The monthly Democracy Institute Sunday Express poll for the Presidential election shows that Mr Trump is still on course for victory with 46 percent of the popular support compared to his Democrat rival Joe Biden’s 45 percent.
However, his overall lead has dropped by two points since the last poll in September.
The poll was completed after the news broke that President Trump and his wife Melania have been infected by Covid-19.
But 68 percent said the illness would not affect their vote while 19 percent said they were “more likely” to support Trump and only 13 percent “less likely”.
Almost two thirds said they felt sympathy and concern for the President while 38 percent said him getting the disease was “karma” in an indication of the current divisive nature of US politics.
Crucially, Mr Trump’s lead in key swing states including Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin remains at 4 percent by 47 percent 43 percent.
This gives a projected Electoral College split of 320 to Trump and 218 to Biden.
While other polls have Biden ahead, the Democracy Institute, which correctly predicted Brexit and Trump’s win in 2016, only considers people who identify as “likely voters” rather than all registered voters and also asks about the so called shy vote.
This shows that 77 percent of Trump supporters would not admit it to friends or family members.

The more Trump improves, the more lefties scream at the moon and swear at their smartphones.
Biden was going to fake the virus to get out of the debates and Trump aced him out.
I can’t believe that Monstrous Moore still slithers among us, anybody filled with that much hate will likely implode at some point. I don’t usually predict bad things happening to anyone, but hate has a way of catching up with those who are literally filled with it toward others.
There are at least two good national polls out there, but never seem to be included in the Real Clear Politics average.
I've been playing with numbers in a spreadsheet. Making some conservative assumptions about Biden supporters being more likely to respond to polls than Trump supporters and a small percentage of Trump backers claiming to be undecided or Biden supporters, it would put Trump a couple of percent ahead using Zogby's results. Even if they're tied in the popular vote, it would likely mean an electoral victory for Trump.
The best news of all; when the Trump’s recover they will then have an immunity to this (strain) of the virus and developed good healthy antibodies to fight off future strains.
He will be Bulletproof for a period of time. And l would bet Trump will have another country come into the Peace deal while he is hospitalized. Stick that up your butt Joe.
Overheard while shopping this afternoon.
Middle aged-woman shopper to grocery store worker gathering carts:
"Did you hear about him? He got the Covid!"
"Who?"
"Trump. He got the Covid, but he's just using it, he's stalling to get out of the debates!"
Also sighted this afternoon: A "Harris 2020" yard sign, in big letters, with the "I" letter formed by tiny "BIDEN" letters set on their side. Never saw that before. The very few Biden signs I've seen are generic "Biden Harris 2020."
Didn’t we use to hear that if Trump’s poll number rose above 45%, he’d win easily? That was when he was at 40%. Now that he’s at 46%, you just don’t hear that cited anymore.
LOL
I consider all polls to be illegitimate, but I love this poll because it will drive The Left up the proverbial wall.
What company performed this poll?
How did it do in 2016?
I’ve read that something like this will give Trump a “sympathy boost”.
They say it is short lived...4 weeks or so.
That’s all the time we need :)
You’d think God had a hand in it or something.
19 percent said they were “more likely” to support Trump and only 13 percent “less likely”...because he got the virus.
That’s a HUGE amount..6 percent.
Probably why they put him there in the first place.
Can’t stop him but maybe they can slow him down just a tiny bit.
:)
Trump with covid has vastly more energy than no energy Joe and is still pulling in far bigger crowds even at the hospital than Slow Joe ever has in this campaign.
Within 4 miles of me, there are 2 B/H signs.
One, hand made, tacked WAY up on a phone pole, out of [hillbilly] reach.
The other, campaign made, along the road, right beside a biker friend’s lane.
The day after the debate, the one beside the biker “disappeared”.
Either the sign owner changed his mind *or* “somebody” kicked down over the side of the mountain.
/what are the odds?
;)
While other polls have Biden ahead, the Democracy Institute, which correctly predicted Brexit and Trump’s win in 2016, only considers people who identify as “likely voters” rather than all registered voters and also asks about the so called shy vote.
Sounds good to me.
Waxworks - hysterical!
