In my previous entry on this subject, my basic thesis was that all the Republicans need to do to win the White House in 2024 is nominate someone other than Donald Trump, hence to avoid a sideshow about January 6 and other flotsam from the past, and keep voters’ undivided attention on the clueless, flailing and massively unpopular incumbent administration.
For your last question, Steve Hayward has a plausible theory.
Regarding these polls. I’m still skeptical of the Times and their motive for writing such an article. The election is still months away so none of these public opinions matter; only the public’s opinion on Election Day matters. If inflation is peaking, I’d expect a full court press from the Times on the positive direction that the Biden admin is poised to lead our country if only those pesky republicans could be kept out of power.
This article is simply preparing the space for a narrative of a rapidly improving country by the time voters go to the polls this fall. I hope I’m wrong.
In any case, I appreciate this page and the thoughtful articles between you both
