For these voters, Biden is like an ‘uncool uncle’ that still might be ‘good enough’

For the small share of voters who might still be up for grabs in 2020, Joe Biden may seem “old,” “inconsistent” and like a “slightly uncool uncle.” But for those who have also been repelled by the personal behavior of the White House incumbent, Biden has one other key trait: He’s “good enough.”

That’s a top takeaway from two focus groups of persuadable voters conducted by veteran pollsters Peter Hart and Nicole McCleskey. The pair of sessions — made up of eight men and ten women , respectively — were conducted Wednesday night, after the first presidential debate but before President Donald Trump tested positive for Covid-19 and was transferred to Walter Reed Medical Center.
