Donald Trump In US Election Polls Surge As Voters Trust Him To Revive Covid-19 Hit Economy
express.co.uk ^ | Aug 1, 2020

The third in a series of monthly Democracy Institute/ Sunday Express polls has given President Trump a surprise lead over his Democrat rival of 48 percent to 46 percent, his clearest lead yet.

Crucially, President Trump has a lead of 48 percent to 43 percent in the swing states Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin which would put him back in the White House with an electoral college tally of 309 to Biden’s 229.

Specifically, in Florida Trump has a 47 to 45 point lead, Minnesota (where the black lives matters protests began) a 46/45 lead, and New Hampshire a 46/43 lead.

The polling suggests Mr Trump is emerging as the race leader because of a belief he is best in handling the economy.

With a third of voters putting the economy as the top election issue and 66 percent thinking that the economy is bouncing back after coronavirus, voters believe that Trump is better for the economy by 57 percent to 43 percent.

Writing for the Sunday Express, Director of the Democracy Institute Patrick Basham suggested that the Biden campaign may have “reached its high water mark”.

He said: “Although Biden remains in a competitive race with Donald Trump, and may well do so until election day, his support isn’t growing. And, tellingly, almost all of the issues that matter most to voters are trending in President Trump’s favour.

It doesn’t help matters any, that Biden hangs out in his basement and does very few campaign appearances, very few media appearances.

Whoever his VP running mate is, may well become the face of the campaign. But then that’s part of the Democrats problems, because he’s supposed to pick a black woman, but none of the black women prominently talked about would help bring moderate or swing voters to the Democrat ticket.

I know we normally do not believe polls but that is b/c they skew liberal so much.

So if this is showing a slight lead for Trump, it means he has a YUGE lead. So much even the lefty msm cannot completely hide it.

Exactly. The Left thought they would hurt Trump by wrecking the economy. Little did they know that the American people would see Trump as the best person to fix it!

Now we need Trump more than ever.

I fully expect they will engineer a serious economic downturn sometime near the election, say a black Monday sometime in October. They crashed it in February, and can do it again.

I think if the Senate doesn’t pass federal unemployment booster, we’ll lose the Senate and Presidency.

And this is why Dems want mail in voting SO badly..its the ONLY way they can win..MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE voter fraud..ballots being thrown in the trash. For example, I send my checks to be deposited at the bank because since LA has so many cases, dont feel safe going there..so I send them prepaid envelopes that they sent me..the bank is only about 4 blocks away..it took ONE WEEK for them to receive my checks, they just called me verifying that they received it this morning, one week..for a bank 4 blocks away..imagine how long it would take ballots to arrive, and be counted, a year? more maybe

Fox News will quickly release their poll showing Biden ahead by 25 to counteract the truth and perpetuate the tired old narrative.

“dems will be concocting a third major national crisis for Trump before the election.”

Their plan is steal the election with vote-by-mail fraud.

Same thing with the 2nd Amendment. The left has been working for years trying to get America’s guns. In the meantime, they stoke hatred by riots, lootings, fires. And what do American’s do?? BUY MORE GUNS.

I love the Law of Unintended Consequences!

There are a host of Soros sucking “concerned” folks here who will REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE at this.

Thank you for posting it. I do await the usual suspects to head to this thread to explain why the Soros media polls are the ones we should “ackchyually” believe.
