Biden holds 3-point edge over Trump in White House race: poll
fox news ^ | 3/24/2020 | Paul Steinhauser

A new national poll points to an extremely close contest between President Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden as the race for the White House shifts to a likely general election battle between the two.

According to the poll, the president enjoys a nearly 2-to-1 margin over Biden in the 2,500 solidly red counties that Trump overwhelming won four years ago over 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In the 360 solidly blue counties where Clinton crushed Trump, Biden is up by a 2-to-1 margin. But in the approximately 300 swing counties where the margins in the 2016 presidential election were 10 points or less, Biden tops Trump 50-41 percent.

“The race looks tight right now between Trump and the probable Democratic nominee. But as we learned in 2016, the outcome will be determined by the Electoral College rather than the national popular vote. The poll results suggest Biden may actually be starting out with an advantage in crucial swing areas of the country,” Monmouth University Polling Institute Director Patrick Murray said in a statement.

THE LATEST FROM FOX NEWS ON THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

As expected, there’s a wide partisan divide, with Democrats backing Biden 89-6 percent and Republicans behind the president 90-7 percent. Independents are nearly dead even, with 45 percent for Trump and 44 percent for the former vice president.

Biden leads 56-34 percent among voters under age 35, Trump has a 53-40 lead among those 35 to 54 and Biden has a slight 4-point advantage among voters 55 and older.

The Monmouth University poll was conducted using LIVE telephone operators, with 754 registered voters nationwide questioned. The survey’s sampling error is plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

(not 764) Can’t use dead operators anymore;)

Keep it under your hat! We want the Democrats to believe that Biden has a chance.

2016 taught us beyond a shadow of a doubt to never trust the polls.

If a pollster called me, I’d tell them I’m voting for Biden.

Well - you do like to post a lot of jokes to elicit chuckles...

Sometimes they just write themselves - thanks for all the humor you have provided/will provide...we need the relief as so many cave into abject terror ...just because.

Stay well.

But in the approximately 300 swing counties where the margins in the 2016 presidential election were 10 points or less, Biden tops Trump 50-41 percent.

Less than 3 people per county were contacted? Plus doesn't mention how the vote turned out for the 2016 election.
Rock solid right there.

Even in the middle of a crisis, Biden can’t get any traction.

That fool is in for an @ss whipping.

“in the approximately 300 swing counties where the margins in the 2016 presidential election were 10 points or less, Biden tops Trump 50-41 percent.”

Why don’t they give us the numbers specifically for the swing counties that Trump won four years ago? If he’s still winning them, he wins the election. Are they not giving those numbers because they would show Trump getting reelected?

“National polls are POINTLESS. We elect our POTUS with 51 elections, not one.”

Actually, we now only hold 38 votes. 14 States no longer go with the electoral college. They give all electoral vote to the candidate with the most votes across the nation.

Of course, this is terribly unconstitutional since no State must report to any other State their popular vote or even use a popular voting mechanism.

It also throws away the votes of their own citizens.

These polls are designed to create copy and keep the Lame stream Media in business.

The same poll had Hillary up by double digits.

I'd guess the poll oversampled Democrats and was of registered voters.

I thought that only went into effect if they had the majority of the states and EC votes?
