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.

And why does it always seem to takes more than one of these morons to write their hit pieces? Could there be collusion at NYT?
It’s hard to see Trump winning at this point. Where is the positive political news for Trump? I’m not talking anecdotal BS, I mean real numbers. Trump was never down this much in the average of polls to Hillary. People like to talk about 2016 and there were a few polls showing him down big at that time, but Trump is in way way way worse position this year. It’s not close really. People like to hang their hat on 2016, but they shouldn’t.
I’m old enough to remember when the population actually respected journalists.
In any case, I’m sure that both NYT subscribers totally believe all reporting.

NYT still playing the race card they began in Feb 2016:
29 Feb 2016: Wikileaks Podesta Emails: Re: Hi Angel and Tina — running stuff by you re Clinton/Trump story in tomorrow’s NYT
To: Angel Urena and Tina Flourney
From: “Healy, Patrick” pdh@nytimes.com
Hope you’re both well. Amy Chozick and I are doing a story about how the Clinton campaign and its supporters view Trump as a general election opponent and plan to run against him. The story will run in tomorrow’s paper...
President Clinton, like others, thinks that Trump has his finger on the pulse of the electorate’s mood and that only a well-financed, concerted campaign portrayed him as dangerous and bigoted will win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election...
He, Mrs. Clinton, and the campaign all agree that they will need to seize on opportunities to paint Trump as extremist and recklessly impulsive...
Happy to talk this over by email or phone before 6pm today. Thanks, Patrick...

email was forwarded to various people, including Jennifer Palmieri, who was quoted in the article:
29 Feb 2016: NYT: Inside the Clinton Team’s Plan to Defeat Donald Trump
by Amy Chozick and Patrick Healy
Several Democrats argued that Mrs. Clinton, should she be her party’s nominee, would easily beat Mr. Trump. They were confident that his incendiary remarks about immigrants, women and Muslims would make him unacceptable to many Americans. They had faith that the growing electoral power of black, Hispanic and female voters would deliver a Clinton landslide if he were the Republican nominee.
But others, including former President Bill Clinton, dismissed those conclusions as denial. They said that Mr. Trump clearly had a keen sense of the electorate’s mood and that only a concerted campaign portraying him as dangerous and bigoted would win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election.
That strategy is beginning to take shape, with groups that support Mrs. Clinton preparing to script and test ads that would portray Mr. Trump as a misogynist and an enemy to the working class whose brash temper would put the nation and the world in grave danger...
But the tactics the Clintons have used for years to take down opponents may fall short in a contest between the blunt and unpredictable Mr. Trump and the cautious and scripted Mrs. Clinton...
This article is based on interviews with more than two dozen advisers, strategists and close allies of the Clintons, including several who have spoken directly with Mr. Clinton. Some spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss strategy publicly...
‘Against Bigotry’
The greatest weapon against Mr. Trump, the Clintons believe, is his tendency to make outrageous, even hateful comments that can come across as unpresidential...
In South Carolina and Tennessee, Mrs. Clinton began to lay the groundwork for what advisers call “a campaign against bigotry,” in which she will present herself as the fair-minded foil to Mr. Trump. She declared that Americans needed more “love and kindness.”...
During the Republican debate on Thursday, the Clinton campaign posted an image on Instagram that said, “These are not American values: Racism, sexism, bigotry, discrimination, inequality.”...
Jennifer Palmieri, a Clinton spokeswoman, said that she was focused on the primary, but that “she was the first person to call Trump out on either side, and we reserve the right to do that depending on the circumstances.”...

Hillary had a “big lead” too.
How did that turn out?
Trump is going to have to force Biden out of his hole to win this thing.
Over four months till the election. Plenty of time for Biden to screw up.

Don’t give in to it.
They were 1 point off. They said she’d win the popular vote by 3 percent but won by 2 percent.
Three writers for this Slimes article. The first warming sign.
It’s as reliable as the fake New York Times Russian collusion delusion illusion for which they got a Pulitzer Prize.
Hillary was ahead by 10 points 4 years ago. See my last post.
Three score and some bonus years....never even heard "journalist" until late 70's. We had news reporters most of which were held in the same regard as street walkers. Not to say there weren't some outstanding ones. But check out some old movies to see how the press was portrayed...or General Sheriden's comments.
I cant imagine someone believing this. Biden isn’t even a real candidate
And why does it always seem to takes more than one of these morons to write their hit pieces? Could there be collusion at NYT?
—
I’m convinced they then. use each other as the “sources”.
“If that weren’t already reason enough for Trump supporters to worry, a poll from NBC and the Wall Street Journal released on Monday put Clinton’s lead at 14 percentage points.”
That was 28 days before the election.
