- 538 Senior Elections Analyst Nathaniel Rakich discusses what can be done to consolidate the Democratic vote behind President Joe Biden.
Three months ago, as the presidential primaries were getting underway, President Joe Biden was trailing former President Donald Trump in the polls nationally and in battleground states, and concerns about his age were coming to the fore. The optimistic view for Biden was that once the presidential primaries were over, and it became clear that the choice was a 2020 rematch, the polls would move in his direction. But the polls have changed little. In fact, a new set of battleground polls from The New York Times/Siena College shows Biden trailing in all but one of the battleground states, with a lead for Trump as high as 12 points in Nevada.
In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew asks why the end of the primaries, weeks of Biden campaigning and millions spent on advertising have changed the polls little. They also preview Tuesday's primaries in Maryland and West Virginia, in particular a very competitive Democratic Senate primary in Maryland.

I recommend unsubscribing so they get the message you aren’t interested in the short form content. I love them but until they return to long form I have no interest in watching them. Unsubscribing kills their metrics.
Could you guys at LEAST explain this move towards teasers and "watch the full podcast here" to us? Like, a video explaining the shift would have gone a long way towards preserving good faith.
Seriously, what the hell!?
They don't care about or respect their audience.
The reason, as we all guessed, is money. It's a lot easier to earn $$$ with a smaller audience on a podcast than youtube videos. It's like night and day. That's why you see so many people starting podcasts.
Sad to see a switch away from full length CZcams videos. :(
Bring back the video podcasts
Full-length again please!
Please go back to long form serious discussions
I HATE this format. I could not find the corresponding podcast on Apple podcast. Why are you destroying your stuff like this?
Consolidated will happen because trump is so terrible. I’d rather vote for a rock than him.
He needs to not be such a shitty president.
Please go back to long form serious discussions
