What NPR's poll says about the state of Biden's campaign

NPR  

What NPR's poll says about the state of Biden's campaign President Biden doubled down on his decision to stay in the presidential race at Thursday's press conference. KELLY: It was a solid performance, but Biden made some notable gaffs, like mixing up his vice president's name with Donald Trump. As I've said for a while, there's probably a majority of the country that doesn't want Trump to be president, but he still could win because of third parties and those who stay home. This one was trending that way, and the Biden campaign certainly wants to continue to make it a referendum on Trump, and this latest episode with the debate does threaten to make the election a referendum on Biden, which, by the way, it usually is for an incumbent who's running for reelection.
