For those who falsely state the Real Clear Politics polling average is somehow tainted, note that it has almost the same result, currently showing Trump with an insignificant 0.4 over Biden, which is basically tied.

I am the poster who thought that the reason Biden was raising so much money from wealthy donors despite the unlikelihood of being reelected, was because the donors were actually buying the right to determine the nominee, and Biden would drop out on March 31, releasing his delegates and allowing the nominee to be chosen at the second ballot at the convention. I thought the Democratic establishment would rally around Newsom in April, allowing him time to build a campaign and go unchallenged at the convention in August.
I was wrong. It was for Israel. Wealthy donors decided to keep Biden on the ticket and are continuing to prop him up with money to ensure he maintains a hardline with Israel. They don’t care if he loses because Trump will be even more hardline, and wealthy people really didn’t suffer under Trump. Biden will remain on the ticket until August and they may replace him with Gavin Newsom, or they may not. The Democratic Convention will be a disaster like 1968 due to the left branding Biden as a warmonger, it will damage the party in the general like it did in 1968, and even if Gavin Newsom is given the nomination, he will not win because he doesn’t have time to build a campaign.
Wealthy donors weren’t buying the right to determine the nominee. They were buying the right to toss the election.

R16 I also think the assassination - which was VERY CLEARLY A TARGETED ASSASSINATION - of aid workers in Gaza was done by Mossad to sew division among American liberals to ensure Trump would be reelected. Biden loses if only a couple thousand college students in three or four states stay home. I think there was a plan to replace Biden with Gavin Newsom at the end of March. I think donors with close Israeli ties convinced Biden to postpone it to the convention. (The donors did not know about the pending attack.) I think Mossad, once seeing that Biden did not step down, committed the assassination, on April 4, knowing that it would cause division among Democrats, and prime the Chicago convention for chaos, and damage the party in the general.
There was no purpose to killing those aid workers other than to ensure Trump’s reelection.

R32 I agree that it probably won’t happen.
Because now, if Gavin Newsom wants to be President, he would be more likely to run and win in 2028, than if he were to replace Biden at the last minute at the convention. Gavin Newsom needed to be swapped no later than the end of March, because money needs to start being spent for the general election now. If Biden had dropped out in March, the money he raised would have to be returned. All that money could have just been redonated to Newsom, who could start spending it to introduce himself to a national audience. But since he’s not dropping out, that money will have to start being spent promoting an unpopular Biden.
Additionally, with Biden apparently remaining on the ticket until convention, convention protests are guaranteed to be angry. Those would cause collateral damage to whatever person came out of it as the nominee. It would be smarter for Newsom to simply wash his hands of 2024 and start fresh in 2028. Richard Nixon won in 1968 because he didn’t run in 1964.
So no Gavin Newsom will not be on the ticket. There was a window of opportunity, it went away.

Trump said back in his original campaign that there were rapist coming across the border, and everyone repremainded him about it. Look at the robbers and the murderers and the squatters and the rapists that are coming into this country now. Look at what is happening to Sweden, Spain, Ireland, the UK.

