This says it all in the Morning Consult poll
Among Independents: 34% approve, 59% disapprove
Among Independents: 30% Democrat, 29% Republican
The generic ballot at this point is more ridiculously misleading than it has been in any other election.
In November 2018, Trump's approval was -9, and Dems led in the generic ballot by 7-8 points. Now, Biden's approval is -12, and R's only lead by... 1? Ok Jan. For whatever reason, these people just do not want to say they'd rather vote Republican, unlike in 2017-2018 when they were perfectly comfortable saying they'd vote Democrat. I can understand with how much dems and the media are going in with their shaming and social desirability campaign, but it's fairly obvious to those of us who've seen this movie before that these people will break overwhelmingly one way. It's just a shame because the misleading polling is going to be used by political hacks to craft a false narrative.
Speaking of political hacks…
