"SNIP......
From a new Quinnipiac poll:
34% like Joe Biden as a person and also like most of his policies;
21% like Joe Biden as a person but dont like most of his policies;
4% dont like Joe Biden as a person but do like most of his policies;
37% dont like Joe Biden as a person and also dont like most of his policies.
Said pollster Tim Malloy: Biden still clearly connects with voters on a personal level. Its his policies that dont click.

(24,438 posts)what the hell does everybody want?! Do THEY even know?! It would be nice if these polls actually asked those questions and/or find out why they like or dislike certain things.

(4,846 posts)If you asked me this a few years ago, I would have said it's about democrat not being able to connect (on a personal level) to voters. We tend to do all the dirty work behind the scene and we don't take credit publicly for what we've done.
But nowadays, there is so much disinformation on the other side and that there are a big segment of voters that we will never reach. No matter what we say, no matter what facts we lay out, it will all be "fake news". I honestly don't know how to break that "alternative fact" world.
I used to think they are a minority in the republican party. The old days republican leaders at least have the sense to not bring the lies, CT, disinformation to the forefront (example, McCain for stopping that lady for saying stupid thing about Obama). But after Trump, the whole republican party is eating all of that up and I don't see a way to get through to them anymore.
