I agree that Trump isn’t fit to be dogcatcher. The problem is this election is in the eyes of many as much about Biden as it is about Trump. Many, 56% of all Americans, 61% of independents think Biden has done a very poor job as president. That’s their disapproval of the job he’s done in their eyes.

They think Biden is too old to be an effective president for another term, that he’s losing it mentally. 73% of all Americans believe this while 42% say the same about Trump.

Then there’s the fact many Americans feel they were personally better off under Trump than today, under Biden. It isn’t that they want Trump back in the white house, they don’t. But they don’t want Biden reelected either. Roughly 30% of all Americans feel this way which includes 37% of independents.

Biden’s president today, not Trump. That is probably the biggest factor here. In 2020 most had nothing to compare Biden to, he wasn’t Trump, that would do nicely. Today, with this rematch, they’re comparing presidencies. Comparing their own situation under both. Hence Biden has fallen down to Trump levels, 57% of all Americans including 61% of independents have a negative view of Biden, unfavorable. Trump 56% of all Americans view him negatively, unfavorably including the same percentage, 61% of independents.

Personally, why these numbers. I think, believe Biden was the wrong candidate for the democrats to run against Trump. That almost any other democrat would be trouncing Trump. 2020 was all about Trump and his 4 years as president. He lost big. 2024 is about Biden and his 4 years as president as it is about Trump. This year it’s about both, not only Trump. That I think is very hard for the democrats to understand. If not impossible. For them, it’s all about Trump, for the rest of America, it’s about both.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
