The bounce is real! Thanks is a D+2 sample, which is close to what Gallup says the current electorate is, not some huge over sampling of democrats like in other polls.
Trump 48
Biden 45
Battleground states -
Trump 49
Biden 42
Voters top issue law and order
Overwhelmingly prefer all lives mattter, not black lives matter
And more!
Trump-et the news far and wide!
The trend is going towards Trump. Some of the Sunday shows are still saying how Biden is so far ahead in polls, but even they said the race is tightening.
I heard Biden is going to Minnesota to campaign. Minnesota has been one of the most reliably Democrat states in recent decades. If they are spending money and resources to defend Minnesota, that tells you something.
As the campaigns deploy resources, that will tell us a lot about where they think they need help.
Not being included on Real Clear Politics. All the other polls are strangely silent.
This is on top of the post-convention bounce he got after the Democrat cringe-vention (h/t to Steve Turley for that term).
Biden’s campaign also made a huge television advertising buy for Virginia starting in October. Think about that. Virginia should be solid dem with all the government workers. For him to spend needed cash late in the election in Virginia means it isn’t going to well, as this poll now shows! The media doesn’t want to news.
Dems have to really get the vote fraud apparatus going
I’d like to believe this, but Gallup has a weak reputation. I believe they had Romney over Obama by a big margin.
But, regardless of polls, I doubt that the American people will elect Biden. We can’t be that mindless.
Never underestimate the ignorance of the American public.
Obama served two terms.
To be fair, what else is the Biden campaign spending its money on? Certainly not rallies and the like which costs a lot of money to hold, in addition to the traveling expenses which are virtually nil right now. Even if they believed VA was in the bag, why not go for the juggler and be sure, particularly when it might impact down-ticket candidates?
Good point. If the Democrats see Virginia as being in play, those internal polls must be telling a very different story than all these polls showing Biden comfortably ahead.
Romney destroyed Obama in the first debate and could have won if he kept up the momentum and campaigned as tirelessly and as passionately as Trump. Plus Candy Crowley foiled the second debate for Romney.
Crap! I hate when I do that.
Side note: Trump would not have let Crowley get away with it as Romney did. Romney fights only against conservatives. That’s why Trump was elected and Romney was not.
As real as Trump!
Slow Joe will have to leave his fortified basement.
If it was 2024 maybe. But no way 2020. Only reason is people typically get sick of the party in charge after 8. But typically not 4.
Trump needs to be more than 5 points ahead all through the fall and election day. The Dems will start cheating early with mail in ballots and fraud and Trump will have to counter that with a strong lead and keep telling his supporters not to get complacent. There are so many ways the Dims can screw this - eg. multiple ballots sent to households where one or more registered voters no longer lives, ballot harvesting at nursing homes (Dem operative casts votes for Grandma), absentee or mail in ballots are opened in Dem controlled cities and Pub ones are discarded, voters on election day in Pub communities face demonstrators and “peaceful protesters” that dissuade them from voting, etc. Dem operatives are experts in this and some of my donations should go to party watchdogs to oversee fairness as much as possible.
Pollster Frank Luntz was on Fox this morning saying his nightmare scenario is that Trump wins on election night and then Thursday and Friday all the mail-in-ballots (both real and fraudulent) come in and change the winner to Biden.
They said the same thing about polls tightening right up until Reagan won 49 states.
