Like I said, we can nitpick this specific voters' choice of "wins" and how they are measured... ... but the crux of their argument is indisputable: "The President has a JOB to do, and I'm gonna hire a motherfucker that can get that job DONE." They then get to cherry pick all the wins and claim he is "doing the job" and completely ignore the moronic rallies and self-aggrandizing posturing on Twitter, etc. Because that's irrelevant. That's the show. The WORK is actually getting done. (In their estimation.) Hence why Biden is so lacking for them; he doesn't have a business plan that is easy to pitch and he doesn't have the "killer" instinct that a "business man" has, as opposed to a life-long politician who waffles and negotiates and compromises and is largely ineffectual in the end. This is an aspect of the Conservative Story that I can understand, and wrap my head around, and it makes sense why they excuse all of Trump's personal failures.
He doesn't appeal to white, and especially white male, fragility and ego. It's that simple.Hence why Biden is so lacking for them; he doesn't have a business plan that is easy to pitch and he doesn't have the "killer" instinct that a "business man" has, as opposed to a life-long politician who waffles and negotiates and compromises and is largely ineffectual in the end.

Exit Polls if you believe them, actually say exactly the opposite. The fragile white male ego was actually the biggest looser for trump. This is based off previous performance ofcourse in aggregate republicans don’t do well with minorities but he’s made progress rather unexpectedly
The last two elections have shown that “everything is made up, and the polls don’t matter”! (Cue Drew Carey)
I think you're right to be skeptical of polls that show that, e.g. Trump Is Losing Ground With White Voters. But what then is your evidence for concluding that Biden doesn't appeal to white male voters?
I’m also skeptical of Nate Silver at this point!
