This, of course, doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I was about to say, I'm a little confused with the mixing-in of percentages -- especially since it's not a straight "for whom will you vote" poll.

Once again Kanye is omitted as though he’s not a serious candidate.

Just wait until he’s inaugurated, racists.

Why  could not they just do a regular poll? However, looking at the favorability 50% to 38% looks about right. Biden is at +4, Trump is at -22. But it's a poll among  "the American general population (ages 18+)". So this is not even a poll among registered voters.

He will have to be a write-in in some states, and unfortunately there’s evidence people routinely misspell his first name.

Even if he doesn't win the "national election" our esteemed Electoral College will see to it that he is made president after extensive deliberation on the pros and cons of each candidate.

Is 538 doing one of those debate pre- and post- favorabilities from the primary? Those were interesting.
