When people complain about how this "Joe has to go" furor is a pundit/media led distraction they may not have Sarah's focus groups in mind, but it's all part of the same BS.
I volunteer 5 days a week in one of the swingiest districts in one of the swingiest states and I answer the phones for many hours per week. I get 2 kinds of calls from concerned voters and I speak to each one, often at length: From those who think Joe must go, which largely come from people who identify as Democrats and/or Biden supporters but say that they will vote for Trump (or occasionally RFK, JR) instead and whose reasoning is largely based on incorrect information or barely concealed "isms," mostly against immigrants. IOW they were only nominally in Joe's camp to begin with.
The other calls come from Joe supporters, a few of whom base their position on the "realpolitik" judgment that only Joe can beat Trump or that it's too late to make a change but MOST OF WHOM support Joe because they think he is the BEST candidate. All of them refer to his record and his fundamental integrity; sometimes they refer to him as a "good person."
I'll put my randoms up against your scientifically selected panels any day, Sarah.
