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.

If the Democrats really believe that this poll is correct, they will end their plans to cheat their way to victory.

Biden will stay in the basement all year if he has to. It’s clearly not a bad strategy for him. Yes he will have to debate but other than that, why would Biden get out and expose himself to the public? The media will 100% cover for him all the way through the election and beyond.

Yes, but that’s one poll. Most polls at that point showed the race much closer. The polling average was Clinton +5 at this point. Right now it’s Biden +10.

“I’d only be worried if the BS polls showed him leading.”

Yep, Biden supporters will see these polls and stay home. They don’t like him much anyway.

This is what I call the hoodwinking of the American public. The CNN and their cohorts have tied the Floyd event to racism. There is no evidence it was caused by racism. Then, they say this racism was caused by President Trump. They are contriving the events, just like they did for the pandemic against President Trump.

I saw where the CHOP/CHAZ mob ran a reporter out of the area because she was Fox news. They called her every name in the book and threatened her camera man. She was a reporter for Q13, a Fox news affiliate. They attacked her because she represented Fox news. They perceived that the information she got inside the occupation zone would cast a poor light when the truth about them was known. The occupation has “marshals” that work to maintain a tight control of the information about what’s happening inside the occupation. No unauthorized video will be permitted. No one is allowed to make videos or any image of the faces inside the area. They will take away any device by brute force that does. This is total control of the message.

As of now, the Slime News Media hasn’t covered the shootings which happened with 48 hours, the mob actions against the police and even the news that Mayor Durkan is calling for a dismantling of the occupation because of the shootings. How that will be done is not known and I am sure its nature will be tightly controlled. It is part of the hoodwinking.

This entire effort is choreographed effort to discredit President Trump by smearing him with the denigration of racism.

Trump will win.
And you can take it to the bank.
Thr more fake polls we get from NYT CNN etc with Biden with these funny leads, the more certain it is that Trump will win.

It’s not about one poll here and there, it’s the average of many polls over time. Right now Biden’s lead in the polling average is double what Hillary’s was at this point. Trump hasn’t led a poll in like 5 months. This is NOT the same as 2016

RCP: In June 2016, Cankles led Trump by . . . 14.

Look it up.

Anyone that thinks Biden is winning over anything beyond Hillary’s % of Hispanics proves to me that they know exactly zero Hispanics.

They’re pissed off, trust me.

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.

The prospect of that will be enough to gain Biden a lot of financial support from big corporations. The potential spike in the next quarter's profits will be sufficient to motivate them.

This article is idiotic, because Trump supporters have even less reason to tell pollsters the truth this year than they did in 2016. Both parties know the real numbers - you can tell by their actions.
