This confirms it...... he's done!

Pretty large number. Also sounds like a good number of independent voters want someone other than Trump to vote for.

All that the communist DP can run in is fear and lies.

Jill will not give up on her reelection quest!

[TornadoAlley3]

Biden is the most far left progressive loon they have. It’s a good thing if he goes.

[Roadrunner383]

Another factor, a huge factor, is that Republican voters are much more enthusiastic than Dem voters.

And this was before the debate.

Just based on the enthusiasm factor, there were pollsters saying Trump would have an advantage regardless of the poll numbers (again, this was before the debate).

With Biden crashing and burning, Dems are going to have a heck of a time just getting Dems to turn out to vote. If the Independents swing to Trump in big numbers, it will be landslide.

Conservatives be careful of that poll, when combined with events that have not happened yet. All those “independents” maybe need is just any well known Dim leader besides Biden, and should the DNC arrange that, those “independent” voters may be happy with that.

[TexasFreeper2009]

wanting him to drop out and voting for Trump are two different things.

[Grampa Dave]

Age Reality can be a quick and painful end for a politician or any of us!

Wave Bye/Bye, America to the awful Bidens!

[falcon99]

Poll tells me they weren’t really independents.

[Vaduz]

If Jill redecorates his basement like the oval office he’ll never know the difference it will keep him happy and quiet.

Independents = mostly voters who pretend to be independent but will vote Democrat 90% of the time. Prove me wrong.

[imardmd1]

Why do they want to dump Biden? All they have to do is to vote for soeone else.

Who are "they" and who is "their voice," eh? Sort of puzzling to me. Independents are just people not identifying with nor participating in any organized effort AFIK.

How can the medidiots claim to "know" what precisely a broad spectrum of opinions wants?
