I was watching a news channel the other day when the resident pundit opined that polls show Joe Biden to be the most formidable Democrat against Donald Trump. “No! They do not. Stop saying that,” I shouted into the void.
There is a great deal of nuance in what these current polls really mean versus how they are breathlessly characterized in the 24-hour media environment. The main caveat for all 2020 polling is that the campaign really hasn’t started as far as the vast majority of voters are concerned. They simply are not paying enough attention right now to offer carefully considered opinions. CONT.
