Trump neck and neck with Biden,.. approval equal with Obama's in 2012.....

While the media have been hyping polls showing Democrat Joe Biden with a sizable and growing lead over President Trump, the outfit that called the 2016 popular vote correctly shows the 2020 race neck and neck.

A week after finding that Trump closed a 10-point gap with Biden to just 3 points, Rasmussen Reports today revealed that Trump has edged up another point as Biden hits a ceiling.

On Wednesday, the race stood at 45% for Trump and 47% for Biden, well within the poll’s margin of error. It was published in Rasmussen’s weekly “White House Watch” feature.

Separately, Rasmussen said that Trump has boosted his approval rating to 49%, with 50% of respondents disapproving.

What’s more, at this stage of his presidency, former President Barack Obama also had a 49% approval rating and went on to win reelection with 51% of the vote.

Unlike some polls that undercount Republicans and survey adults or registered voters, Rasmussen slightly overcounts Democrats and polls likely voters, which is considered more accurate.

Trump could actually be in better shape based on his generally praised performance Tuesday at his first coronavirus press briefing in months.

Meanwhile, Biden popped up yesterday and starting mumbling again, sheesh. People are beginning to notice his mental decline and inability to even walk properly.

I still maintain COVID 19 is Joe’s running mate. I am hoping and praying that what we are seeing is just a small surge, and that the deaths will flatten again, soon.

I believe neck and neck more than a 15 point Biden lead, but think Trump is doing even better than that. Just my (sizable) gut.

That’s ok by me...the Dems and Bidens family knew his condition so however this plays out they’re all guilty of elder abuse.

Trump IMHO is in zero danger. Never once felt he was.

Manufactured chaos isn’t working, in fact it is further galvanizing folks to do NO MORE in greater numbers than. 16

With all the negative media, I’m encouraged by Trump’s approval numbers.

The choice between Trump and Biden is crystal clear.

Trump in a landslide.

I’m worried about older voters abandoning Trump because of COVID 19, but this new ad aimed at seniors is great.

Time is not on Joe’s side. And I think President Trump is barely campaigning yet. Between the Conventions, the debates, the rallies and the media ads, I’d say landslide is pretty definite.

an old geezer in mental decline, racist, pervert, possibly involved in criminal activity with burisma, who has done exactly Zero for this country is neck and neck with a president who has accomplished historic achievements in practically everything he has set out to accomplish?

Kinda hard to believe it’s anywhere close- IF it truly is, then there is something seriously wrong with this country- but again- it’s highly doubtful he’s even anywhere close to Trump’s actual numbers

I can handle a neck in neck report.....fair enough at this juncture.....and still think Trump has it for 2020.

Pray. Pray constantly that God will aid us, even though we’ve murdered tens of millions of babies.

Biden is irrelevant. He’s a stalking horse. The depraved, degenerate, loathsome skank they really want for president will run as Biden’s vice president. If they win, they’ll move Biden out of the way and let the Satanic whore slide into our White House.

Well of course there’s something seriously wrong in this country.....too many voters are dingbats to say the least. They approach voting like it’s a popularity contest rather than an agenda.

I think you’re right but I also understand how fickle voters are...

They wanted Biden at the head, because they knew that GOP 1.0ers would prefer him over Trump. And so far that seems to have come to fruition.

Well if for some odd reason Trump doesn’t win..God still is the one who sets rulers in place and we just may fall under his judgement as a nation if they win.
