Poll: Trump gains among independents against Biden, Warren
The Hill ^ | 10/7/2019 | JULIA MANCHESTER

Posted on 10/08/2019 3:43:44 AM PDT by grayboots

President Trump is gaining among independent voters in head-to-head matchups with the Democratic presidential front-runners, according to a new IBD-TIPP poll.

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads Trump by just 1 point among independents, which is down from Biden's 18-point lead among the voting group in September.

In a head-to-head matchup with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), 49 percent of independents backed Trump, while 43 percent threw their support behind the senator in the poll, which was released on Monday.

A 4-point gap separated Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Trump, with the president receiving 48 percent support among independents and Sanders garnering 44 percent.

Warren led Trump with independents by 2 points in the September poll, while Sanders led the president by 9 points.

The new poll comes as tensions between Trump and Biden have risen on the campaign trail as the president has intensified his attacks against the former vice president, accusing Biden of efforts to pressure Ukraine to dismiss a senior prosecutor who at one point had investigated an energy company where Biden's son had served as a board member.

There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor's removal as a means of protecting his son.

Independent voters will likely play an impactful role in the 2020 general election. Forty-three percent of voters who said they identified as independent said they voted for Trump in 2016, while 42 percent went for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the Pew Research Center.

The IBD-TIPP poll was conducted from Sept. 26 to Oct. 3 among 900 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

Six point lead among independents for Trump. That’s more than 2016 against Clinton.

We need more whistle-blowers, anonymous whistle-blowers and more breathless chiron alerts on Fox..yes that will get people in Michigan , PA, Wis and North Carolina to vote for a squincked face tw*t like Warren. The left is delusional. They will be forced to vote on impeachment, the pressure is mounting, they can’t keep this circus growing. Americans are a decent and fair minded people and they see a con job here. They also hold sacrosanct the ability fo a person to face their accusers. Democrats are getting too cute here and even in liberal polls it’s mattering.

Yep, there's enough decent people to become a majority.

> Except for the video where Biden explicitly admits it.

Watch the weasel wording. There’s no evidence that the reason he advocated for the prosecutor’s removal was as a means of protecting his son. Obvious conflict of interest, yes. Hard, cold evidence... well, that’s what Trump wanted the Ukrainians to see if they could find.

In normal times, Republicans do better with registered voters than adults. However, with Trump, I am not so sure.

Will impeachment battle continue?

It's the old African folk tale of the tar baby. They've got all four paws stuck to it now and there is no way to extricate themselves.

That’s a smokin’ push poll for the president.

He will beat the Dems like a drum in November of 2020.

the deepstate is taking out the non-neocon dems just as surely as they are going after President Trump, make no mistake.

Only a fellow demonic such as hillary or a bush is acceptable to their plan.

“There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor’s removal as a means of protecting his son.”

That appears to be a running media theme now. I hear on the radio all the time..."The President said X about Biden, but didn't present any evidence..."

“There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor’s removal as a means of protecting his son.”

Are you calling Quid Pro Joe’s own claim he blackmailed the Ukrainian government into stopping the investigation into the company who gave his son a no-show job a lie, Julia?

“Affidavit From Ukrainian Prosecutor Says Joe Biden Wanted Him Out Over Burisma Investigation”

I know about that and I know about the transcript of the call.

Some must think there are interpretations of those things that don’t implicate Biden. Or ... or ... or ... they’re lying on Biden’s behalf.

There is another option. All of these polls are made up so they can tell a story and keep people reading their drivel

In the early days of TV there was a science fiction series with a name something like "The Flying Disk Man from Mars."

In one episode a character is accused of something really nefarious (like collaborating with the Nazs). The accused man's response is: "You can't prove that!"

There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor's removal as a means of protecting his son. What does that mean?

Firing the prosecutor to protect his son from getting entangled in a corruption probe is different than protecting getting rid of the prosecutor and derailing the investigation to protect his son's paychecks.

That’s the point of the investigation isn’t it? To find evidence
