Correct. It may or may not be wise for Biden to withdraw. But for the record, hypothetical match-ups are not good evidence of how well different candidates will actually perform. Popularity can change a lot in either direction when someone becomes a candidate for president.

Not to mention, there's no way to know in advance how well a candidate will run. On paper, Hillary had a great campaign staff, but "I'm With Her" may be the worst campaign slogan in modern times. Who cares who is with Hillary? Voters wanted to know whether Hillary was with them: "She's With YOU."

Most who want Joe to stand down have no one to take his place. It could be a free-for-all convention. So easy to bitch about and criticize someone with no solution.
