Biden's Third-Year Approval Rating the Worst Since... No, Guess

If that 18% really doesn’t vote, then Trump’s 40% becomes, at the polls, close to 50%.

But that’s a big if. Consider that Biden’s poll numbers are particularly depressed right now because the left wants him to support Hamas’ From the River to The Sea Jewish extermination policy.

Will they vote for Trump — who imposed the so-called Muslim Travel Ban — because of anger at Biden about his “support” for Israel?

Doubtful. A lot of this “I won’t vote for Biden” stuff is just bluffing. Partisans say that early in general election season, but tend to “come home” by the fall.

Also, you can bet huge money that Reid Hoffman and George Soros and the Koch network will fund a “credible” Republican challenger to run as an independent for the express purpose of taking votes from Trump and allowing Biden to win states with 34-38% of the votes.

[Interesting idea, but I think that money will line up behind Biden. I also agree with Ace that Biden’s horrid popularity numbers are mainly due to progressives who are angry with Biden over the Middle East, but who will return in big numbers to vote against Trump. They see Kamala Harris as their ace in the hole, too. — Ed]
