Biden leads Trump by 6 points in new poll
The Hill ^ | April 27, 2020 | Susan Page

Posted on 04/28/2020 10:51:11 AM PDT by nwrep

Overall Numbers from December 2019: Trump 44 - Biden 41

Overall Numbers from April 2020: Trump 38 - Biden 44

One key question: Stands up for US Interests (April 2020): Trump 53 - Biden 58

1000 Registered US voters.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump in a new national poll that shows a reversal in the race amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Forty-four percent of respondents in the USA Today–Suffolk University poll said they backed the former vice president, while 38 percent said they supported Trump.

The last USA Today–Suffolk poll showed Trump leading Biden by 3 points in December 2019. Biden was in the middle of a crowded presidential primary late last year, while Trump was dealing with the House impeachment inquiry into his past conversations with the president of Ukraine.

I managed to find the breakdown (it wasn’t easy!) Dem-353 Rep-304 Ind-331

Thank you. Here is the breakdown from the 2016 election voting demographics:

Dem - 370

Rep - 330

Ind - 300

These are from the actual population that voted.

As far as I know no, there is no directory of cell phones.

Why does there need to be a directory of cell phones for that to be true?

Because “Registered Voter” polls merely ask whomever is being polled, “Are you a registered voter ?” And then ask who they’re voting for. Half of registered voters and sometimes far more than that don’t actually vote in elections. If all of the registered voters voted, there would be more validity to the polling data. But even if there was, there remains the problem of voter by party balance. Most of these are way out of whack (meaning, usually overpolling of Dems and Independents and shorting of Republicans).

So basically, one, polling people where half or more aren’t going to vote can be dismissed out of hand. And, two, a biased poll for party balance is the second reason it can be dismissed.

These polls are done to explicitly depress (via psychological means) Republican voters into thinking, “Oh, no ! Voters are going Democrat. If Trump’s going to lose anyway, why bother voting ?” They’ve been pulling this crap for years, and the “polling” done for 2016 was ludicrously false, claiming in some instances that Hillary was leading by 15-20% in the popular vote nationally and that she’d sweep the Electoral College in a massive landslide. All lies.

The only kind of polls that can come remotely close to reality are LIKELY VOTER polls that are properly balanced for party participation. If it’s not ‘Likely’, you can dismiss it out of hand as being another fake poll.

“1000 registered voters’.

Only 3 times in past year, and obvious Dem poll.

Trump has to make this election about China, and expose the major CCP influence in the democrat party. Beijing Biden is an easy target. Trump has to show he's willing to take tougher actions with China than anyone else.

Trump doesn't need to hold daily Coronavirus briefing's either. He also needs to do a lot of TV and radio interviews with a variety of local and national shows. Trump shouldn't just do interviews with people like Hannity, where he's unlikely to reach any new voters. He should do a lot more podcast like Joe Rogan,Patrick Bet-David, The Rubin Report, Jocko Podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, etc. There are a lot of popular podcast with very large and diverse audiences that interview a wide range of people, and they would be much more fair with Trump than the MSM like CNN or MSNBC. He would also reach people that he might not be able to reach if he only uses more traditional outlets.

Rogan and Bet-David talk about China a lot, and it would be a great outlet to reach people on that issue. Those clips get spread all over social media. Doing an interview with The Epoch Times, American Thought Leaders would be a good idea to, but they don't have the millions of subscribers like some of the others. He should call in to Bannon’s War Room Pandemic as well. The mainstream media and talk radio still have a lot of power, but there's a huge demographic that you can't reach through those outlets that you can others, regardless of whether you like some of those guys I mentioned personally. It seems like a good strategy to me, considering rallies are out for now. The ones I mentioned are just a few I could think of quickly that would probably want Trump. We lose the country if Beijing Biden wins the election, so everyone should do whatever they can to make sure that doesn't happen. It can't happen.

Even the democrat's favorite pollster, Nate Silver at 538 says the polls at this point are completely meaningless. He said when people ask him if the race is over, he says “No, Because it hasn't even started.” As he points out, Mike Dukakis was 18 points ahead of George HW Bush at this point in 1988 and Mitt Romney has 7 points ahead of Obama at this time in 2012. He went on to say people should not even start paying attention to the polls until after the conventions.

A minute after the 1st debate is over. He can barely put 3 complete sentences back to back now while using a teleprompter.

Sorry, but I forgot to mention in my post to you (#89) that I’m speaking about blue-collar workers in my rust-belt state. I suspect that what I said there will be true for all rust-belt states.

But as for blue-collar workers elsewhere, hopefully they can see Biden for what he really is. But I just don’t know about that.

So true.

I think we are going to see the “Mother of All Campaign Ads” in this campaign. There is so much devastating material to work with that will decimate the Rats. It’s just a matter of the timing.

Thank you for taking the time with a great explanation.

The thing here, you see the words “registered voter” and you think here’s someone who cared enough to register so you gotta know it’s legit.

Only I’m thinking a lot of these “registered” voters signed up when they got their driver’s license.
