Overall Numbers from December 2019: Trump 44 - Biden 41

Overall Numbers from April 2020: Trump 38 - Biden 44

One key question: Stands up for US Interests (April 2020): Trump 53 - Biden 58

1000 Registered US voters.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump in a new national poll that shows a reversal in the race amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Forty-four percent of respondents in the USA Today–Suffolk University poll said they backed the former vice president, while 38 percent said they supported Trump.

The last USA Today–Suffolk poll showed Trump leading Biden by 3 points in December 2019. Biden was in the middle of a crowded presidential primary late last year, while Trump was dealing with the House impeachment inquiry into his past conversations with the president of Ukraine.

From the same pollsters who called it for Hillary in a slam dunk in 2016, most likely.

“Trump has no path to 270.” — Mainstream media 2016 right up until the last few state resullts came in

Partner, I still remember that line from the "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Insane Political Journalists."

Thanks very much.

Appreciate your encouraging post and hope that everything works out as you describe so that our great leader might still have a fighting chance of reelection.

This should be posted as satire or fiction.

The poll w/ Biden leading is authentic——taken in Fantasyland on Gay Day at Disney.....cackle.

Maybe some conservatives are simply sick and tired of Trump giving so much voice to frauds like Fauci and Birx while we watch our liberties being violated. The pearl clutching is destroying out country.

Freepers never quite understand that both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.

This poll reflects that advantage

There are in fact more of them than there are of us

[PGR88]

I love him, can’t wait to vote for him, but if some bozo called and asked if I would vote for him, I’d say NO sir..

I actively lie to pollsters. I consider it my civic duty to do so. Pollsters depend on societal trust, but they and their published results are not at all trustworthy, and many of them have a devious political agenda. Therefore, they are abusing public good-will and trust for their own power and profit. That’s immoral IMHO

[Phil DiBasquette]

You hope

3/4 of the population hasn’t even seen Joe fumble around looking for words, then of course we have the same polls that said HELLARY was ahead by 10 points everywhere!! Like I said before Trump supporters lie to pollsters why in the hell would they want the aggravation!!!!

[Afterguard]

Ha! Registered voters polled? Useless.

I don’t answer any cell phone call that isn’t in my contact list and i don’t answer ANY calls on my landline. However, if i did and it was a pollster i would lie to them irrespective of the question asked.

Exactly. Thank you for understanding that. Even in the 2016 polls, which it has become fashionable to blast, the popular vote advantage was not that far off (it showed Hillary winning by 5-6 points, and she won by 3). What was off was the Electoral Vote “projection” by the experts, and that was what had 90-95% certainty and those are the numbers we remember. In fact, the actual raw poll number (popular vote margin) was not that far off, and was in the right direction.

Biden will win the popular vote by oc 3 pts, but he faces a steep climb in the Electoral College.

The HILL = FAKE NEWS and you will never get an accurate poll where Trump is concerned!!!

[tomkat]

He will siphon away blue-collar votes that went for Trump in 2016.

That's just what the elites effetes want you to think - that most 'blue-collar' voters are idiot flyover rubes.

Having been a 'blue-collar' carpenter for forty years, it's my experience that the vast majority of men/women in 'the trades' have boatloads more common sense than 90% of the self-styled effetes.

What they see is a man who gets the job done - precisely what their lives and livelihoods depend upon - and, with the possible exception of union lackeys, relate to and will vote for that trait accordingly.
