Romney got 47% and lost. I'm well aware of the exceptions.
One of my former wives told me to just at least look for a little optimism, so here goes...
I think you could make an argument this might be “rock bottom” for a Democratic campaign given the media narrative over the past week.

It's a parliament, so they vote for local representatives who in turn vote for national leaders.
I may be 100% wrong, but this feels like a leak that’s meant to buy time.
Pure speculation, but I could see them asking Democrats to withhold judgment on calling for him to withdraw just for a short time in order to give him a chance to change the perception.
And stories like this are a way to signal to the rest of the party to hold their fire … for now.
The centrist and left-wing parties have agreed to drop their candidates in districts where either’s candidates may split the vote in favor of the far-right. It would be like the independent candidates that take votes from Biden drop out to give him better margins.

"But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.”