Biden’s Gains Against Trump Vanish on Deep Economic Pessimism
The president is trailing Donald Trump in six of seven swing states as a majority of poll respondents see the economy worsening by the end of the year.
By Gregory Korte
(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden’s recent polling bump in key battleground states has mostly evaporated as a deep current of pessimism about the trajectory of the US economy hurts his standing with voters. The April Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll found Biden is ahead in just one of the seven states most likely to determine the outcome of his matchup with Donald Trump, leading Michigan by 2 percentage points. Biden trails the presumptive GOP nominee slightly in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and his deficit in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina is larger.
Those results are largely a return to the previous state of the presidential race, before a strong State of the Union address appeared to power Biden in March to his best showing in the monthly poll since it began in October. The reversion comes as poll respondents offered a bleak near-term view of the economy, the issue that has consistently registered as their top concern at the ballot box. A majority of swing-state voters see worsening economic conditions in the coming months, with fewer than one in five saying they expect inflation and borrowing costs to be lower by the end of the year. Despite a resilient job market, only 23% of respondents said the employment rate would improve over the same time period.
For undecided voters — a group crucial to Biden’s effort to close the gap with Trump — the share who expect improvement on those economic factors was in the single digits. “Some of the shine of the State of the Union address has worn off,” said Matt Monday, senior manager of Morning Consult. “People are really tying Bidenomics and their perception of the economy to the inflation rate.”
More than three quarters of poll respondents said the president is responsible for the current performance of the US economy, and nearly half said he was “very responsible.” The poll has a margin of error of 1 percentage point across the seven states and was conducted April 8-15. While it was in the field, another higher-than-expected inflation report bolstered the case for the Federal Reserve to put off interest rate cuts, suggesting voters won’t see a retreat in borrowing costs any time soon.
Biden has sought to remind voters of the nation's economic recovery since the depths of the pandemic while acknowledging there is “still more work to do.” The White House routinely touts job gains, industrial investments and that price increases have cooled from their 2022 peak.
by Anonymous | reply 67 | April 24, 2024 11:52 AM |
Abortion Advantage
Meanwhile, the Biden campaign is counting on social issues, especially abortion, to help energize Democrats. For the first time in the tracking poll, more than half of swing-state voters said abortion was very important to their vote. The shares of Democrats and independents who characterized the issue that way has increased since March, while the proportion of Republican voters saying that has held steady, a sign the issue is a growing priority for the voters more likely to align with Biden’s views on it.
On April 9, the second day of polling, an Arizona Supreme Court decision upheld a restrictive abortion law from 1864. In that state, abortion is now the most important issue for three in 10 Democratic women, surpassing the economy. Independent voters in Arizona say they trust Biden over Trump on that issue by 12 percentage points. Among suburban women in the state, it’s a 25-point advantage. Trump has tried to moderate his position on abortion, saying the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade — made possible by three justices he appointed — means that the decision of each state “must be the law of the land.” He then said the Arizona Supreme Court decision went too far. In response to open-ended questions about what they had heard about Trump in the last week, hundreds of respondents cited that issue. Many said he was being evasive or flip-flopping.
Voter Disillusionment
The RealClearPolitics average of national polls shows Trump and Biden in a virtual tie in the popular vote. But across seven battleground states in the Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, Trump has a six-point lead in a head-to-head matchup with Biden.
The margin between the major-party candidates is similar when third-party or independent contenders are included. The most threatening of those challengers, former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has consistently polled in the high single digits, buoyed by wide name recognition owing to his famous Democratic family. Kennedy secured a place on the Michigan ballot last week under the Natural Law Party banner. The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll of registered voters does not take into account how likely respondents are to vote in an election still more than six months away. The 2020 election had the highest turnout of eligible voters in more than a century, but voter disillusionment over a Biden-Trump rematch — with both candidates having high negative ratings — makes participation this time uncertain. Biden's six-point deficit across the swing states is even wider than that of Democratic congressional candidates, who trail Republicans by two points. That hints that more voters have a sour view of Biden than his party overall.
Those ticket-splitters — voters who say they’ll vote for Trump for president but a Democrat for Congress — are far more pessimistic about the economy than those who split their voters the other way, Biden for president and a Republican for Congress.
Methodology
The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll surveyed 4,969 registered voters in seven swing states: 801 registered voters in Arizona, 802 in Georgia, 708 in Michigan, 450 in Nevada, 703 in North Carolina, 803 in Pennsylvania and 702 in Wisconsin. The surveys were conducted online from April 8-15. The aggregated data across the seven swing states were weighted to approximate a target sample of swing-state registered voters based on gender, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, home ownership, 2020 presidential vote and state. State-level data were weighted to approximate a target sample of registered voters in the respective state based on gender, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, home ownership, and 2020 presidential vote. The margin of error is plus or minus 1 percentage point across the seven states; 3 percentage points in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania; 4 percentage points in Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, and 5 percentage points in Nevada.

Everyone knew that recovery would take years, we were told Biden’s plan would cause inflation. Even a fairly uncynical person would have seen that Biden would best leave another term to someone else because he would never be able to run on the economy since it wouldn’t have recovered by 2024. His job was to fall on that sword, that was why people accepted him as the nominee four years ago, because he would be gone in four years. Do what needed to be done and get out of Dodge.

There is an Australian TV show called Planet America, which takes a weekly look at US politics and is particularly interested in the statistics. They pointed out this week that in the polls that ask the question, Trump leads by a long way among voters who have not voted in any of the last 3 elections, whereas Biden leads more convincingly the more of those elections a person has voted in. Among those who took part in all three, he is well ahead.
If you've voted in the last three elections, you're very likely to vote in the next one. The Trump supporting non-voters MIGHT turn up in 2024, but it's no sure thing. So that's something to watch, particularly in those seven states.
They also pointed out that RFK is just now starting to take more voters from Trump than from Biden, whereas before it was the other way round. Not yet clear if it's a definite trend.

“Given what Jews endured in the twentieth century, it would be tactless to call these Religious Zionist disciples fascists. Let’s just say they celebrate a nation that is enjoying divine election and frustrated glory, surviving through permanent, agonal war; a nation united by blood and faith, covering up irredentism with a rhetoric of covenanted motherland, educating by indoctrination, devoted to a code of behavior defined by hierarchy, and spreading cynicism about democratic norms, including the very idea of dispassionate truth.”

Jewish voters still largely favor Democrats. But those who believe in letting Israel do whatever it wants will defect to Republicans (if they have not already; Trump was bankrolled after all by Sheldon Adelson.)
However, this the states which will determine the election do not have significant Jewish populations, with the exception of Pennsylvania.

And part of the reason many people did not vote for John McCain is that they did not like his running mate.
Partisan people don’t decide elections. Election are decided by occasional voters who are politically unaligned. A running mate is a major consideration for them when the nominee is as old as Biden, just as it was when it was John McCain.

