Joe Biden is not widely and viscerally disliked as the last Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and that’s complicating President Trump’s reelection effort, writes markzbarabak.
Joe Biden’s pledges to ‘change the system’ echo Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and reflect a new American reality.
There are, of course, plenty of people — including some Democrats — who don’t much care for Biden. Some on the left consider him too centrist and too willing to compromise with Republicans. Some on the right consider him a doddering Obama administration relic and glad-handing phony.But even Trump strategists privately concede the affable Biden is nowhere near as unpopular or easy to demonize as Clinton.
Even after his many decades in politics, they said, Biden remains a mystery to a number of voters. In fact, a recent NBC-Wall Street Journal poll that had Trump trailing by 7 percentage points nationally found nearly a quarter of those surveyed expressed a neutral opinion of the former vice president, suggesting they were open to persuasion over the next few months.
