The biggest mistake that politicians and pundits make when they try to discern the direction of a presidential race is that they read a single poll and think it’s definitional. But “of the 10 most recent polls listed on Real Clear Politics, as of December 29, Biden was leading in three of them and tied in two others,” national affairs correspondent John Nichols reports.

There’s no reason to celebrate yet, but if the incumbent continues to focus on the economy and other issues people care about right now, “there’s a compelling case Biden’s polling position will improve as the 2024 race unfolds.” Now—let’s see how his first campaign event of the year goes.
