And he's getting triple that. Unfortunately, I suspect the democrats will nearly start a race war to counter it. Sure hope not.TH Spangler wrote: ↑April 26th, 2024, 7:05 amAnd Reagan was a much better choice than Trump.

HOWEVER, IF (note the big if) Biden is only leading up there by 10 points, then a whole lot of states are going to flip red in November. I don't think it'll be a big landslide, but if the election were held today, I do think Trump flips Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan to win the presidency.The last 2 elections were decided by very small margins in a few States. I suspect we will see that again

Democrats could end up kicking themselves for not forcing Biden's hand a bit more so a younger, stronger candidate could be the nominee. Or it's April and none of the polling really matters at this stage.I'm just hoping to be able to vote for someone who is actually worthy of representing VA's 5th district in 2026.
Trump isn't a strong candidate either but recency bias is hurting Biden.
Personally I can't wait until 2028 and a Biden/Trump free election cycle.

I still believe that he’s unfortunately better then the other candidate so again….here we are
