A Glimpse Into the Future If Biden Stays

July 18, 2024 · 3:33 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball: “While public polling has not necessarily shifted dramatically in the three weeks since the first debate, the numbers have generally gotten worse for President Biden, and Democrats are obviously concerned about their own bleak internal numbers, many of which have been surfacing publicly.”

“Applying the current polling situation to the electoral map paints a frightening picture for Democrats.”

“To be clear, these are not our official ratings, so this is just a hypothetical Democratic Doomsday map. But it also shows the kinds of rating changes we probably would make, or at least those we would have to seriously consider making, in the near future if Joe Biden remains the Democratic nominee and cannot improve his standing.”
