Political commentary regarding the potential Biden-CHEETO rematch-polling info from the "Experts"

Being a somewhat political junkie I read many articles.  Figured I would attempt to establish a home for the latest "word on the street" regarding the current climate and clean up other threads. FWIW-

Leading off-

"A Biden–Trump matchup would be odd, among other reasons because each candidate is so unpopular. As CNN’s Agiesta noted, “Both Biden and Trump have favorability ratings that are deeply underwater: 36% favorable vs. 59% unfavorable for Biden, 38% favorable vs. 56% unfavorable for Trump.”
 The intensity of those sentiments could matter. The Atlantic’s Brownstein looks ahead: “The silver lining for Biden is that in Trump he has a polarizing potential opponent … In the 2022 and 2023 elections, a crucial slice of voters down on the economy and Biden’s performance voted for Democrats in the key races anyway, largely because they viewed the Trump-aligned GOP alternatives as too extreme. And, though neither the media nor the electorate is yet paying full attention, Trump in his 2024 campaign is regularly unveiling deeply divisive policy positions (such as mass deportation and internment camps for undocumented immigrants) and employing extremist and openly racist language (echoing fascist dictators such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in describing his political opponents as ‘vermin’). Eventually, Trump’s excesses could shape the 2024 election as much as Biden’s record will. … For Biden, the key group could be voters who say they disapprove of his performance in office, but only ‘somewhat,’ rather than ‘strongly.’”"

"Polls", increasingly, only tap the thoughts of older folk who still answer their "telephones".  
Has anyone here actually received an email, or a text, or other modern form of contact asking for your political opinions?  I got questioned by someone with a clipboard in the mall, but that was maybe 6 years ago.  
The "red wave" was strongly predicted but never happened, and recent appearances of cheeto at games and even scheduled rallies seem to show both camps, although it's hard to judge the size of either side;  polls have recently been shown quite inaccurate, especially those taken a year in advance.  
I'm still hoping for a very different stage, and players, one year from now (and while I'm dreaming, I'd also like a pony.  Named Ferrari).

Some numbers from NH polling: (Politico)

The exit polls, meanwhile, revealed potential weaknesses for both Biden and Trump: 10% of voters who cast a ballot in the Democratic primary said they would not ultimately back Biden in November if he wins the nomination.

But that number was much larger for Trump: 33% of voters who participated in the Republican primary said they would not support Trump in the general election if he were the nominee.

That gap could just be a function of more Democrats and anti-Trump independents streaming into the competitive Republican primary where they got a chance to vote against Trump. But for all the talk of Biden’s weakness with his own party, the exit polls showed far more division and factionalism within the GOP.

While she insists she will make a last stand in South Carolina, the exit polls also included one stat that is ominous for Haley’s chances going forward. She received the support of only 25% of self-described Republicans who voted yesterday. You can’t win the Republican nomination if you can’t win Republicans."
