Biden Takes Dominant Lead as Voters Reject Trump on Virus and Race

Joseph R. Biden Jr. has taken a commanding lead over President Trump in the 2020 race, building a wide advantage among women and nonwhite voters and making deep inroads with some traditionally Republican-leaning groups that have shifted away from Mr. Trump following his ineffective response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new national poll of registered voters by The New York Times and Siena College.

Mr. Biden is currently ahead of Mr. Trump by 14 percentage points, garnering 50 percent of the vote compared with 36 percent for Mr. Trump. That is among the most dismal showings of Mr. Trump’s presidency, and a sign that he is the clear underdog right now in his fight for a second term.

Mr. Trump has been an unpopular president for virtually his entire time in office. He has made few efforts since his election in 2016 to broaden his support beyond the right-wing base that vaulted him into office with only 46 percent of the popular vote and a modest victory in the Electoral College.

...

The dominant picture that emerges from the poll is of a country ready to reject a president whom a strong majority of voters regard as failing the greatest tests confronting his administration.

Mr. Biden leads Mr. Trump by enormous margins with black and Hispanic voters, and women and young people appear on track to choose Mr. Biden by an even wider margin than they favored Hillary Clinton over Mr. Trump in 2016. But the former vice president has also drawn even with Mr. Trump among male voters, whites and people in middle age and older — groups that have typically been the backbones of Republican electoral success, including Mr. Trump’s in 2016.

Manufactured crises.

Will the Communist Left promise to sit down and be good wittle boys and gurls if Joe Biden is elected pwesident?

[jeffc]

uh-huh.

Just like NYT's prediction of a Hillary blowout over Trump in 2016...

[over3Owithabrain]

So I guess all those angry white rednecks suddenly stopped being racists??

“Joseph R. Biden Jr.” lol.

[databoss]

Garbage in, garbage out.

Some unease toward Mr. Trump stems from voters’ racial attitudes. According to the poll, white voters under 45 are overwhelmingly supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement, while older whites are more tepid in their views toward racial justice activism. And nearly 70 percent of whites under 45 said they believed the killing of George Floyd was part of a broader pattern of excessive police violence toward African-Americans rather than an isolated incident.

Millennial morons.

His approval rating is still narrowly positive on the issue of the economy, with 50 percent of voters giving him favorable marks compared with 45 percent saying the opposite. Should the fall campaign become a referendum on which candidate is better equipped to restore prosperity after the pandemic has subsided, that could give Mr. Trump a new opening to press his case.

Yes, just that small little thing called THE ECONOMY.

Mark my words, if Gropey Joe is elected, the word will go out to stop the rioting and burning.

Magically, it will stop overnight.

Book it.

What planet are these guys living on?

I have to hand it to the Dems, they will burn this country to the ground as long as they get to rule over the ashes. That is some determination and commitment. I don’t think I ever saw a political party so dedicated to destroying a president and they don’t care who else they destroy in the process as well.

This is a pure evil and the American people are too sheeple to see it.

“I will vote Biden, please don’t hurt me” disgusting

Americans will vote for Biden for “peace at any price.” Count on it. America is dead.

The shocktroops are DNC brownshirts and the Rat District Attorneys refuse to prosecute or even leave the arrests on the culprits’ records. They have been expunged.

That’s odd, I still think he’s doing great.

[dfwgator]

It’s my fear.

The Democrats are basically holding the hostage, between the riots and the lockdowns, with the message that if Trump is voted out, all of this will stop. And people don’t want justice, they just want normalcy, and will do anything to get it back, even if it means sacrificing their principles.

May God help us if Biden is elected.

Had we still been mired in the Obama economy, this pandemic would have been far worse. At least in the Trump economy, with his tireless efforts to deregulate, people are free to develop alternate means of doing business and have been doing so. A controlled socialist economy would have crashed and burned under the pressure of the pandemic.

Allegedly that was Charlie Manson’s game (because Bugliosi needed a conspiracy theory to charge Manson with murder since he didn’t enter the homes or even go to the first murder). He “wanted” a race war and then was going to take over when the shooting stopped and both sides were worn out.
