Trump Overtakes Biden, 47%-46%, Hits 52% Approval
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | September 16, 2020

In a polling double tap on the Democratic presidential ticket, President Trump for the first time has edged in front of Joe Biden in his bid for reelection and he’s reached his highest approval rating for the year.

The just issued Rasmussen Reports surveys put Trump’s approval rating at 52%, after a string of 51% marks. He reached 52% two other times this year.

And the pollster’s weekly race review released at noon had Trump nudging ahead of Biden, 47%-46%.

“President Trump has now edged to a one-point lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the latest Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey. While statistically insignificant, it’s the first time Trump has been ahead,” said the poll analysis.

It added, "The race has narrowed over the past two weeks. Biden had a two-point lead last week, but that survey also marked the first time Trump had edged above 45% over the past two-and-a-half months. Prior to this week, Biden has bested Trump in every weekly survey since White House Watch began at the beginning of July."

Agree Biden will NOT debate. I think the decision was made way back that the fallout from him not debating would be less than what would be the utter train wreck if he did.

That means the dems will phone one of their HOs-in-waiting and tell her to release the “big bombshell” lie to the media, and to come collect her check.

Please, President Trump wins easily.
The only real question is, do we retake the house?

“Notice that the Soros-sucking satanists who troll here with their golden images (polls) are noticeably absent from this thread”

Gimme a break. You post this 5 minutes after the thread starts. Lol.

It’s great that Trump has gained steadily in this poll over 2 weeks. It’s still a close race that can go either way.

The 46% disapproval may be the lowest since his first week in office.

Biden's answers will be far more enjoyable. You know that sooner or later, President Trump will goad Biden into a tantrum.

When Biden gets flustered, floundering around for an answer and then try to laugh it off by saying his time is almost up, President Trump needs to quickly respond that he'll give Joe his time to finish his answer. After the panic, Biden's temper will probably erupt.

Increasingly it seems the danger is not that Trump will lose the election, it’s that it will be stolen from him by mail ballots.

The Soros-sucking satanists are usually running to the forum to post their golden image “polls” as soon as they drop. So that’s not an excuse.

Good analysis. My next question is ... if there are no presidential debates, will there be a vice-presidential debate? The spin machine will have to go into over-drive to explain why Pence/Harris can’t take place either. To me, pulling out of the vp debates or holding them without the POTUS debates will be very hard and awkward to justify.

If watching Harri’s movements she’s going and doing what Biden should but isn’t. In fact many Demorats believe Harris would be President if Biden wins.

I’m not sure if there’s a drug powerful enough to jack Biden up to handle a debate.....but you can be sure it will be used if there is.

I expect Harris and Pence to debate but it will be lower keyed as people want to see and hear Trump and Biden.....should they determine he can’t debate they’ll ask to see if Harris can fill-in.

So the Vindman Loser Lie and Woodward on COVID didn’t land a punch. Gotta wonder what they’ll try next.

Outright criminal theft of the election seems number one in their plans.

You are so right McFrog.... they will find boxes of votes in the trunk of a 1968 Pontiac in every state that is even slightly close. They started this technique with LBJ’ senate race, then perfected it with Al Franken’s so-called win over Coleman in Minnesota.

You are SO right!

Now is NOT the time for us to relax!

“At the moment of truth, there are either reasons or results.”
General Chuck Yeager’s wisdom is a teaching moment for all of us!

The ONLY thing that counts are RESULTS!

WE MUST KEEP OUR PEDAL TO THE METAL TO ENSURE A TRUMP AND REPUBLICAN SWEEP WIN ON NOVEMBER 3!
