I think Biden himself has said as much - I could be wrong, but didn't he basically commit to being a one-term president?

I still remember watching the New York Times Probability Meter on Election night in 2016. Hillary had, I think, a 95% chance of winning at the beginning before the results started to pour in. Hour after after, that lead slowly dissipated, until - by the time I grew tired enough to go to bed, around 2am EST - Hillary had around a 1-2% chance of winning.

Do you trust the polls this time?
