DCUM at its most senile. |
Then the professional protester class sounds like it’s against the students and supports the Israeli government. |

Wishful thinking. Killing off interest in growing demographics is a pretty stupid strategy. Especially when the people who support the status quo of mindless support of Israel are themselves a dying demographic. |
I'm a Democratic pollster. Been analyzing polls for the DNC for 7 years now. TBH, we're all worried. Very worried. We know that our polls underreport Trump voters and independents who lean R. Biden's low approval numbers aren't budging and we have no f'ing clue why not. For a while, we thought it was a messaging problem but his numbers just aren't moving as we approach the general. |
Can you explain more? Is this still true for 2024? |
Sure. YouGov's 2020 poll of likely and registered voters for the Economist between Oct 31 and Nov 2 had Biden up 9-10 points. In 2020, the vote difference was 4.5% This is after well-known problems in 2016! We're not picking up a noticeable percent of people who could sway the election. Add in the wildcard of RFK Jr. and this ~4.5 (or higher) could make things worse. |
Again, for those willfully ignoring reality (this includes Genocide Joe himself ). Gaza has put off enough D’s ans I’s (especially in need to win swing states) to shift it all.
All Biden had to do is grow some balls and actually check Bibi and stop gifting arms and BILLIONS of dollars but that ship has passed 4 months ago. The fact of the matter is a lot of liberals have come to realize no one is coming to save us. The facade of the D’s being “the good guys” has crumbled with all of the civilian deaths the last 6 months. People are seriously adrift and hopeless. No one belives Biden will do anything but take AIPAC money and give lip service to actual D taxpayers. The groundswell of enthusiasm in 2020 to prevent a Trump second term has evaporated. There will be no record poll attendance. |
Yeah no. Special elections have had large turn out even since Oct 7 Gaza ranks 13 on voters lists of priorities. |
You're right, but it could sway a small percentage. Crime will sway another small percentage. Inflation a larger percentage. Something else will hit the fan and that will sway some people too. It can add up. |
Add in the fact that this election will be decided in 5-7 swing states where a few thousand votes make all the difference and it's a definite problem. Biden has never been a generally popular politician - think of all his presidential runs that died in Iowa. He's president today because he was Obama's VP and he presented himself as a caretaker while the country moved on from the chaos of the Trump years. But he has no natural base. He's very old and would be 86 if reelected, which no one thinks is a good idea for a president. The shine of Obama has worn off and black folks are increasingly lukewarm to Biden. Young people are always unreliable and will likely not bother voting for a candidate that generates no enthusiasm. And progressives have boarded the crazy train and will likely turn the DNC convention into a sh#tshow over Israel. Throw in the Kennedy vote - he's drawing 9 percent presently in Michigan - and things are not looking great for Biden. His only upside is Trump. Biden can only win if the election is all about Trump. But if Republicans had nominated Haley or anyone sane under the age of 60, it would be a Reagan era landslide. |

To the pollster: what impact is the chaos on college campuses to Biden? |
Hard to tell. It could peter away. If it spreads, it could feed into Biden's law and order vulnerability. |
This statement stands out to me the most. Can you seriously not understand why Biden has the lowest approval ratings in history? You need to meet people outside your bubble. |
