He’s still projected to lose according to composite polling like 270toWin, Rasmussen, RealClearPolitics, and fivethirtyeight. It’s hardly changed in months and it never looked great. I recommend people get out there and start trying to change peoples minds with methods proven to be effective and nonthreatening.
„Biden is projected to lose“ is spun a bit negatively for a 49-51 split, no?

Basically it’s anyone’s game now, and it will come down to extremely few votes in the end.
538 is still 50/50 because they have a base assumption that it’s too early to tell anything. So the algorithm is pretty hardcoded to read 50/50 for another couple months.
We have the polling though and his battleground polling absolutely took a hit after the election. For example Biden either needs PA and one other state or all but one if he loses PA. So that’s a pretty hard requirement. He was basically even with Trump in PA the night of the debate. But now that gap is opening up, the wrong way. There are very clear indicators of a an impending catastrophe.
Sssshhhhh you’re fuckin up the narrative
We’ve pivoted from “the debate was a CATASTROPHE look at these polls falling” to “how can you say Biden is still viable when he’s 2 points behind right after something majorly depressive to his numbers happened and there are only 4 months more to go”
It’s actually pretty impressive how seamless it went from caring deeply how much his poll numbers have dropped to caring deeply how they’re sitting at practically exactly the same level they were, which is slightly behind
Mozz, please don’t get bamboozled. One of this guys “keys” for his mathematical model is “Charisma”. That’s a stat he pulls out of his ass and pretty disqualifying in the world of statistical models. His claim to fame in predicting modern elections is ridiculous. Half the people I went to college with could predict the majority of races with reasonable accuracy. Obama McCain was probably the one toss up until the VP debate, which Palin lost to Biden really badly. Hillary is the one people like to point to, but people watching the numbers were shouting warnings at the democrats only to be called bernie bros.
This is 100% accurate – in the previous posting, I actually had a whole little spiel about it. Yes. Things are still fucked. If anyone is reading this thinking the intent is “oh good we can relax” then that is absolutely not the intent. The purpose is:
- It’s extremely notable that the media is so relentlessly pushing the narrative that Biden tanked because of the debate (which was, of course, horrifying.) I’m actually pretty surprised that the American people are capable of determining that the old as fuck feeble guy is a better choice than the explicitly malicious shoot-the-protestors guy. But, I guess it does make some kind of sense. This is important context to keep in mind any time you are reading one of those “Biden’s fucked now” stories – it says more about the news outlet than about the impact the debate had, outside of the media landscape.
- Courage! As mentioned above the American people are smarter than the media. I kind of hope that something happens within the Democrats to make me feel better about how the election will go. But, apparently, most people aren’t as simple minded as to say “Well, forgot about wanting to keep contraception legal and not deporting all the immigrants, that guy’s old; now I want the guy who’s just death for all, dressed in a spray-tan skin suit.”
the American people are smarter than the media.
They absolutely are not if you are speaking in gross generalities. Maybe the people you are used to interacting with are, but there’s a lot of stupid mother fuckers in this country that cum from watching Fox News.
I don’t think the debate was going to change any of those people’s minds though
I have to say, I agree with you with some level of surprise about the lack of promised collapse in support for Biden even after a pretty gruesome fuck-up of a debate.
