Respondents to every single poll we’ve seen this week that has asked some variation of the question of “who do you expect to win Thursday night’s debate” has found that more respondents think convicted felon former President Trump will win over actual real President Joe Biden. The Economist and YouGov found Trump 40 percent to Biden 30 percent. Leger and the New York Post found Trump 42 to Biden 29 percent. The New York Times and Sienna asked it in two separate questions of how respondents expect each to perform, with 60 percent saying they think Trump will perform very or somewhat well compared to just 46 percent to Biden. Morning Consult has it closer at Trump 44 to Biden 41. The Daily Mail has it not close, at Trump 50 to Biden 39 percent.

We probably missed at least several more. Doubt they’d say anything different about this obvious underestimation of Joe Biden. We need not relitigate the utter insanity of the MAGA media’s deranged pregame coverage to tell you this is exactly what they don’t want people to think going in.

Or that it’s the same shit from four years ago. Remember the screams about Biden secretly wearing an earpiece? Thursday’s showdown may or may not end up moving the needle in favor of Joe Biden but it’s plain that Team Orange know that it’s at the very least fraught with the potential to do so by putting the contrasts right there in high definition right in front of the idiots who responded to these surveys, people who are under impressions such as that Biden will forget where he is, like 49 percent of the Daily Mail’s sample. “Voters expect a domineering performance from his Republican rival, and overwhelming expect him to emerge the winner,” writes the shitty British tabloid.

One American however seems less than confident Thursday morning, posting “JOE BIDEN IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, AND A THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL AND EXISTENCE OF OUR COUNTRY ITSELF!!!” and “Biden’s policies are a NIGHTMARE FOR WOMEN when it comes to the Border and Immigration!” with just 10 hours to go before the showdown that all his fans think he’ll win.
