Biden is a horrible candidate.
he's a great way to see how people don't really interrogate politics. I think a lot of the early polling is indicative of Obama nostalgia. what people don't realise though is that Obama picked Biden as a complement, someone who could appeal to a different segment of the population and check his more liberal ideas once in power. those hoping he will be a return to to Obama style oratory, policy, debating and outreach are mistaken.
the first signs of trouble are that 8-point hit he took in the Morning Consult poll immediately following his Thursday night debate performance. I suspect blacks who have defaulted to him as the best course versus Trump will eventually reconsider and he will eventually only be left primarily with right and moderate older white voters, still a fair chunk but certainly not the apparent coalition he has now.
