Donald Trump In US Election Polls Surge As Voters Trust Him To Revive Covid-19 Hit Economy
express.co.uk ^ | Aug 1, 2020

The third in a series of monthly Democracy Institute/ Sunday Express polls has given President Trump a surprise lead over his Democrat rival of 48 percent to 46 percent, his clearest lead yet.

Crucially, President Trump has a lead of 48 percent to 43 percent in the swing states Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin which would put him back in the White House with an electoral college tally of 309 to Biden’s 229.

Specifically, in Florida Trump has a 47 to 45 point lead, Minnesota (where the black lives matters protests began) a 46/45 lead, and New Hampshire a 46/43 lead.

The polling suggests Mr Trump is emerging as the race leader because of a belief he is best in handling the economy.

With a third of voters putting the economy as the top election issue and 66 percent thinking that the economy is bouncing back after coronavirus, voters believe that Trump is better for the economy by 57 percent to 43 percent.

Writing for the Sunday Express, Director of the Democracy Institute Patrick Basham suggested that the Biden campaign may have “reached its high water mark”.

He said: “Although Biden remains in a competitive race with Donald Trump, and may well do so until election day, his support isn’t growing. And, tellingly, almost all of the issues that matter most to voters are trending in President Trump’s favour.

All polls are flawed, and but snapshots in time at their best.

Susan Rice could be offered by the left as a “moderate”.

She’s not overtly embroiled with BLM and has national security “credentials”.

While that may not fool any of us, it will fool some.

but none of the black women prominently talked about would help bring moderate or swing voters to the Democrat ticket.

Susan Rice might. Just an opinion.

Susan Rice would be fine if the candidate were, say, Liz Warren. But this dog just won’t hunt. He needs Condi Rice (you heard it here first) to have any gravitas and get the Never Trumpers excited.

one week..for a bank 4 blocks away..imagine how long it would take ballots to arrive, and be counted, a year? more maybe
................................................
Here’s how the post office handles mail here in western Maryland. If I send a utility bill to the County office building 10 miles away, that bill is first sent from the local post office to Baltimore 150 miles away. From there it is sent back to the local post office for delivery to the County’s office. The perfect set-up for rampant Democrat Party fraud! I would conjecture that Trump will receive no more than 10% of the mail-in ballots, so if this scam is allowed to proceed TRUMP=TOAST!

Sounds similar to the way it works here. I asked the lady at the bank how come it took one week to receive something when we are only mere blocks from each other, she said because its a prepaid envelope, when its prepaid apparently it goes to another location first then eventually makes it back to LA and to the bank so it can take up to a week, maybe longer..so imagine, someone gets hold of the ballot, reads it, oh you voted for Trump, well into the trash can you go

Ever since the Kenyan Fraud was illegally elected in ‘08, journalism and journalism schools throughout the country have become the laughingstock of the literati all over the world!

We’ve seen several positive polls in the last few weeks.

Sure would love to see some of the major polling outfits start showing a similar trend.

I know they can’t be trusted, but it sure would be nice to see them all moving in our direction.

dems will be concocting a third major national crisis for Trump before the election.

Time for another impeachment?

Their plan is steal the election with vote-by-mail fraud.

With a *MASSIVE* dose of voter intimidation via riots and personal attacks. By the time authorities get it under control (if they do), the DEMs will be in charge and the criminals will not be charged.

The democrats will now use the changing polls to reveal who their real candidate is going to be. And it’s not Joe.

The Biden & Trump campaigns trust polls, but they are polls we don’t get to see... BTW, saw a new Trump ad tonight (here in Pittsburgh, PA area) about Biden wanting to ban fracking.

No, I don’t have faith in the American people. All I have to do is point to Obama’s two election wins. That is all one needs to know.

Greetings Sarah...

Like many others, I have chosen to limit my in-person interactions because of this China Virus thing. It drives me bonkers! LOL...

Banking is low on hassle scale on something that I have had to modify in any way. Most banks over the last several years have implemented on-line deposits of physical checks that I receive via mail. Some banks do this using an app and others do it on the bank’s secure website.

It’s pretty easy. You endorse the check as usual then photograph the front and back of the check with your smart phone. Last step is to confirm everything is okay then the deposit is implemented. I get text notification within seconds to minutes that the deposit is received. In 30 minutes to 8 hours I get a text message that the deposit is approved. Approved means that the $$$ are available for use in your account.

This on-line banking function is pretty easy to use. No fooling, it’s taken me longer to peck this out on my IPhone than to deposit my physical checks. It might be easiest to just phone your bank’s toll free line and ask your them if they use an app or their secure website for deposits.

Cheers...

I still say Trump will get back in because of these 3 words: LAW AND ORDER.

I don’t think this poll skews liberal. The Sunday Express seems to be right of center.
