    Followed by hours, days and weeks of mindless speculation and "expert analysis."

    At this point in his presidency, Trump.....was on his second AG, SecDef, HHS, Interior, Labor, VA secretaries, FBI director, U.N. Ambassador,
    his third National Security Advisor and White House chief of staff

    Biden.....second Labor secretary, second WH chief of staff.

    Even normie voters know about poll averaging and how individual polls contain too much potential for bad signal-noise ratio. But the iron law of media says that if our company paid for a poll, it is the One True Poll and all reporting, analysis and commentary must treat it as established fact. To me, that's the real problem here. It's especially a problem for CNN because their pollster SSRS, has always had more volatile results -- in both directions. This can set up months of "Biden (or Trump) Doomed" stories followed by "Biden (or Trump) Bounces Bzck."

    I could name and knew the story on everyone in the Trump administration. Why? Because they were corrupt, unfit, not qualified, criminal, etc. and in the news daily for their actions.
    Biden, who I voted for and for the most part like, I can only name three members of his cabinet/staff. Why? Because they are competent professionals who just do their job.

    I like it that way better.

    Looked into SSRS. From its "About" page:

    "We are critical thinkers that ..."

    "SSRS is redefining research to impact positive change."

    "We combine strategic, technical, and methodological skills and talents to form an incredible team."

    YUCK!

    I'd settle for a massive stroke. On national TV.

    On one hand, this is what I mean. We are giving way too much attention to the Nazis and the racists and the whiny babies. Yes, they decided the race in 2016, but that was the imperfect storm in which enough swing voters were never going to vote for the uppity lady. Four years of hell later, people just wanted competence they can ignore. On the other hand, 73 million people saw 2017-2020 and said you know what, I want more of that. So who fucking knows.

    I resent the fact that I actually know the names and deeds of members of Congress and governors from multiple states other than my own.
