A year out from elections, survivors remain best bet
And if a week can be so momentous, all the more so holds true for a month or a year. The way time operates in politics is unique. Consider where we were a year ago.
Kevin McCarthy was Speaker of the House. Mike Pence and Tim Scott were important players in the presidential race while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was considered a long shot. A man named Vivek wasn’t known by most voters. But a year from now, both of them may also be out of the race. A week from now we may have once-unheard-of candidate as a front-runner.
President Joe Biden has seen his polling ebb and flow depending on the issue of the month. On foreign policy, for example, it’s been up for issues like Ukraine. On the other hand, a recent Quinnipiac University survey shows that 69% of Democrats under 35 disapprove of how he is handling the war in Israel.
Perhaps more concerning to President Biden are the continuing polls that show voters of all ages concerned about… his age. Voters remain concerned that our oldest president, who just turned 81, is simply not up to the job.
