Polls like this aren’t really useful. We’re 12 months out from the election. In political terms, it might as well be a decade. Now, if this is the case in August or September of next year, then I’ll worry.
and just think of all that can, or wont happen between now and then. we dont even know if this guy will be allowed on state ballots.
Two big things stand out in this poll to me:
Trump and Biden are effectively tied among voters under 30 — a large shift from 2020.
A generic, unnamed Democrat fares even better with an 8-point lead over Trump — a 13-point swing from Biden.
I think those points are probably related, with younger voters not necessarily shifting to the right, but just being fed up with Biden.

Quick, someone should ask President Dukakis how he felt about the polls, putting him 15 points up on George H.W. Bush in the summer of '88.
Alternate source here:
I love that the primary complaint is “Biden is too old.”
Biden was born in '42.
Trump was born in '46.There’s not a lot of daylight there. But I guess they see a 78 year old as electable and 82 as not. Cutoff at 80? If elected, Trump will turn 80 two years in.
What will Trump supporters use as their excuse if he loses in '24 and tries again in '28 at the same age Biden was in '24?
Reagan was born in 1911, so for 1980 he was 69 and 1984 he was 73. 77 when he left office and people felt that was too old.
