    Blah blah blah it’s January for crying out loud. Most voters haven’t even actually started thinking about the race. Only the terminally online and talking heads are thinking about this.

    Of course Biden’s unpopular compared with a nebulous “what if” alternative. Shit, the real comparison people answering these polls are probably making is him against Obama. Obama was only fighting the Great Recession, not a global pandemic and a wannabe dictator with all his fans and an expansionist Russia with greedy stockholders driving CEOs to gouge consumers under cover of “inflation” and on and on.

    I’m not even saying Biden’s approval rating will get better between now and November. But if Trump is the Republican nominee, I think Biden has a pretty strong shot at winning anyway. As long as we all get out and vote.