Point taken, but my hypothesis was I'm Jewish and I live in America.
Whatever horrible stuff Netanyahu does he is not likely to start persecuting Jews. The same could not confidently be said for the GOP, the way they're going. If Jews are lucky they won't be one of the persecuted groups this time, but women are already on the chopping block in the US and gays and intellectuals will shortly follow if Trump wins. You can tell from his tweets he's itching to be able to lock up some of the commentariat. So as a Jew I wouldn't be flush with confidence. And I sure wouldn't want to have to flee to Israel right now.

Here is the problem with R153 and why we are seeing articles like below
He only thinks fascism is bad when it persecutes Jews.
Fascism is bad because a minority is scapegoated for the problems of the majority.
Many other Jews have come to similar conclusions as OP which is why they support Trump, or Netanyahu, or they can convince themselves that Israel isn’t perpetuating the same crimes the Germans were also responsible for.
The Left - who, after all, were the first victims of the Nazis - have been saying this for years, but in a quiet voice. The Left is now making the comparison out loud now. This is leading more Jews to support Trump.
So do not tell me the Jews will save us because they still have the cultural memory of the horrors of the Holocaust. That ship has sailed. Or more accurately, that ship was heading to Gaza but then turned around because Israel began assassinating international aid workers.

Here’s the thing - this data would have been available since last year, showing Biden had reached an extremely stable plateau and reelection would be unlikely if not impossible. At that point, it would have been clear that Biden needed to stand down.
Instead, the decision was made to pull forward.
Believe me, even the Democratic Party has very little reason to want Biden to continue to be President. He did not staff his White House with transnational Democrats as past Democrats had done - everyone remembers Bill Clinton staffed his cabinet with people like Federico Pẽna from Denver or Bill Richardson from New Mexico; Biden chose old Washington hands like Merrick Garland and Anthony Blinken. Democrats across the country running for office want an energetic President who will campaign and fundraise for them, not an unpopular geriatric who is less press friendly than Nixon and who sucks up all the fundraising for himself to continue on his existential war for the Republic. In almost all aspects, Biden did not present any advantage to put up for reelection for the Democratic Party. He has no use as a recruiter or a campaign booster.
Yet the decision was made to pull forward.
The only argument that could be made for pulling forward is that Democrats simply wanted to avoid a wasteful primary season, and start behaving like a parliamentary system and have the candidate simply chosen by the party. That would require Biden to suck up all the delegates in the state primaries and then stand down. He would decline the nomination on the first round of voting at the convention and then the delegates would be released and the superdelegates would sway them toward the party leadership’s chosen person, who would have already been anointed in public after a standing down announcement by Biden.
Except that has not happened.
It needed to happen before March 31, or Biden would be blamed for waiting longer than Lyndon Johnson who is already blamed for waiting too long to stand down in 1968, should the replacement candidate lose.
I think that was they were heading, but something happened with Israel.
On February 28, Haim Saban no-showed at his own Biden fundraiser.
Haim Saban is one of the largest, if not the largest, Democratic fundraiser. Haim Saban is also known to more or less blackmail politicians out in the open. Haim Saban was one of the signatories on an open letter from prominent donors to Nancy Pelosi, in March 2008, warning her that they would withhold funding for the DCCC (House pac) for her “meddling” (Obama had taken an insurmountable lead in the delegate count but not enough to win the nomination. Pelosi merely said it would not be good for the superdelegates to go against the will of the majority. Saban wanted the superdelegates to overrule the pledged delegates and give the nomination to Hillary Clinton. He was entitled to meddle, not she.)
Haim Saban also takes credit for the Abraham Accords, which of course was brokered under Trump.
On March 13, Chuck Schumer took the unprecedented step of denouncing Netanyahu on the floor of Congress à propos of no real particular instigation and the Democratic Senate lined up behind him.
On March 31, nothing happened.
On April 4, Israel appears to have flat-out assassinated aid workers.
On April 6, Pelosi took the unprecedented step of aligning with the Squad flank to call for an immediate halt to arms sales to Israel. This went against the Biden administration’s position and further damaged the Biden administration’s credibility among antiwar progressives. It even went against Pelosi’s own Israeli hawk history. Why would Pelosi pivot like this at this time, to damage Biden?
Where is Nancy Pelosi from?
So, we are now at a point where we are heading into an election Biden will almost certainly lose. Nothing can be done to save his reelection, and the Democrats must simply accept that any backup plan will almost certainly fail because there is not enough time.

WASHINGTON—In a shocking breach of White House security, President Joe Biden was reportedly carried away by ants Friday. According to witnesses, the 81-year-old commander-in-chief remained quite calm during his apparent abduction by the insects, showing no signs of resistance as the swarm of approximately 2,500 black carpenter ants hoisted him over their bodies using their powerful mandibles and began marching slowly but steadily toward the White House Rose Garden. Secret Service officials confirmed that snipers stationed on the roof of the executive mansion fired upon the swarm to no avail, reportedly because the ants’ 6-millimeter-long bodies were simply too small to target. At press time, sources said the FBI was negotiating with the ant colony’s queen for Biden’s release.
