      Ha! “We” are not. Polling lost its @$% in 2016 and it can gtfo now.

      Corporate news is calling a horse race, and they’re manufacturing a false narrative to do it. That’s what they do. It’s also why journalism is a smoldering husk of what it should be.

      I am going to play Devil’s Advocate for a second, hopefully to show a bigger picture.

      Biden was ahead of trump by 12% when he ran against him, and barely won. Now he is nearly 9% behind and we are supposed to have a victory parade?

      I like Biden, more then likely will vote for him again, but we cannot miss the obvious warning signs that Biden has a very good chance of losing to Trump.

      Mostly because

      1. He didn’t keep his promises.

      2. The economy is slowly rebounding, but it is clear that the average American is still feeling the stress of this post-recession economy.

      3. His age is showing. He’s hunched, he is talking more softly, he’s slower then he was 4 years ago, and cannot project himself like he used to. He’s aged like a fine wine, but he’s also fermented like one too.

      4. Biden doesn’t have a reason to spend 4 more years in office, but he does have a plan to prevent Trump from being elected. Which is okay, but it is the exact same playbook that lost Hilary to Trump in the first place. I hear nothing about Biden’s policies outside of the semi-conductor bill, but I sure do know that Trump is going to put the corporate tax at 15%, I know he is going to allow people to shoot Mexicans on their soil, agree to an abortion timeline. Horrible stuff, but at least people understand where he is.
