As new cases of the coronavirus soar in much of the nation, a new national poll now shows Democratic challenger Joe Biden leading President Trump by 15 percentage points. The Quinnipiac University poll – which was conducted July 9-13 – shows the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee with 52 percent support among registered voters, with Trump at 37 percent support. BIDEN LEADS IN NEW SWING STATE POLL BUT MAJORITY SAY 'SECRET TRUMP VOTERS' COULD TILT ELECTION Biden’s lead is almost double the 8-point advantage he held in Quinnipiac’s previous survey, which was conducted in mid-June. And it tops...

CNN put out a new poll on Thursday that shows President Trump is crushing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in key battleground states — but the liberal “news” network downplayed that finding to the point of hilarity. “CNN Poll: Biden tops Trump nationwide, but battlegrounds tilt Trump,” said the headline.“Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s lead over President Donald Trump now stands at five points, but Trump has an edge in the critical battleground states that could decide the electoral college, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.“Could”? Uh, does. The popular vote across the country doesn’t matter. What decides...

...In the survey of over 8,000 swing and “persuadable” voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Iowa provided to Secrets this morning, 63% said that they approve of Trump’s handling of the crisis. Just 21% disapproved. And they appear to support his gradual shift from focusing on fighting the virus to also reopening the economy, as well as a reliance more on businesses than Washington to lead the way. “Swing voters are concerned about the impact of the coronavirus and generally approve of Trump’s handling of the crisis. Moreover, they are more concerned with health risks than the economy —...

ll eyes were on Bernie Sanders last night on the debate stage, and a common criticism he faced was over his electability. Mini Mike said “Bernie will lose to Donald Trump, and Donald Trump and the House and the Senate and some of the statehouses will all go red,” describing the situation as catastrophic. Pete Buttigieg blasted the cost of Sanders’ “free everything” policies, saying that the true cost adds up to “four more years of Donald Trump.” I agree – but you have to laugh at the lack of self-awareness among the other candidates if they actually believe they’re...

FULL TITLE: JUST IN: Fox News’ Trump Impeachment Poll By Former Regional Director For Hillary’s 2016 Campaign Was FAKE NEWS…New NPR/PBS Poll Proves It Polls are funny things, they’re very unpredictable, and the political leanings of the person or group performing the poll can have a lot to do with the outcome. Two days ago, The Gateway Pundit reported about the surprising recent Fox News poll that showed 51% of Americans favor impeaching President Trump over the Democrat’s latest manufactured Ukrainian phone call scandal.

If you’re President Donald Trump, you’re feeling pretty good. While polling hasn’t been your best friend, Mr. President, you should take note of the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. It nukes the core of the 2020 Democratic agenda. Two of the Left’s major pieces for their 2020 election goodie bag, Medicare for all, health care for illegals, and slave reparations, totally trashed. On the former, even minority voters aren’t sure about Medicare for all, with 46 percent saying it’s a good idea to 49 percent who disagree. As of now, more voters think that Democrats would take this country in the...

After polls completely missed the mark on Trump’s victory in 2016, polling data has been in the doghouse, but does that mean we should ignore all of it? Probably not, although that’s not to say we shouldn’t take many polls with a grain of salt. Overall, though, a good deal of polling is accurate if not just a snapshot in time and it would be reckless to proceed as if polls unfavorable to our candidate didn’t exist. Moreover, even if polls today turn out to be wrong on Election Day, they might still be instructive during the campaign and help...

With recent polls showing Joe Biden and other Democrats ahead of President Trump in 2020, Fox News host Martha MacCallum said the current administration has cause for concern. At least six Democratic presidential candidates would beat the president if the election was today, according to the latest Quinnipiac University survey. Although we're still a while away from that, MacCallum said during a Wednesday appearance on "America's Newsroom" that Trump's campaign should certainly take note of those numbers. "There is a big wake-up call here for President Trump in these numbers," MacCallum said.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was one of just two Democratic presidential candidates to receive zero support in a new poll. A Des Moines Register/Mediacom/CNN Iowa Poll asked 600 registered voters who are likely to participate in the 2020 Democratic caucuses who their first and second choices for president were, the Des Moines Register reported.

A CNN report says the poll, conducted by SSRS, finds 54 percent of people think that the president will win reelection, while 41 percent don’t think so.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg appears to be experiencing a national polling slump, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

Professional pollsters say the old way of conducting surveys is fading fast, but new methods might not be trusted and ready for next year. TORONTO — When veteran pollster Scott Keeter appeared at a recent gathering of industry professionals, he began his presentation with a somber caveat about the methods at the center of his life’s work. Telephone polling — for decades the backbone of efforts to measure public opinion and the subject of his new study — are in “wheezing condition,” Keeter told a roomful of colleagues. And experiments to prolong their use are akin to putting on “a...

It’s the second poll in three days to show Trump trailing Biden by 11 points, which is mega-landslide territory by the standards of presidential elections. But there are two differences between Wednesday’s poll and today’s. Wednesday’s was a poll of Pennsylvania. Today’s is a poll of the entire country. And Wednesday’s poll came from Quinnipiac. Today’s comes from … Fox News.Have we had any presidential tweets yet accusing Fox of being “fake news”? If anything’s going to do it, this will.It’s actually not the head-to-head number with Biden that’s most ominous for Trump here. Biden also performs best in...

What the hell? The commentariat had collectively decided that this week would be “Joe Biden Flop Sweat Week,” when he jumped into the race and his polls immediately began to crash when everyone was reminded that he’s a gaffe machine with all sorts of unabsolved sins against wokeness on his record.Instead it’s turning into “Bernie Sanders Flop Sweat Week.”In fact, I don’t know if the lead story from this Quinnipiac data is Biden’s big, bouncy lead or Bernie’s ominous fade into third place. Note the nonwhite column too, as that’s very much part of a trend and a not-so-secret...
