Almost every poll I've seen shows it being very competitive.

What in the chicken fried fuck are you talking about?

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/

This is the figure I made last month. I'm regenerating it with more recent data and will add it below.

Edit: Here is the updated figure. Its gotten worse for Joe Biden. If you DO NOT WANT Trump as president, you NEED to find another candidate, RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Let's see the five-way polling this race actually will be about.

The guy's losing his mind over 3 points 8 months before the election.

It's not a great position for Biden to be in, but throwing in the towel now is a terrible idea.

Are these goal posts being moved or is this an actual request?

Because if you want a different figure generated I can do so. I've got the data loaded.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Go ahead. That is the actual matchup. And yes, I realize Trump is currently ahead there. Eight months away and facing 91 indictments.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Go ahead.

Go ahead and what? Is there a different figure you want generated or not?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I already told you. The five-way matchup. You asked me if I wanted that and I said go ahead. I'm not sure what's unclear.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What five way matchup do you want to see?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The one of the five candidates who people have said they plan to vote for? The one that all the five-way match-up polls are taken for? Are you trolling me?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Say which five candidates you want in whatever figure you want. Dont assume I can read your mind. Right now there is no five way race. There is a one way race on the Democratic side, and barely a two way Race on the Republican side.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Weird then that, for example, Marquette has a five-way race poll.

But sure, if you want to pretend people like RFK, Jr. aren't running, go ahead. It won't make for an accurate poll, but go ahead.
