The survey found that just one in four voters (24%) think the country is moving in the right direction – a key question in the run-up to a national election – and more than twice as many voters said that Biden’s policies had personally hurt them than those who said they had helped.
Of the two-thirds of the country that feels the nation is headed in the wrong direction, the poll found that 63% said they would vote for Trump.
In the Bloomberg survey, a large share of the respondents voiced concerns with Biden’s age and a significant percentage said Trump was dangerous, and suggested the number of “double haters”, as pollsters call voters who approve of neither candidate, is significant.
] While I would vote for someone more progressive if I had the choice, honestly a centrist may be good to just cool things down. Though Biden hasn’t been great at that either.
I just wanted to say - how many times should this experiment be repeated before we figure out that no, centrist politicians to cool things down with the right doesn’t work? You’re just moving the Overton window further and further right, making it increasingly harder for leftist politicians to actually make progress.
