In reply to the discussion: Three New Polls Prove the Biden Bump is Real and Lasting -- and Republicans are Nervous [View all]FBaggins
(28,772 posts)23. Not at all. I may just be better at reading them
The 38-46 figures are dropping off the rolling average and being replaced with notably lower ones. That Morning Consult number (39) is now the only one above 35. (three 33s and two 35s).
Keeping in mind that his support for the two months prior to announcing averaged a very consistent 31% and his current rolling average of 34.7 represents well over half of his "bounce" fading in only two weeks. Making clear that statements that the RCP data "proves" a "lasting"/"not deteriorating" bump unsupportable.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

There is no poll in the entire world that can prove anyone's lead is a lasting one this far out.

"I may just be better at reading them" in a way which better suits your narrative.

I wonder if part of Biden's appeal is what we want to believe about ourselves.
