Biden Takes Dominant Lead as Voters Reject Trump on Virus and Race
NYT ^ | June 24, 2020 | Alexander Burns, Jonathan Martin and Matt Stevens

Posted on 06/24/2020 4:53:34 AM PDT by Stravinsky

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.

I do believe Trump is making a strategic mistake in thinking that people will vote Republican because they think the Democrats are responsible for the mayhem.

And while people might be inclined to blame the Democrats, they also will understand that if Trump is removed, that they will stop the shenanigans.

Sorry, but that’s your American People today. No guts, No glory! They don’t deserve Trump.

Early cover for the improbable win of Joe Biden through massive voter fraud.

I agree, I don’t see Biden winning this year.

But the Left is doing this strictly because of the election, the foreign state own press and Leftists are ALSO protesting America because of the election and neither of these “Crises” are Donald Trump’s fault or worth the amount of attention they are being given. The scare is manufactured even if the concerns are genuine.

Remember when they called it a “Red Scare”? How much of what was said has come to pass with regards to tearing down the institutions of marriage, organized religion, morals, protecting Communist traitors and seditionists, tearing down historical figures, and tossing out the cultural works and history of Western Civilization?

Far more legitimate concern about America collusion with Soviets was brushed off while these un-American militants get a pass in the media. “Good people” don’t you know?

>>We had news reporters most of which were held in the same regard as street walkers.

Didn’t the modern Washington Post have a writer who had sex with two different sources within the US government for intel?

More jingoistic propaganda from the Slimes.

The whole nation laughs at these liars.

” ORANGE MAN BAD...HE GONNA LOSE!”

Pretty arcane stuff. And they want to tear down America.

Let them pay the butcher’s bill.

These polls always make me nervous even knowing they are biased. Then I ask, who is watching his rallies? Why would fewer black voters support him? Why would fewer women support him ? The reported results don’t make sense. However, these polls still make me nervous.

“They were 1 point off. They said she’d win the popular vote by 3 percent but won by 2 percent.”

Yeah except we don’t do elections based on the popular vote....or didn’t you know that.

That aside if you were to actually look at all the polling from 2016 you would know that the “experts” had Clinton up mostly close to double digits until the last 2 weeks when as usual they began to report honestly in order to preserve their credibility.

Polls today are nothing but attempt to influence the vote and not in any way to predict it.

We need likely voters not registered voters.

We need voters in battleground states not nationwide.

Is it time to panic? No, but that time is drawing near. The campaign needs to be shaken up, the president disciplined, the issues focused, and, above all, the president must articulate a coherent vision for America.

Merely comparing himself to demented Joe is not enough, the message must be affirmative, comprehensive, compelling.

I’d only be worried if the BS polls showed him leading. Never let them see you sweat.

Journalism is now, err, has been, the new commercial brand of toilet paper....NYT is prime source material.

Partner, it has been over for the Newspapers all around the country. It is time for the NYT to look themselves in the mirror.

"The Giant Sixth Grade Brain Lousy Nasty Political Journalists" are history now.

The NYT has obviously forgotten that we have had these rioting, looting, killing, destroying property, burning properties to the ground by the Antifa Anarchists and BLM and we have the NYT telling folks that an Alzheimers/Demnentia guy like Biden is winning in a political poll in Novermber.

Biden has been in a political office for 41 years. This is way too long.

President Trump has been in office for the first time and he is our POTUS.

We already know that the DC Swamp is big and needs a total revampaing.

The "America Hating and Nasty Piece of Work Mooselimb Obama" went into work for about an hour a day and played golf every afternoon.

We will take President Trump who comes in every single day to work at 6:00 a.m. and leaves at 6:00 p.m. and we will take President Trump every single day as our POTUS.

This actually defines President Trump as a workhorse and a half.

Those very same people you speak of ain’t seen nothing yet. Biden wins and the real revenge a violence will be carried out against the right in ways nobody can imagine.

Giving in to the devils will bring no peace and absolutely no normalcy because they will take everything you have worked for and keep it for themselves.

Climate change didn’t work. The virus is sputtering out. Back to basics. All politics are racial.

Haha!

Yeah okay NY Slimes, and that is why no one shows up to his rallies.

Has anyone seen even seen 1 Biden sign? I have not, but seen quite a few Trump 2020 signs.

a modest victory in the Electoral College.

304 - 227 doesn't sound too modest to me.....

LOL. Thanks for posting.

We all need a little reminder once in awhile about the sort of results you get when you poll registered voters mostly over cellphones. And then toss in the normal MSM endorsed overweighting of the young over the old and D over R.
