I can't get my head around President Biden polling poorly and Trump polling well.
I don't think I need to provide details for people on this site, but Trump was so horrible as a president and President Biden has done such a good job. Even if Biden was a passive placeholder four years of him would have been better than 4 more years of Trump.
I don't understand where the low polls are coming from. Particularly for groups that would not do particularly well under a Trump regime like African Americans and youth.
I see some people complaining about President Biden's age, but his administration has been doing a good job and Trump is only about 4 years younger ( and in much worse shape ).
I don't get where the hate is coming from.
I remember the "red wave" that never happened and articles explaining why polls aren't as accurate as they used to be. However, that answer feels too easy to me, a cop out.
Maybe people are angry about greedflation. However, Trump's presidency when it wasn't about vindictiveness was all about neglect. I can't believe people think Trump would be better for the economy -- that he would even try beyond the stock market so he polls well.
*Disclaimer:
My apologies if this is the wrong place for this conversation. I thought here or "talk" would be the best choices, though people in "talk" might not want political conversations.

Is keeping Donald Trump in the 2024 US election beneficial to Democrats?
Yes, Trump has a real chance of winning in 2024 and that would be dangerous for the world in many ways. On the other hand Trump seems like the easiest candidate for the presumptive nominee...
Yes, Trump has a real chance of winning in 2024 and that would be dangerous for the world in many ways.
On the other hand Trump seems like the easiest candidate for the presumptive nominee President Biden to beat.
- A lot of Americans are rightly scared shitless of Trump and will turn out to vote against him.
- Trump is likely to try to dodge debates which benefits Biden, who has a stuttering problem and a gaffe problem.
- Trump is elderly, like Biden so that somewhat neutralizes the age issue for Biden.
If Trump was removed from the election DeSantis might become the front runner or nominee
- He is young, and the age issue would be on Biden again
- He might have the debates Trump would have eschewed and do well in them
- DeSantis would likely pick up Trump's base in that situation
The worst scenario with Trump being removed from the election would if someone other than DeSantis became the nominee
- Again, the age issue would be a thing for Biden again
- The unknown nominee could be a better debater than Biden
- The unknown candidate would have neither Trump's nor DeSantis's baggage, causing more voters to stay home or swing voters picking him/her over Biden
Edit:
To clarify, I mean what would happen if Trump was kept entirely out of 2024 - no 3rd party runs, no vote splitting.
