Biden at 50%, good to see.

[ProudModerate2]

The days are ticking.
Biden continues to have a very good lead.

Biden: 56/44 (+12)
Harris: 56/45 (+11)
Pence: 48/52 (-4)
Trump: 45/54 (-9)

Biden's incredibly popular these days. He's basically converted all of the anti-Trump people into pro-Biden people, where previously a quarter or so were also anti-Biden or neutral.

Can Joe withstand the impending VP debate bump?

do you mean pro-Biden?

And yeah, it's pretty remarkable. I would not be surprised to see his approval exceed 60% for a week or two after the inauguration, which I would not have thought possible even a month ago.

(Obama was above 60% for over 4 months, peaking at 67% in early March 2009, but that was before polarization really got going. He had quite the honeymoon phase).

There is no universe where a +12 favorable candidate loses to a -9 unfavorable candidate.

[forza nocta]

did his favorability go up a lot?

It's extremely remarkable. I was certain going into this election that no matter who the nominee was, a combination of a divisive primary and Trump and the GOP dragging them into the mud would guarantee they would have a net negative favorability by now. Even if not as bad as Trump's or as Hillary's was. The fact that Biden has not only a better favorability rating than both, but he's above water, over 50, and is more liked than disliked by double digits is insane in this kind of political climate. Yet another reason he's going to win big and has always been a strong, underestimated candidate. Joe's basic decency is clear to Americans, especially in contrast to Trump's lack of it, which is why nothing they can throw at him sticks. He's nowhere near as polarizing or easy to scare people away from as Hillary or even to an extent Obama was.

this election has gotten really boring it would be nice to have a few shock polls to be excited about whos going to win - the election people r going to say it's a "close race" when biden has a huge lead it's going to be funny to call this by 11.
