at a time when that's the most important thing for a lot of people.
for example
https://www.publicpolicypolling.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/PPP_Release_National_12219.pdf
Raleigh, N.C. PPP's newest national poll finds that at the midway point of Donald
Trump's term as President, he's a clear underdog for reelection.
Trump gets just 41 or 42% in head to head match ups against 7 likely Democratic
candidates for President. He trails Joe Biden 53-41, Bernie Sanders 51-41, Kamala Harris
48-41, Beto ORourke 47-41, Elizabeth Warren 48-42, and Cory Booker and Kirsten
Gillibrand each 47-42.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
