Honestly?
Biden had a huge bump. Last I had heard was 34%, but when looking for these polls I saw he was at 41%?
7% is already huge a net gain, but percentage wise it's like a 20% gain.
You know what?
Good on RFK Jr. 50 years ago just the thought of him being able to escape the political shadow of the previous generation of Kennedys would have been laughable.
But when I saw this headline I legitimately forgot about his dad and uncle both being assassinated. My brain went straight to the brain worms.
It's honestly kind of crazy he's not just a Jeb! type guy whose only notable feature is his last name.
He's going for gasps...
Shit, it's more like "why not last term" at this point.
He had two years with a Dem house and Senate, and "looked into" if he was able to fulfill the last round of campaign promises, many of which are on this same list
Like, he hasn't even looked into this past someone telling him it would help his numbers.
Good thing the party learn d their lesson and stopped running uncharismatic elderly moderates with terrible approval ratings...
Right?
I have only seen polls saying the exact opposite
An incumbent with what? A 34% approval rating?
Biden isn't a normal incumbent he's literally a historically unpopular incumbent...
And for months now polls have been showing a smaller gap between almost anyone else and trump.
Like, do you not understand this is Biden with the campaign and DNC behind him versus people who can't even say they're thinking about running yet?
You don't think that would give them even a 5% boost?
Hillary with Joe as VP, then in 2028 they'll say it has to be Hillary again because for some reason no one under 70 has enough experience...
I just like reminding myself that it can always be worse.
In a ruling Monday, Cannon said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution.
“In the end, it seems the Executive’s growing comfort in appointing ‘regulatory’ special counsels in the more recent era has followed an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny,” Cannon wrote.
So she wants a judge to say an investigator can be appointed to gather information to take to a judge?
This is obviously just some Sneeches bullshit. You could just as well argue before it can be brought to a judge, an investigation needs to be done to gather evidence.
So I guess more like chicken and egg.
this is an underappreciated truth, but they quite clearly control the party
Moderate Dems don't represent the Dem party either. But they control it.
Both parties are controlled by the most rightwing factions, even tho most of the voters don't like it.
So we end up with most people voting against someone and not for anyone.
That's how we end up with 2/3s if the country not being happy if either of the two main parties win.
The pro-trump crazies aren't the majority of the Republican party anymore.
One of them literally just shot him a couple days ago in case you haven't heard...
Moderates made a bet for their team to win. But not cover the spread.
If they do too well. It translates to down ballot wins and they'd have the political power to do what voters want. Which is often the opposite of what their donors want.
And they'd rather let Republicans win than piss off their shared donors.
The only way the people running the DNC lose power. Is if a progressive wins and appoints new people to the DNC.
It all makes perfect sense when you think like a power hungry capitalist who would do fine under a Republican president. The only true threat to them is "the left" because that's what Dem voters want

Yougov's website.
The polls in OPs post are from yougov but I didn't see anything about battlegrounds, saw a rare good thing for Biden, and felt the need to mention.
trump almost getting merc'd might have helped trump, but it seems to have helped Biden even more.
Which sounds like it's just reinforcing people's beliefs, and since we are talking about political violence that's not always a good thing
Rhetorical device, I could have said "Bruh...". "Actually". "Meh". Or a bunch of other shit
I was just surprised to see it, and honestly seemed to fit best with surprise
