The survey found that just one in four voters (24%) think the country is moving in the right direction – a key question in the run-up to a national election – and more than twice as many voters said that Biden’s policies had personally hurt them than those who said they had helped.

Of the two-thirds of the country that feels the nation is headed in the wrong direction, the poll found that 63% said they would vote for Trump.

In the Bloomberg survey, a large share of the respondents voiced concerns with Biden’s age and a significant percentage said Trump was dangerous, and suggested the number of “double haters”, as pollsters call voters who approve of neither candidate, is significant.

    The Dems are to the left of their main party counterparts in most of the rest of the democratic world on both fiscal and social policy.

    Like are you trying to compare to Latin America where neo-pronouns are considered a legitimate cause for murder or Europe where a number of migrants over a ten year period roughly equal to how many people the US mints as new citizens every two or three years at most sent the entire continent into a neofascist brain aneurysm?

    Maybe Canada where Quebec basically has state permission to ethnostate so hard that even french literary scholars will fail the language proficiency exam. How about Taiwan where brawls literally break out on the floor of parliament, or Turkey which tried for decades to do everything it could to crush religiosity, ethnic distinguishment, and even letters of the alphabet used by languages they didn’t like.

    “At least their much more institutionally powerful Nazis have healthcare!” is what I hear every damn time someone tries to trot this that fucking line out.
