Trump's COVID-19 meltdown fuels Republican fears of Democratic sweep in November: Lindsey Graham's senate race moves to 'toss-up' and Biden goes 51-40 in Florida in the wake of last week's presidential debate and President Donald Trump's diagnosis

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's reelection race to 'toss-up' status, as he faces an energetic opponent and President Donald Trump takes on severe headwinds – a flashing warning sig for Republicans seeking to keep control of the Senate.

The news, in a race ranking by a respected race-tracker, comes amid an onslaught of bad polling for President Donald Trump, who is battling COVID-19 at the White House this week.

A new Quinnipiac University poll has Democrat Joe Biden leading Trump 51-40 in battleground Florida – a jump over a persistent but narrower Biden lead in a state Trump carried in 2016. It has Biden up 54 to 41 in Pennsylvania and 50 to 45 in Iowa, two other states Trump carried.

I’m totally Fox free and have been for quite some time now. So I doubt I will pay much attention to that poll either. 8>)

So did the ChiComs buy Breitbart and turn it into a pro Biden B$ organization?

Bullship. IBD/TPP claims they were the most accurate in ‘16 and said today:

-——The latest IBD/TIPP poll surveyed 1,221 registered voters, from September 30 to October 1— after the Trump-Biden presidential debate on Tuesday night but before the early Friday news that President Trump has tested positive for the coronavirus. The poll was conducted online using TechnoMetrica’s network of online panels to provide the sample due to COVID-19. The weighted likely voter sample reflects 411 Democrats, 403 Republicans and 201 independent voters.——

...and even a bit too heavy with D weighting. Relax

Quinnipiac is worthless, and always has been. It also oversamples Dems. by a significant margin.
It’s purpose is not information, it’s discouraging propaganda.

Everything you see in the press is lies. Never forget that. They lie even when the truth is better for them. It’s their mode of operation and they never deviate from it.

There is not even one single Quinnipiac poll from swing states in 2016 that I could find that turned out to be right.
Just go with Trafalgar and be done with it.
Trafalgar was right on every single swing state poll, including Wisconsin where 33 straight polls had Hilary winning, some by as high as 15%. The last RCP average for Wisconsin had Hilary winning by a massive 6.5%. Trump still clobbered her. And Trafalgar called it.

Graham will win. And it won’t even be close.
He just needs to get ACB confirmed.

Continued attempts to dispirit Republican voters. The media well knows how important positive energy is in an election. Make suckers believe their horse is a loser, and viola. Like magic.

Will this stuff ever stop? How often do you see Presidential polls start out with some Republican carrying a 10 point lead? Happens like clockwork for Dems.

No reason to think the polling industry is any more comprised of conservatives, than the media/entertainment/music industry/Hollywood/academia/big tech/etc.

Whatever millennials/Democrats/liberals/progressives infest, the same cancer appears. The ends justify the means. Lie if you need to.

Nice try troll.

1) this isn’t from Breitbart.

2) yet another poll, sigh.

3) where was the meltdown? Did I miss it?

4) Graham isn’t losing and his opponent’s mask and plexiglass shenanigans at the debate isn’t playing well down here.
