Joe Biden faces continued headwinds from broadly negative job ratings overall, widespread concerns about his age and decreased confidence among Democratic-aligned voters, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.
There is no clear leader in a potential rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump, who is widely ahead in the GOP primary. And nearly half of registered voters (46%) say that any Republican presidential nominee would be a better choice than Biden in 2024.
We are so fucked.

Would you vote for a different candidate in a primary?
i guess that would depend on who it was and who the likely repub nominee was. versus trump i think Biden is fine and wins again, iād be more scared if the republicans had someone that was remotely likeable on the benchā¦
the dems donāt really have an heir apparent either, but i think iād be inclined to vote for someone like newsom if it was at issue.
Itās roughly a toss-up that will lean one way or the other depending on random events that happen in the lead up to the election, always has been, always will be.
The latest confirmation of that is both horrifying and meh, old news.

Thatās a bit of a click-baity headline. The looming issues with water are really complex but also potentially dire. If you are tasked with coming up with ideas to address water issues, it would be incredibly irresponsible not to consider public-private ventures to raise capital to update infrastructure thatās important for water production and delivery.
I know it doesnāt matter but donald trump is less than 4 years younger than biden
and trump seems like heās lost a step but theyāre gonna attack with whatever shit they throw that actually sticks

Iāve seen a fair bit of reporting that 60% of those surveyed were R or R leaning independents. Horrible poll.

I looked up the actual recommendation and the privatization examples were things like small rural communities without a tax base for infrastructure investment that allowed private companies to come set up their water services. Itād obviously be better if some form of government could manage to find the funding instead but if the options are to let a company own the infrastructure or leave a community without water itās an easy choice.
wait, the capital of vermont is only 8000 people?
well, still bigger than my town
well just 3 points the same as lost from the census changes, it doesnāt seem to make any difference in the 24 map, also very unlikely a tie is realistic so thereās that too.
Itās also the only state capital without a McDonaldās.

they are stuck in a hard place, because itās probably hard to find a good example to use, because the small towns that actually do vote republican probably arenāt very photogenicā¦
