In six swing states that Biden narrowly won in 2020, a little more than half of voters classified as likely to decide the presidential election say threats to democracy are extremely important to their vote for president, according to a poll.
Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voterswapo.st A poll of swing-state voters shows that Americans rate threats to democracy as an important issue, but that the president has yet to convince them he is the one to defend it.

How is Biden not winning this on the grounds of not himself being an existential threat to democracy

I will never understand where they got that definition. That's not in any dictionary or civics textbook I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, there’s a difference between going to school and reading a textbook.
