A new national poll points to an extremely close contest between President Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden as the race for the White House shifts to a likely general election battle between the two.
According to the poll, the president enjoys a nearly 2-to-1 margin over Biden in the 2,500 solidly red counties that Trump overwhelming won four years ago over 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In the 360 solidly blue counties where Clinton crushed Trump, Biden is up by a 2-to-1 margin. But in the approximately 300 swing counties where the margins in the 2016 presidential election were 10 points or less, Biden tops Trump 50-41 percent.
“The race looks tight right now between Trump and the probable Democratic nominee. But as we learned in 2016, the outcome will be determined by the Electoral College rather than the national popular vote. The poll results suggest Biden may actually be starting out with an advantage in crucial swing areas of the country,” Monmouth University Polling Institute Director Patrick Murray said in a statement.
THE LATEST FROM FOX NEWS ON THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
As expected, there’s a wide partisan divide, with Democrats backing Biden 89-6 percent and Republicans behind the president 90-7 percent. Independents are nearly dead even, with 45 percent for Trump and 44 percent for the former vice president.
Biden leads 56-34 percent among voters under age 35, Trump has a 53-40 lead among those 35 to 54 and Biden has a slight 4-point advantage among voters 55 and older.

If not, why do we have "schools"? To what are they acclimating their "students"? For what purpose are we conducting "elections" (= the ability to sensibly choose) if the outcomes are predetermined by a secret group of ring-leaders?
Another BS pole prepping for the big election theft by the establishment
Did they decide on voting by mail already? That’s the only way Hillary/Biden can win.
Joe Biden is a Jabroni. A designated loser.
764 New Yorkers...……..
What a joke is right!
Well, President Hillary Clinton agree with the methodology...
How is that even slightly possible?
Since the 'sample' was from the entire country, then at least 80 of the 750 people were in kalifornikator, which skews it before it starts.
This poll is worse than pixie dust, it is so fake, that I'm done.
Joe needs to keep releasing those COVID-19 videos, complete with the signal to the teleprompter operator to keep rolling so he will have something to say. A few more of those, and the polls will be Trump, 70-30 by next week.
I keep hearing talk about a draft “Cuomo/Newsome” movement at the Democrat convention. They’d better come up with some kind of back-up plan; Senile Joe was out of sight for eight days and that laughably bad video was the best he could come up with.
Someone should tell Chuck and Nancy to keep delaying the virus assistance bill, too. Makes it easier for GOP to retake the house and expand their Senate majority.
Gosh it would be awful pleasin’
To reason out the reason
For things I can’t explain.
Then perhaps I’ll deserva ya
And be even worthy ‘erv ya
If I only had a brain!
See the Wizard slow Joe.
Not since liberals took over key spots at FoxNews...
LOL Biden doesnt even know his own name..he doesnt stand a chance
Wrong!! There must FIRST be a Constitutional Amendment requiring 3/4 (38) of the States to approve of any change in the Constitution. But before that can even happen it would take 2/3 of the States to even agree to hold a Constitutional Convention (Don't hold your breath for this to happen)
"In the next presidential election after adoption by the requisite number of states (IOW a Constitutional Amendment), the participating states would award all of their electoral votes to the candidate with the largest national popular vote total across the 50 states and the District of Columbia"
Et tu Fox News? They really do think we are stupid. Nonsense, pure nonsense. Every time demented slow Joe opens his mouth, he sticks his foot in it.
“I thought that only went into effect if they had the majority of the states and EC votes?”
Pure popular vote.
“Nonsense. The little pact isn’t enforceable.”
How is it not enforceable?? It is State law.
Fox News.
Notoriously the most leftist, ridiculous polls - every single time. They have literally no connection with reality.
“Wrong!! “
Um, you obviously missed the entire point and the news stories.
Try to keep up.
The States passed their own State laws to give their electoral college votes to the candidate with the most popular votes from all the other States.
You might want to read both my comments and news articles about the subject before making a further ass of yourself.
These false polls that provide fake comfort to the Democrats only helps us on Election Day.Lazy people don’t bother to vote if they think they are going to win.
It was taken at an assisted living facility where the residents were supporting their own
Monmouth? What a joke
