A summer of shaky debate performances morphed into an autumn dominated by his sons lucrative business interests in Ukraine. A lackluster fundraising quarter led to broken promises on the role of outside money in politics. Yet through it all, former Vice President Joe Biden has maintained a steady general election lead over President Trump.
A new Fox News poll shows Biden beating Trump by a healthy 12 points among registered voters, a wider margin than a month ago and the widest margin of any Democrat in the field. All this as the national debate over Hunter Biden is guaranteed to keep churning as long as impeachment is afoot.
Much like the marquee Hillary Clinton versus Rudy Giuliani match-up prognosticators predicted in the fall of 2007, the odds of a Biden-Trump showdown are diminishing as the former vice president's path to the nomination gets murkier by the day.
Why? Its not his advanced age or his sons foreign business activities, although neither issue is without peril. Its not his so-called moderate ideology, or the fact that his campaign is running on financial fumes.
Joe Biden has a Rudy Giuliani problem and its got nothing to do with Ukraine.
First, take a step back. Since the day he launched his campaign in April, Biden has grounded his entire candidacy on electability, with a dash of throwback to the golden Obama years. He argues he is the best equipped to make Trump a one-term proposition. Never mind that much of the rest of the field also beats Trump in national polls, albeit by tighter margins.
Biden has also struggled to articulate a discernible reason to support him. Electability does not make for a compelling long-term message. Its a process argument rather than a substantive one.

Wait, wasnt Butthole ORourke beating Trump in the polls?
What happened there?
Biden is not leading Trump Fake Polls Look at the turn out for Trump across the USA and look at the turn out for Biden this survey is a Joke.
Trump 2020
the golden Obama years?...............No bias there, Faux Snooze...................
All of these polls are completely useless and should not be given any credibility. Sampling rates, and questions can skew the results and be made to order.
Leading Trump in what?
A bunch of state races that are going to occur at the end of next year?
Doubt it.
The elitist, processing issues, grand-theft, girl-grooming, GROPER? A willing frontman/co-conspirator for the most evil administration in the history of the republic.
Those were Biden’s Golden Years, now he’s full shuffleboard and jello.
Biden is gonna wish he never got in the race at all..............
Trump could lose the popular vote by as much as 7% nationally and still win the White House.
I certainly believe that Joe Biden is ahead of Donald Trump. After all, the Mainstream Media polls tell me so.
Besides, at a recent Rose Garden press conference President Hillary Clinton vouched for the veracity and legitimacy of these polls.
Just a few minutes ago some chick on the radio said that Biden was ahead by 17 points and Warren by 11. Seriously? Who are they polling to get those nutty results?
Biden is not leading now. The people who run FNC must know that their polling is crap. Just one glance at the sampling breakdown and anyone can see it. So that being true what does that tell you?
Fox is just sucking up trying to get some Debates
Walter Mondale was ahead of Reagan 9 months before the election, too. We all know how that turned out...
Trump could lose the popular vote by as much as 7% nationally and still win the White House.
Exactly, I even heard 10 percent and just barely win the electoral college
We don’t elect presidents based on what California or New York want. That is why these polls are garbage and just a distraction.
Now when you look at the state by state maps, Trump is either creaming these guys or it is very close within a couple points either way. Close races this far out is not good for the Dems. And it shows a lot of undecides are out there and they usually break for the incumbent and definitely in a good/positive economy.
Liz Warren is going to have a tough time to convince all the union workers and corporate workers with good health care benefits to trade that in for medicare. Plus the tax increase that goes with it as well.

Good let the morons think they are winning, that way they won’t vote or donate
Biden won’t be the nominee. He’s definitely not as hale as Elizabeth Warren.
Mrs. Clinton was forecast to be 90-95% likely to win the 2016 election over Trump.
Even Predict it dot com had her favored by upwards of 80% days before the election.
Now we’re seeing the same propagandist full court press to sell us another lemon.
I’ll stick with Orange Man. I phrase it that way, because I’m not sure the rank and file democRat these days actually know what our president’s name is.
It’s likely to be Mayor Buttplug, who could be a challenge for Trump
