate. I contend that it is reasonable to assume that anyone who holds an unfavorable view of both Biden and Trump, can easily be convinced that Trump is not only an "unfavorable" option, but a very dangerous one. George Stephanopoulos suggested that what Biden has to do to win this election is attack. He said this 7 times in a recent interview. I agree. This strategy worked well in 1964, as Johnson deployed it against Goldwater and in 1972, when Nixon used this strategy against McGovern. Neither of those challengers were even close to as scary as Trump.

If the Biden organization can't put together a campaign that makes American voters fear a Trump second term more than a Biden second term, they should be sued for political malpractice. I am a firm believer that it shouldn't be that hard to get that 30% to break three to four to one in Biden's favor, just as it did in 2020 and in the mid-terms in 2022. Outcome; Democratic sweep and Biden landslide.
