Let’s start by saying some of “the polls” don’t have a great track record as a predictor of who would become President of the United States in 2016. One of the biggest problems was how information from polls was sometimes cherrypicked and reported on the news. We’ve generally learned a lesson: Consume polls with a grain of salt.
That includes the information in this post.
With that in mind, it’s still interesting to look at some figures tracked by RealClearPolitics.
President Trump appears to lag in most every category and battleground state. But there’s a recent shift in trending. Joe Biden is now behind where Hillary Clinton scored on two key measures— and Clinton, as we know, lost.
First: The national polling average.
Biden is up 6.4 points over Trump in the national polling average on August 8— a healthy lead.
But Clinton was besting Trump by a bigger margin, 7.4 points, on August 8, 2016.
That puts Trump ahead of his place in 2016 by one percentage point, and on the positive side of his 2016 comparison for the first time since May 17.
Watch your Corn Hole,,,
Got it——Thanks!
Trump wins, America wins.
Trump loses, America loses.
It’s not complicated.
Trump will be Triumphant over Sleazy Joe on Election night.
Excellent... Good for you! I hope I get called by a pollster. I’ll tell them the same.
Yep and you already hear that from some jurnolists.
Okay, you might win that argument but Vermont leads the nation in per capita taxation. They may be nuttier in Maryland and California but if liberalism is defined as big government spending, Vermont is the most liberal.
But we also have some old, bedrock Yankee conservatives here. Many of them are involved in farming or lumbering.
