Mr Do Nothing allegedly leading vs a proven track record of success incumbent..

I guess “ folks” don’t remember how shovel ready jobs never materialized.

That was another of the promise everything deliver nothing administration that Joey was a big part of...

No one. The Commie media just report what advances the agenda.

Polls at this point in time are practically useless.

Beware of what they show, in that they may be easily manipulated and broadcast for effect and not information.

Let’s take a look at an example.

Let’s say that one question is:

Do you think Trump is handling the COVID-19 crisis properly?

Well, almost guaranteed, 35-40% (or more, usually over-sampled) of the respondents are Democrats and will say NO!

Then, about the same number, 35-40%, of Republicans (Or less, usually UNDER-Sampled) will say YES!

That’s 20-30%, of the remaining people being ‘Independents’ or no party affiliation given. The ‘Mushy Middle’.

Of those, the split will usually be a mirror of the Dem/Rep numbers, and will determine the overall ‘lean’ of the poll.

If the majority of the remaining 20-30% think Trump is NOT DOING ENOUGH, they will say NO and be added to the ‘NO’ votes who think he is doing TOO MUCH!

So polls are typically useless this far out from the General.

Just ask Hilliary.......................

Do conservatives ever bother to participate in polls, given their phony nature and deliberate skewing?
