Do better, Axios.
I don’t know the specific problem with that pollster but the general message of the headline still stands IMO.
Trump’s debate performance was awful, but so was Biden’s, and somehow because this country is weird as hell Biden is held to a much higher standard than Trump while also being immensely unpopular.
No. The message does not stand at all.

This man is a propagandist. Do not use him as a source for anything. You might as well just listen to the Trump campaign if you're going to listen to him.
Damn. Axios really should have mentioned it is a partisan pollster. That’s disappointing.
Trump's performance as a debater was awful. He ignored the questions put to him, and frequently lied through his teeth. But, you could put a clip from this debate alongside a clip from his debate with Hillary 8 years ago, and not really see much of a difference.
The reason people are freaking out is that Biden's age was on full display here. His stutter was much more visible, his voice was raspy at times, and he frequently couldn't finish his thoughts before the mic went off. We also have a long history of his time in government to know how he used to be.
If this election turns into a referendum on Biden's age, he loses. Even though Trump is only 3 years younger. Trump doesn't show it.
I mean a lot of the time Biden’s sentence’s were incoherent. Reminding me of the Trump shark type blabbering. Disappointing. Although it seems he was ill.
Becoming incoherent because of a illness, that doesn't hospitalize you, isn't a great trait for a president.
We lost to Trump in 2016 because we ignored how relentlessly unpopular Hilary Clinton was, Republicans spent decades smearing her every chance they got.
Biden just proved their claims about his mental fitness, if we ignore that by calling it optics, we'll lose.
