    Really hard to keep this all straight. I feel like I hear “Trump polling better than Biden!” and “Trump too unpopular to win” all at the same time.

      The bottom line is “they both suck”, according to the majority of poll respondents.

      AFAIK, they have the lowest approval ratings ever for an incumbent US president and his opponent on the run up to an election.

        It’s probably more due to increased asymmetric partisan polarization than anything. The same issue shows in polling on the economy. When Trump was in, republicans reported that the economy was great. As soon as Biden took office, the economy was doing horribly.
