Biden is unpopular because Americans are unhappy with economic/political conditions and they blame the sitting president for it, not because he's old, and any other Democrat would be saddled with the same issues

Yes, which makes the “let’s swap in X as the new candidate in July!” takes sound all the more unhinged from reality.

It's one thing to say the age concerns are overstated, but I think it's unrealistic to say they have no effect on Biden's approval/electoral chances/etc.

Not a Democrat who was better on the economy. So a fantasy democrat, but if there was a President putting some checks on the looting, we wouldn't be getting looted so fast

People are unhappy with economic/political conditions partly because they are often ignorant or misinformed about them, for which abysmal Dem comms philosophy and ability bear some blame

And the entertainment industry faking it as journalists are horrible to Dems. It’s an uphill battle, almost impossible, without a “character” as the nominee.

Yes. The disturbing thought isn't that they are unhappy but that they don't understand why the economy had problems and are blaming the guy holding the bag of shit instead of the guy who helped create the bag of shit.

You know people have been paying attention to policy in this election because you get wildly different results for candidates who are nearly identical in their views. Yet somehow M. Obama, who will never run for anything, somehow polls better than popular, experienced governors.

Biden is unpopular bc most voters think he can't handle the job.
"... only 27% of Americans believe Joe Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve as president. This poses an almost-insurmountable obstacle to his election, even with Trump’s manifest unfitness."

Biden was never popular. I believe people voted for him because he knew how to run the government and fix what Trump broke quickly. We still have competent government he put in place, otherwise he wouldn’t have accomplished so much.

The benefit we might get from “any other Democrat” is a coherent argument to voters.

That's why I can only imagine how fucking awful things would be if trump was handling the inflation he caused with another tax cut and tarriffs on every single item.
