  • Okay I didn’t that because its likely off topic.

    This article is about a statistic, which says (very narrowly) that Biden (is currently) polling better than other hypothetical nominees. I’m saying that this is because Biden is more well known, due to his incumbency.

    This statistic does not and can not sat anything about if a different Democratic candidate would poll better or worse than Biden if they were nominated or were the presumptive nominee.

    Because Biden is the president, he is in the news more, and is more recognizable, and thus more people “like” him than whoever else was listed on this study.

    There is a reason incumbents are almost always the nominee. Voters are generally not well educated and the vast majority of them just know Biden.
