A new poll conducted by the Washington based Democracy Institute for the Sunday Express shows President Trump tied with his rival Joe Biden at 47 percent, but surpassing him in the electoral college 309 to 229.
These positive results for Trump come amid a constant drumbeat of negative media coverage in recent weeks that paints his electoral chances in November as virtually nil.
According to the shock poll, Trump is on course to win the crucial swing states including Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where he outpolls Vice President Biden by 48 percent to 44 percent.
According to David Maddox, the political editor of the Sunday Express, the poll indicates that the Black Lives Matter riots have created a backlash that is helping Trump.
A new shock US poll for @DemocraticINST and #SundayExpress shows that the Black Lives Matter protests are boosting @realDonaldTrump chances of victory plus voters are worried about Biden's cognitive state amid concerns he has early signs of dementia https://t.co/VkXEIyurmhThe poll was conducted Jul 13, before the president went to the Mount Rushmore to make a speech that was very well received by most Americans, but furiously derided by Democrats and their allies in the corporate media.

In his speech, Trump blasted the cancel culture and the angry mobs who want to erase Americas history: There is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. Not gonna happen to us, the president said.

Given a choice between which phrases identified their views 71 percent chose all lives matter while 29 percent picked black lives matter.According to the poll, 76 percent of people said it made no difference to them whether of not Biden chose a black running mate.Meanwhile, with statues of presidents and other historic figures being attacked and pulled down across the US, 74 percent said they disapproved of the actions while 77 percent disagreed with the assertion supported by many Democrat politicians that Mount Rushmore with the faces of four US Presidents carved on it is racist.
The poll showed that 59 percent approved of the Presidents handling of the riots and protests but 40 percent want him to be tougher while 60 percent think Mr Biden has not been critical enough.
In addition, 67 percent prefer President Trumps law and order message compared to 29 percent who want black community relations improved with the police.
The poll also shows the president doing well with minority voters35 percent for black voters and 34 percent for Hispanics.
Worse still is Mr Bidens mental health after some stumbling performances and public concerns that he may be suffering from the early stages of dementia have also had an impact.Patrick Basham, the director of the Democracy Institute, said: Between now and Election Day, the factor that will most influence the final outcome will be the debates between President Trump and his Democratic opponent. Should Biden regain some of his past skill at coasting through such encounters with moderate, platitudinous comments delivered with a smile, a little humour, and an Everyman demeanour, he will retain a good chance of enjoying a very competitive election.According to the poll 55 percent believe he is suffering from cognitive problems and 44 percent say that it means they are less likely to vote for him while 58 percent think aged 77 he is too old to be President.
But, should Biden have even one senior moment during which he forgets what hes saying, or where he is, or the question posed to him, his chances of beating Trump will be somewhere between slim and none.Indeed, Bidens campaign has had the candidate on a short leash in recent months, only allowing him to participate in minor, scripted online events where he continues to struggle nonetheless.
Bidens apparent cognitive decline has likely contributed to the enthusiasm gap, that continues to benefit Trump, with 77 percent of Trump voters enthusiastic about voting for their candidate compared to only 43 percent of Biden voters.
The poll results suggest that President Trump has much more support than can be gleaned through polling because of this shy Trump voter effect. When asked whether they are comfortable with your relatives, friends, and coworkers knowing how you vote? only 29 percent of Trump supporters responded in the affirmative, while 82 percent of Biden voters said they were.
The majority of respondents [67 percent], saw Trump as a strong leader, while Biden ws seen as a consensus builder [55 percent], and more likeable [60 percent].

I was talking this over with the wife yesterday. Seems to me that the DNC KNOWS it is going to lose 2020 and have put up the sacrificial candidate. The one guy that post election failure, everyone on the DNC can point to and say that it was HIS fault.
That way, none of the others are damaged goods running in 2024.
Good Idea.
With today’s digital printing hardware, one could fairly easily build a truck to do drive by MAGA “muraling” on the fly.
Shocking to who? Delusional dems?
Of course Trump is going to win again.
They have no idea how pissed off America is at the immoral puke left.
Trump wins MN and we’re gonna have a great night.

Ive yet to see a single Biden yard sign or bumper sticker in this deep blue state Im in. I have, however, seen Trump 2020 signs.
“while 60 percent think Mr Biden has not been critical enough. “
Biden has done NOTHING nor said ANYTHING (that made sense) so how do they even establish an opinion on him?
The MSM is going out of their minds trying to gaslight the public.
No way in hell was Joe the Sniffer ever going to beat Trump. But, the liberal phony polls was/is their way of consoling themselves before the nightmare in November happens, where Trump annihilates Biden and democrats all over the country fill the sewers with their tears.
The phony polls is their way of trying to make the impossible happen.
Excellent campaign meme
