      Well in our electoral system, that literally couldn’t matter less, so maybe focus on that issue another time?

        Who was polled? People that voted in the primaries. Why would democrats show up to a primary unless they wanted Biden to lose? This article is sensational bullshit.

        Only 23 percent of Democratic primary voters said they were enthusiastic about Mr. Biden — half the share of Republicans who said they were about Mr. Trump. Significantly more Democrats said they were either dissatisfied or angry at Mr. Biden being the leader of the party (32 percent) than Republicans who said the same about Mr. Trump (18 percent)

        Raise your hand if you or anyone you know was polled. There’s no way Trump is gaining voters. The only way he wins is if Democrats stay home and don’t vote.

    Not buying it and certainly not clicking on it. I’ve never heard of Siena and the Times is so conservative they only make right turns on the drive home from work. Trump hasn’t won a popular vote yet.

    This should make all of the people who insist that anyone criticising Biden is supporting Trump think again. How is he going to win if we just pretend he’s awesome while nobody actually believes it?

    “Trump would be worse” is not the compelling political platform you seem to think it is.

      I mean, we’ve been trying to do that with the economy for at least two years.

    Remember- most people don’t even start really paying attention to the election until the end of the summer.

    I am pro-immigration, but I can’t deny that most immigrants coming to the U.S. are from conservative backgrounds and so it’s no wonder that results like the one in this poll happen.

    Edit possibly unreliable poll, see op ed here: https://lemmy.world/post/12773276

        You’re right, I am making assumptions about voter ages and religious backgrounds of immigrants. Younger generations are typically more left leaning, but not of voting age quite yet
