I do look forward to 4-years from now when we might actually have fresh faces and perhaps less polarizing candidates.
How is Biden polarizing? What specifically has he done besides be a fairly middle-of-the-road Democrat who wants to reach across the aisle?
My gawd. Clueless.

I don’t think our political commentary focuses enough on just how unpopular the GOP is now, how degraded their brand is. The majority of Americans don’t want what they are selling and Biden’s agenda has been very good for America.
You can snark all you want but people are feeling the optimism with economy and in the next year the Infrastructure projects will bring more and higher paying jobs (if GOP don’t cut off their noses to spite their faces and kill those projects because you know, windmills cause cancer…).
It’s strange how the GOP just can’t let crazy go. If they came back to reality they might have a chance to win back Presidency and keep the House. But they’re all in on things most Americas DGAF about or worse, are appalled by.
Polling doesn't bear this out. What polling does show is a very evenly divided country with minor leads either direction. Your comment only illustrates how much D partisans hate R and vice versa that they can't see outside their narrow bubbles.
DP: In the end, though, the critical issue is not who responds to polls / who gets polled in the first place / how the polling questions are worded — but who actually votes. Those cohorts are rarely if ever the same.
Look at the midterms. Those are actual election results. Those did not look very good for the GOP.
This is the correct way of looking at it. Polling said we've have a Red Wave. The indicators of a strong Dem turnout were there but corporate media was focused on polling. Those indicators: high small-dollar donations, high turnout in special elections with Dem flips, and of course anger over Roe.
You need to stop looking at polls and deal with the reality that Americans are not divided 50-50. We are much closer to 55 D - 45 and for younger people, they skew heavily toward Dem policies, even if they register unaffiliated. And they are coming into the electorate at a very fast rate while boomers die. And before you scream "Young people don't vote" that is also false. If registered. young people vote at the same levels as their older counterparts. It's the fact that so few are registered that's the problem. The GOP knows this. That is why they make it harder for them to register to vote. Sometimes they can't register until 2 months before their 18 birthday. Who the F remembers that?
Face it, the GOP is a zombie party. The question is how long until they realize it.
LOL. More people voted Republican in the midterms in 2022 than Democrats. The Democrats performed much better than expected but a lot of it came down to how the votes fell in safe seats and marginal seats. Republicans continue to lead in the voter preference for the House.
By the way, latest polls: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/2024/
Most recent one has Trump and Biden tied at 50% each.

Well, I certainly hope it'll be "autopilot" - he won't be capable of anything more by that time.
He is capable of denying trump a win which is the most important mission facing this country.
And then what? A Harris presidency? No thank you.
