A couple figures to aid the discussion. Hot off the presses from todays polling:

Biden versus Trump (up to date as of today):

Biden versus Trump and Clinton versus Trump (X axis is days out from the election):

For edification, Clinton versus Trump 2016 (keep in mind that Trump and Clintons polling numbers in the early parts of this figure represent being in contested primaries):

Another version comparing 2016 to 2024 (but more focused on the period of time before the election):

You do realize Trump has lost at least 35% in every single primary, right? The guy has no chance in hell to beat Biden.

I'm not sure what you mean by having 'lost' 35%?

Hes won every primary so far.
