Opinion status of presidential candidates.
At the risk of disturbing your calm I made this table of the latest unapproved vs approved adult opinion status of the two presidential candidates.
Percent unfavorable or favorable opinion
| Biden | Trump | |
|---|---|---|
| Unfavorable | 55.4 | 53.7 |
| Favorable | 39.9 | 41.6 |
The candidates are running neck to neck as majority unfavorable or minority favorable candidates, based on their Unfavorable (> 50%) and Favorable (< 50%) ratings.
The great political economist, Gordon Tullock argued that you should not vote, just because you were told you should in school, for your vote cannot change the outcome. To this we have added the above evidence that neither candidate is desired, and both are undesired by the electorate and hence neither is worth voting for anyway.
Yet, we somehow muddle through and people all over the world want to leave where they are to come here and take part in this haven of freedom.
