CNN poll: Biden’s lead over Trump narrows, inching ahead in key battleground states
ktla.com ^ | 8/16/20 | CNN Wire

Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump among registered voters has significantly narrowed since June, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, even as the former vice president maintains an advantage over the President on several top issues and his choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris as a running mate earns largely positive reviews.

And on the eve of the party conventions, a majority of voters (53%) are “extremely enthusiastic” about voting in this year’s election, a new high in CNN polling in presidential election cycles back to 2003.

Overall, 50% of registered voters back the Biden-Harris ticket, while 46% say they support Trump and Pence, right at the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Among the 72% of voters who say they are either extremely or very enthusiastic about voting this fall, Biden’s advantage over Trump widens to 53% to 46%. It is narrower, however, among those voters who live in the states that will have the most impact on the electoral college this fall.

"Across 15 battleground states, the survey finds Biden has the backing of 49% of registered voters, while Trump lands at 48%.

Taken together, though, they represent a more Republican-leaning playing field than the nation as a whole."

This is CNN and this could be the start of very bad news for Biden. If CNN is putting out a poll this close and with this sort of Trump improvement, it means Trump has pulled ahead in the key states he needs to win. Now let's keep it going!

Dems are desperately trying to keep the campaign from starting. Basement Biden is toast if we have anything like a normal campaign season.

Registered voters. Irrelevant.

Likely voters weighted reasonably to reflect 2016 turnout? I’d find
Informative. Still not authoritative, due to problems reaching people and who cooperated and who plays mind games.

In 2014, I said early on that Larry Hogan was going to beat Anthony Brown in the Maryland governor’s race, even though pretty much every poll showed Brown ahead. I was watching the trend line (the movement.) It was consistently moving in Hogan’s direction.

I noticed the same thing in 2016 with Trump, and I’m seeing a similar thing now.

National polls mean absolutely nothing, because we don’t have a national election, we have the Electoral College.

“I noticed the same thing in 2016 with Trump, and I’m seeing a similar thing now.”

Same here.

The movement of Independents towards Trump in late summer 2016 was also a telltale sign.

Trump almost peaked too early in 2016. He was very lucky that he won. I think biden’s already peaked this year.

Saw something like this as well. Cannot recall the poll because I was just skimming, but it showed DJT doing better by 6% with Hispanics than he did in 2016, and Biden doing 8% worse than Hillary.
