bad news for Biden, a poll that most people responding to here thought was BS. I thought so, too, but didn't bother to respond.

I'm not sure what type of response you expected, or what you would have considered a positive response to the poll. "OMG we're doomed!" would not IMO have been a positive response on a Democratic board, even if it would have signaled overwhelming belief in the poll results.

And BTW, what that poll showed mostly was that RWers will line up behind their possible candidates well in advance of the election, while Democrats will often think of alternatives, then will almost all vote for the Democratic candidate. Which is SOP.
