    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden has overtaken his Republican challenger Donald Trump in three battleground states, according to polls five months before the presidential election.

    In March, the incumbent and the former president won enough primary races to secure, respectively, the Democratic and Republican nominations in the 2024 presidential election.

    Polls have so far shown that the results will be tight as the pair are statistically tied in most surveys, or enjoying only marginal leads.

    However, speaking to Newsweek Todd Landman, a professor of political science at Nottingham University in the U.K., said it was “still too far out from the election” to read much into swing state polls.

    He said: “The race remains highly volatile, and it is still too far out from the election to make any firm conclusion from changing polls across these swing states.”

    “The Hunter Biden proceedings in Delaware are just underway and there is a very long time to go politically, with many unknown events that will have effects on voter preferences and choices at the national and state level,” he said.

      And that has what to do with Joe’s electability?

        If Biden’s son is convicted, it reflects poorly on Joe Biden. If Trump is convicted, it reflects poorly on Joe Biden.

        Essentially, everything is Joe Biden’s fault.

          It’s Murc’s Law. People think Democrats are responsible for everything that happens in politics. To a lot of people, Republicans are just an obstacle that if Dems fail to hurdle, it’s all the Dem’s fault. Republicans have been broken for so long, many people have just written their agency out of politics entirely.

            What other option do we really have? If there’s only one set of adults in the room, it’s their job to stop the children. If they just sit while the children start killing each other, then who’s responsible?

            I’m not saying it’s not the Republicans fault. I am saying, though, that Democrats really need to up their game if they want to save the country.
