Haven't heard a whole lot from Ryan Lizza lately, so his analysis of Biden v. Clinton is refreshing and probably right on target.
... Isn’t Hillary Clinton’s campaign losing air? Isn’t she hobbled by scandal and suffering from dire approval ratings? Not really. Her approval rating with the overall electorate is fifty per cent unfavorable, forty-two per cent favorable. That’s not great, to be sure, but it is far better than most of the top Republican candidates for President. Biden’s numbers are only marginally better than hers: forty-two per cent unfavorable, forty-five per cent favorable. If he stepped into the race, and inevitably became the target of regular political attacks, his numbers would likely start to sink, just as hers have.
But at this stage, favorability ratings that include all voters are much less important than polls that only include Democrats. And Clinton remains dominant with that group. An aggregation of recent polls shows her with forty-nine per cent of the vote, to Biden’s thirteen per cent. ...Lizza,NewYorker
They both are so much more seasoned, intelligent and respectful of the voter than any of the Republican candidates who really do come across as crazies ... as clowns ... every damn one of 'em.
