WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Donald Trump has established a sizable lead over President Joe Biden in the White House race since the two candidates debated last week, according to separate opinion polls published on Wednesday by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
Biden vowed to stay in the 2024 presidential race during a call with campaign staff on Wednesday and sought to reassure top Democrats on Capitol Hill that he is fit for reelection, despite his halting, shaky debate performance last week.
The New York Times and Siena College poll showed Trump, a Republican, building a 6 percentage point lead – 49% to 43% – over Biden, a Democrat, among registered voters that the Times considered likely to cast ballots in the Nov. 5 election. It was Trump’s largest lead in a Times/Siena poll since 2015, when he was campaigning ahead of his 2016 presidential election victory. Among all registered voters in the poll, Trump led by 9 points.
The Wall Street Journal poll showed Trump with a 6 point lead over Biden, compared to a 2 point lead in a survey that the Journal carried out in February.
In both polls, which were conducted nationwide, respondents noted that Biden’s age, 81, was weighing on his appeal. Some 80% of respondents in the Journal poll, which surveyed 1,500 registered voters from June 29 through July 2, said Biden was too old to seek a second term. That poll had a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
I really wish Rush were still with us these days. *HEART*
OMG Rush... how we miss him. His voice. His assurance.
Problem with low knowledge voters who also have low IQs.
Tens of millions of them.
“They say Biden did really lousy in the debate last week and should drop out.”
Friend: “Huh? He did? My family always votes Democrat. Always has and always will. My mom watched and said Biden got him some good zingers against Trump. We have to stop Trump. He’s a felon.”

Ditto!!!
Those will easily go for a Kamala-laugh , thinking it’s funny...
No Republican Presidential candidate has lead by this much in any poll going back 2 decades.
I think Trump performed brilliantly. He looked and sounded very Presidential, and eviscerated Biden without stooping to Biden’s level.
I have barely listened to talk radio since Rush died.
Dittos!
“showed Trump, a Republican, building a 6 percentage point lead – 49% to 43% – over Biden, a Democrat, among registered voters that the Times considered likely to cast ballots in the Nov. 5 election.”
Man, this is going to have Tom Friedman’s and Charles Blow’s panties in a knot to end all knots.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly.
It’s a one horse race now

So Biden is 6 points behind and there is still 4 months to go. What’s the panic among the Democrats?
Trump: We Declare our Independence from Joe Biden beginning July 5th!
