Even if he could prove that his debate performance was an outlier, he would remain a deeply unpopular president with a deeply unpopular record.
Most Americans don't seem to want a younger version of Biden, because age is only one of the president's problems. His other problem is that too many voters think his administration has been a failure.
If Biden does decide to step out of the race-which so far he insists he will not-the strongest replacement candidate will be one who can distance themselves from the White House's record.
But what Democratic insiders think of Biden's job performance won't matter much in November. What matters is what voters think, and they don't think Biden has done a very good job at all.
