Does Biden Have Positive Approval Rating Anywhere?

The most likable people who could run for the Presidency are also some of the more controversial ones, like AOC and Bernie. I would love to see it, but I don't think they have the national appeal to win the primary.

Honestly, I kind of envy the Republicans. They can run the most far right person in the entire country and still retain their "moderates" because those "moderates" still come out even when the candidate is someone who, based on what they claim they believe in, they should have never had any interest in voting for. If the Democrats tried nominating a "far left" person (to the extent that those even exist in American politics, which is not very far left at all), I fear the moderates would just stay home.

My biggest fear is that Biden steps down and endorses Kamala for the presidency. If she won the primary, we'd be essentially guaranteed a 2nd Trump term.

All depends if people like smart, well spoken people who don't play the gotcha game and don't have to lie and insult folks for hits.

Pete Buttigieg, for example, would have been my 2020 choice.

But, given republicans chomping at the bit to end gay marriage they probably wouldn't vote for him either.
