In reply to the discussion: Here's why Trump is ahead of Joe Biden in the polls. [View all]Chainfire
(17,716 posts)84. Lets face it, in some ways Biden is like Trump; he only inspires his true believers
and the Party faithfuls. Good works and a highly successful presidency is not good enough for the American people. Young people certainly aren't impressed with his age; he just isn't cool enough. The question will boil down to who has the most true believers. It is going to be close, and while polls can be wrong, theyare not meaningless regardless of what we want to believe. We have an uphill struggle on our hands in a battle we can not afford to lose.
