Among independents it’s 65 Biden 35 Trump.
Are those absolute numbers of independents or a percentage?

This should scare the living shit out of democrats because it proves beyond all doubt that polls are worthless.

Well, we all know who would post that poll here as quickly as he could without questioning its validity at all if the results would be reversed.

Eh, I would probably agree. I think Joe has a smart politician's respect. It's just baked in. Trump is much more nuanced. I think he is quite "patriotic" and caring about the military. He also is much more careful with them where Joe would be more likely to use them as cannon fodder to achieve political ends. For Trump it might really just come down to him viewing war as a waste of resources. But definitely Trump also thinks so highly of himself that he has little respect for the generals. I think he can simultaneously hold a position of respect for service and sacrifice while at the same time not understanding why people would serve and sacrifice.

You used "Trump" and "nuanced" in the same sentence.
I don't know whether to applaud or laugh.
