This poll is irrelevant. Great for generating sensational articles, sure, but this question doesn't matter. There's only one poll question that means anything at this point:
If the 2024 US presidential election were held today, would you cast your vote for Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
Beating trump is more important than Joe Biden being president.
Especially when most of his time in office he wouldn't stop talking about how powerless he is as president and how if anyone thought he could accomplish anything it just meant they're ignorant.
So like, what's the benefit of insisting it's Biden when he's not who voters want?
It just seems like a terrible risk for zero gain.
If what matters is the House and Senate, then we need a charismatic presidential candidate who helps Dems down ballot.
Democracy ~~in action~~ inaction.
DNC komissars are still working this thing

He needs to step down. He did much better work as president than many of his critics give him credit for, and his initial decision to run again, while in hindsight fucking ruinous, was operating off of conventional political wisdom. What he needs to do now is recognize that he's lost the confidence of the party and the electorate, and step down, regardless of what he thinks about the sharpness of his faculties.
The fact that Trump has seriously turned down the noise against Biden since the calls for him to step down should let you know who he wants to face in the polls.
Can't wait to hear why this poll doesn't matter but the one that said everyone else does the same or worse does matter. Don't let me down lemmy centrists.
Gee, let's see, a fascist who has guaranteed us dictatorial retribution, or Biden who has done a decent job despite an uncooperative congress and judiciary. Decisions, decisions. SMH.
I can tell you who of those two that I think will win the swing states in November, but you'd probably interpret this as political opppsition rather than resignation to the fate that the parties have already chosen for us.
