(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden registered his best showing yet in a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult tracking poll of battleground states, even as voters offered withering appraisals of his debate performance amid panic within his party.
My personal take aways from this:
- People don't actually care about the candidates. It's more like a soccer game with red team blue team.
- Remember swing states isn't one thing. The individual swing states go their individual directions. E.g. Pennsylvania is going to be red, Wisconsin is clearly unclear etc
- As much as people like rhetorics like "blue wave" or "red wave" none of this is happening. The US is a 50/50 country. No election in the forseeable future will ever be 60/40 in one or the other direction. Unlike in the UK or France
