Joe Biden is suddenly polling a little better than Hillary. I didn’t see that coming.
Washington Post ^ | 8/21/15 | David Weigel

The Quinnipiac poll giveth; the Quinnipiac poll taketh away.

One month ago, when a batch of Q polls found Hillary Clinton struggling to beat Republicans in three states won by President Obama, I dismissed the calls for Vice President Biden to save the Democrats. "The vice president polls substantially worse against Republicans than Clinton does," I wrote.

And at the time, it was true. For most of his time in the Naval Observatory, Joe Biden has polled behind the president and his assumed successor for the Democratic nomination, weakened by — respectively — slightly lower support from black voters and slightly lower support from women.

Other reporters have had to settle for getting Donald Trump wrong. I've decided to zig where they zagged: I'm going to blow it on Biden.

Thursday's Q poll resets the narrative, with Biden polling slightly better against Republican candidates than Clinton in Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio. More importantly, he's got narrowly positive favorable numbers in each state. In each state, Clinton is deeply underwater, her unfavorables settled in above 50 percent.

While this may be true, do we have to worry about Biden? He has tried to run 2 or 3 times before, and couldn’t win. Having him would be like a 3rd term of Obama - God help us.

The truth of it is that the poweratti can “pull” the contest any way they want it to go. The trick is in getting them to make up their minds to make the switch.

Viola! [yes, I know that’s wrong, BTW] Biden Coronation comin’ up.

Biden is a five time loser and weakened by his own stupidity.

Right now, being in the race is the only thing keeping Hillary from being indicted, and she knows it. She is not bowing out. She’ll burn down the house if she’s challenged.

Laugh at him all you want, but don’t underestimate him. Americans chose him for VP twice.

It dawned on me this morning that if Joe Biden becomes President,
Valery Jarrett will get to stay in the White House and continue Obama's plan to destroy America.
Perhaps that's why Ol' Joe is saying just 4 years.
Because that is how long they need to finish the job.

Freudian (maybe Pavlovian) reaction on my part, my brain saw “Jeb Biden.”

I’d chalk the Clinton numbers up to the fact that she had a real bad August

Next, a real bad September.
