Latest poll: Trump, Haley and DeSantis all have at least a slight national edge on President Biden

I wish, I wish, I wish that stories that highlighted "Which candidate is more likely to end the country as we know it, in favor of a neo-fascist hellscape?" were as common as "Which candidate is leading among horribly propaganda-victimized voters?"

I can take some small solace in thinking that the subtext is that even the Republican voters are starting to figure out that Trump and DeSantis are monsters, rather than this being because of anything good about Nikki Haley. But it is cold comfort.

Please no

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In fact, as the GOP presidential nomination kicks off, Trump, Haley and DeSantis all have at least a slight national edge on President Biden right now, were they to emerge as his challenger.

(Haley and DeSantis have tougher roads to get that chance, of course, since they trail Trump substantially in the race for the nomination.)

Haley runs even with Mr. Biden on some key traits: she polls about even among those looking for a president who shows empathy and is open to compromise — qualities that large majorities of voters say is important to them.

Over a third of voters think Mr. Biden's policies would favor racial minorities over White Americans, and nine in 10 of them are backing Trump.

And while Biden has made recent attempts to argue that a second Trump term would be a threat to democracy, that isn't the main concern for much of the electorate.

When asked to compare the two, half of likely voters say having a strong economy is a bigger concern for them than having a functioning democracy — including a third of Democrats.
