Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about

0:06.4

Trump and Biden and we're going to go over some polling. Now keep in mind polling this early on. Most of it is

0:17.0

completely irrelevant. It does not matter. Most polling at this point is really measuring enthusiasm for the candidate in the primary.

0:27.4

That's really what it's measuring and it's not a great indicator of how somebody's going to do in the general.

0:37.0

So at this point I tend to ignore it.

43% said they definitely won't vote for Biden.
