That’s a rhetorical question. There are ways it could be survivable, but this finding in the new Fox News poll has to be the most disturbing result from the new bout of general-election polling. Besides the public’s belief that Biden is too old to serve again, 48 percent said that Biden’s policies are hurting them and their families, and only 25 percent said they are helping — whereas 45 percent said Trump’s policies helped and 32 percent said they hurt.
By the way, Fox asked whether Biden has succeeded or failed regarding various policy priorities, from securing the border to addressing climate change, and a majority said he failed on every single one.
Also worth noting: The new CBS poll has Trump at 52 percent — yes, 52 percent, which must be his best showing in a national poll ever — against Biden. And Trump has led or been tied in 19 out of the last 20 polls, included in the RealClearPolitics average.
