Even taking the current polling average as gospel Biden right now, today, is less than a standard polling error away from a repeat of the margin from 2020
It's amazing how confidently the media asserted that Biden's post debate polling was disastrous (including Stephanopoulos having an extended on air argument with Biden about it during yesterday's interview!) with basically zero evidence
Going into the debate Trump was +0.1 after Biden overtook him for a couple of days, it is now eight days later an no morning consult in the average at 2.5, so, a little over a two point bump. That's what we're looking at
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude thank the Lord that he was completely off his goddamn rocker in 2020 and couldn't put together even an hour of the sort of 'restrained' performance he gave against Biden
I'm not a campaign expert, but if I got my political opponent saying straight to the camera on live national TV something like that I would be pretty happy with how things went.
