To hear pundits tell it, the 2024 presidential contest is shaping up like an Alabama vs. Texas football game. That is, one in which most people wish both teams could lose. (Substitute your own two least favorite teams if you like.) Right now, people tell pollsters they dislike both putative nominees — Donald Trump and Joe Biden — in equal numbers.
According to polling averages compiled by Real Clear Politics, both candidates hover around 40% positive and 55% negative, with Trump a couple of points worse.
