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.

Push polls
We should not confuse pundit extrapolation (which is what the 93% number is) with actual polls. Actual polls never had Hillary getting 50% of the vote this early.
“The media will 100% cover for him all the way through the election and beyond.”
I used to give the GOP candidate a 5-7% handicap based on media bias. In 2020 that number is easily 10-12%. It’s a situation where less than 0.1% of the population (the Media and Hollywood) can sway a group 100x its size.
The polls (which have been consistent now for a couple of weeks) are not an endorsement of Biden as much as a repudiation of Trump. If the current choice before them is deemed unacceptable or untenable, then an alternative, even with dementia, is something people will settle for.
The same planet on which Trump's campaign staff lives - they just made a huge advertising investment in Iowa, a state he won by 10% in 2016, and where the polls show he is now tied.

Ha ha ha ha Joey Fingers couldn’t get more than 66% in DEEP BLUE NEW YORK. More than 1/3 of Democrats voted for people who dropped out weeks and months ago. Lying much NYT?
Respondents were said to be most impressed with Biden's answer on the cold war question:
BIDEN: “Stop the cold war future that we’re talking about. We’re talking about a peaceful cold war. What are we talking about?”
(complete answer online at Breitbart)
Yep, that there Bidenism clinched it....heck, with leadership like that, Democraps better get ready for a major power grab.
“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.”
So if patriots burn Chicago, LA and Seattle to the ground, people will vote for Trump to stop the shenanigans.
NEW YORK TIMES...A BULL SHIT NEWS SITE WHO REPORTS NOTHING BUT BARRY HUSSEIN FAIRYTALES...
Sick and tired of this nonsense...
Time for Americans VOTE IN FORCE AND MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD...
Then they're as stupid as Biden, because if Joe Dementia gets in there it will be the start of total anarchy and lawlessness.
Agreed.
And Trump needs to get on the stick with more messaging like Tom Cotton put out yesterday...
I agree, but take a look at the dem street mobs, or even the so-called "soccer moms" - they are are not even in the same universe as "reasonable".
Obviously, Trump's campaign disagrees and is no longer sanguine about his chances. Money talks, and their desperate investment in Iowa is indicative of their poll-driven unease.
Virus and Race. Two crises that were artificially inflated to major crisis status precisely so as to be a major problem for Trump, and to be blamed on him.
ALL of the mainstream media, collectively, is PRAVDA.
