Does it square with actual election results where Democrats have shown overwhelming support for Joe Biden and no interest in his challengers?"

---------------

"Squaring with actual election results" is more or less asserting Biden's popularity could not have really suffered that much, so the poll is suspect.

Another way to look at it is, the optimism at the outset of the Biden Admin in 2020 has been displaced by disappointment after 3+ years of the Biden Admin.
