Despite what the pundit class is saying, people are liking what they're seeing so far.

What's going to cause Biden and the Dems to significantly drop between now and election day is the big question. Gas prices are steadily dropping and though they could hit a floor it's very unlikely they'll go back to the spring numbers we had. Inflation in general is also slowing and even if it picks up again it probably won't be in any notably recognizable amount before the end of the year. Due to that we probably won't see any economic shocks or massive drops in the stock market or spikes in unemployment. Dobbs motivated Democrats and they're obviously just not going to forget about that in the next two months. And of course the Trump news and scandals are going to keep developing and we'll keep hearing about what he had at Mar-a-Lago and January 6 so the GOP will keep getting pounded in optics. And Russia is getting routed now and it would take quite the turnaround for bad international news to blow up.

The only event I could see being an issue would be a serious scandal hitting that people actually care about, ie not Hunter Biden or the Durham investigation. At this point though it's tough to see what type of Biden Admin scandal the median voter would care about more than Trump's stuff could even happen. Trump raised the bar for severity of scandals so high that it seems almost all politicians almost get a free pass now.
