A new poll released by NBC claims it found that Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is leading President Donald Trump by a whopping 14 points.
According to NBC News, this is a post-debate poll that has the calm and cool Biden pulling ahead of that dastardly, bloviating Trump for his biggest lead since July:
Biden is now ahead of Trump by 14 points among registered voters, 53 percent to 39 percent — up from his 8-point lead in the previous poll, before the debate.
The 14-point advantage represents Biden’s largest lead in the NBC News/WSJ poll during the entire campaign; his previous high was 11 points in July.
Left out of this article was the fact that they greatly oversampled Democrats in this poll with a nine-point difference, including independents who lean one way or another, but judging by the nature of the polling, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that they garnered the information from areas that are bluer than Violet Beauregarde post-Wonka factory visit.
This information is left out of almost every report on the poll from other news sites that I came across as well.
The poll is hot garbage and NBC knows it. It’s likely that many of the outlets reporting on it know it too, but they’re going to report this “good news” regardless.
If I polled people outside of a cat convention about whether they preferred cats or dogs, it’s likely that I’m going to come across far more cat people than dog people. I cannot then take the results and declare that all of America likes cats more than our K-9 companions. It’s a lopsided poll that effectively puts dog lovers in a position to be underrepresented.
That’s exactly what NBC did, and I can’t help but think it was on purpose.
Judging by what I’ve seen in the media and political circles by Democrats as of late, this poll’s usefulness will come in handy after the election, not during.
As Hillary Clinton said not long ago, Biden should not concede the election under any circumstances. Judging by the political kerfuffle surrounding the supposed attacks by Trump on our post office while they simultaneously push the easily fraudulent vote-by-mail tactic, it’s not hard to see that they’re setting up to do exactly what Clinton suggested.
Rejecting the election results at all costs can’t just happen in a vacuum. There needs to be “evidence” that Trump’s reelection was illegitimate. With the “attack” on the post-office making it seem like Trump interfered with the vote-by-mail process we have the “how.” Now, with this NBC poll, Democrats have the “why.”
They can now say Biden was so popular and that Trump winning doesn’t make any sense unless he cheated.
Normally, I would say this seems a bit on the tinfoil hat side of things but the fact that Democrats are openly cheering on the idea of rejecting the decision made by the American people makes this idea entirely plausible, if not probable. Democrats have been trying every dirty trick in the book to get Trump out, and purposefully oversampling Democrats in a poll to make it seem like Biden is far more popular than he actually is well-within bounds for the left.
We may see even more polls from various networks doing the same thing in the coming days. You’re going to see a lot of claims that Biden is wildly more popular than Trump with every poll having sampled Democrats by a much larger margin than Republicans. You’ll see it begin the development of a narrative that, once Trump wins, will be the central point of the Democrats’ rejection of the election results.

How far away is ‘here’ from Austin, San Antonio, Houston, or Dallas?
Cities are Democrat...
RE: Does anyone really think Biden is going to draw more women, black or hispanic votes than Hillary?
The answer is NO of course. But Mail-in Voting is the wild card in 2020. If it were a fair election,Trump wins hands down. But Will this election be fair?
“Only in our area”.
So “Here in Texas” doesn’t apply to the whole state, only your area.
I live within 3 miles of Netflix HQ. Only a few Biden signs and bumper stickers. Hillary! had many more. Nevertheless, the same people will vote for Biden 3-1.
Every few months I love to watch the 30 minute video of the so-called Young Turks on Election Night 2016. They actually quote the NY Times 90% certainty that Billary will win. Then, as the night progresses, it is sooo precious.
-1000’s and 1000’s of people go out to trump rallies,
-Trump has done more for this country than the last 5 presidents combined,

-Trump has brought back a ton of companies to this country
-Trump’s foreign deals have been colossal breakthroughs
-Trump has revamped the VA in a huge manner

-Etc Etc Etc
-Biden is lucky to get 20 people to show up at his rallies,
-Biden has done nothing for this country ever, except ruin it
-Biden wants to tax the crap out of everyone
-Biden is involved in possible foreign dirty dealings through his son
-Biden is a racist- over and over again
-Biden sexually molested women
-Biden is losing his mind
And biden is ‘winning’ in the polls? Yeah right!
NBC/WSJ got almost identical results in their 2016 poll one month before the election. Only difference is at least in that one they polled Likely Voters. In this year’s version it was just Registered Voters.
Needless to say it was a gigantic fail.
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl 10/8 - 10/9 447 LV 52 38 Clinton +14
.
Someone on Fox was pushing this this 14 point Biden lead today.
“That Garbage NBC Poll Showing Biden up by 14 Points Is Likely Part of a Larger Plan Against Trump”
probably not even a real poll: probably just changed the name from “hillary” to “biden” on their 2016 poll:
“Clinton Holds 11-Point National Lead Over Trump: NBC/WSJ Poll”:
“Why do they even bother to ask people? It would be so much easier to simply make up the numbers out of thin air.”
************************************************************
By golly. I think you’ve almost caught on.
Rush pointed out today that Hillary was up by similar numbers 4 years ago in that same poll so it really means nothing.
BTW I took a poll today of 40 likely voters at work and other places I visited today and Trump won 90% to 5% - with 5% refusing to answer. And yes we live in a very conservative area. :)
And sadly my poll was probably just as scientific as the WSJ one.
No there arent
So a total of 10 then?
What he said was absurd. Unless hes counting a 5 square mile area around UT Austin.
Also weve seen on home security cameras that people ( masked young high school or college aged kids) are stealing Trump yard signs. Thats annoying
More Bernie stickers than Biden ones in the East Bay.
In 2016, I was polled at least once a week, and often more times.
This year???
EXACTLY 2 calls.
