Neither one polls better than Biden.
Not in Data for Progress' poll...
They used to be good, but after Biden won 2020 and they started working with the DNC, things went downhill quickly.

Did you catch that?
He also bragged in the past about being able to come up with polls that would be likely to result in increased donations to the candidate paying for the poll...
Which worked here too. Because I've seen articles bragging about how much Biden has raised recently
Even before that, they were "quick and dirty" polling.
But that's a whole big can of worms to get into.
The important part is that these candidates are polling similar to Biden against Trump already.
And Biden has the full weight of the DNC behind him (at least up till last week) and an active campaign.
Obviously anyone that became the candidate and started campaign would see a jump.in their numbers unless it was someone like Hillary
Which poll shows either Whitmer or AOC bearing Trump in the general?
What?
You're just ignoring everything I say and asking different questions, even though I've already talked about it:
Ignoring your unfounded claims? Yes, I will continue to do that, because you haven't offered any proof for
other than just claiming it. And now that I'm asking for that proof, you're pretending I'm changing the subject.
I'll ask again: show me actual data which suggests Whitmer or AOC outperforms Biden against Trump in the general.
Mate...
You quoted a poll, I asked if it was the one I'm thinking of (because you didn't link it) and now you're demanding I link you the poll you brought up?
But fine, here's a poll that shows Whitmere polling competitively to Biden

And I never claimed her or AOC are polling better than Biden...
Like, I think you need to take a deep breath, maybe go get a glass of water, and read thru this thread again.
I say one thing, you say I said something else, and then insist on me defending the position you made up.
I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because peoples emotions (rightfully) are elevated this election. But I'm pretty close to just blocking at this point because there's no way this ever becomes productive if you continue like this.
I didn't quote a poll, I said there were no polls supporting your conclusion. You assumed I was talking about a specific poll, and then attacked that poll.
Ipsos shows everyone but Harris and Michelle Obama well behind Biden.
