Thomas Edsall: “The predictive power of horse-race polling a year from the presidential election is weak at best. The Biden campaign can take some comfort in that. But what recent surveys do reveal is that the coalition that put Joe Biden in the White House in the first place is nowhere near as strong as it was four years ago.”
“These danger signs include fraying support among core constituencies, including young voters, Black voters and Hispanic voters, and the decline, if not the erasure, of traditional Democratic advantages in representing the interests of the middle class and speaking for the average voter.”
“Any of these on their own might not be cause for alarm, but taken together they present a dangerous situation for Biden.”
Said Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg: “This is grim.”
