‘NEVER TRUMP?’ ‘NEVER BIDEN’ VOTERS MIGHT LOOM LARGER.

Biden’s ceiling of support is actually lower than Trump’s right now. It’s a
stark reversal from 2020 — with major implications.

Certain Democrats trying to cope with President Biden’s continually
underwhelming 2024 poll numbers share an article of faith: the ceiling theory.

All Biden needs to do is rally allies who are unenthusiastic about him —
particularly young, Black and Hispanic voters — against Donald Trump. The former
president’s ceiling, after all, has proved to be low; he didn’t crack 47 percent
in either the 2016 or the 2020 election. And Biden has shown he can win a
majority of the popular vote.
