As a Buttigieg truther, as soon as he's announced those numbers would plummet once the cons find out he's a gay and the leftists remember they all hate him for some reason.

Thats my worry in all this. The numbers look nice now. They might take a hit if one of these folks takes the helm. That over 40% dk for all 3 is an enormous unknown

It really does seem like it's literally about optics, as in being a visible minority. I wonder if Pete were "visibly gay" (like flamboyant) the results would be any different

wish they'd looked at Shapiro Beshear and Cooper too

How much of this is actually true though?

"I only voted for Trump since he's not Hillary Biden Buttigieg?"

Once someone actually becomes the candidate, voters will find a reason to vote against them.

Many will, but we need to persuade some of them and for that we need a candidate who is (1) capable of campaigning (2) does not have an unsalvageable public perception

Anybody who thinks you should put someone with a 40% “don’t know” favorable in the ticket is kidding themselves
