Democratic presidential nominee Joe Bidens national polling lead over President Trump has shrunk after this weeks Republican National Convention, according to a new Morning Consult survey released Saturday.
The Morning Consult poll, conducted Friday, showed Biden leading with 50 percent support among likely voters, compared with 44 percent for Trump, with another 7 percent undecided. Thats a narrower margin than the 52-42 lead he had in the same poll on Aug. 23, the day before the Republican Convention kicked off.
The narrowing stands in contrast with a similar poll conducted after last weeks Democratic National Convention, which showed that Bidens lead over Trump was statistically unchanged. Biden still holds a larger lead over Trump than Hillary Clinton did after the 2016 conventions.

I’m sure you helped. It was my personal opinion.
Hidin’ Biden be slidin’.
What lead?
Biden +6 still ? What a crock of Obama.
Here are the facts
RNC was watched by 45 million more views when C-span, OAN,
and all the internet streams are added up from Twitter, RNC, Facebook, Youtube feeds. That is 45 million more views than Biden got. That is about 3x the vote Trump got last election which means a lot of people who’s vote is up for grabs watched a very well done convention.
I watched RSBN which average 250k per night for the convention.
Fake news including Fox take note, we right wingers won’t
won’t watch you we prefer no opinions just the convention
stream sans the BS.
I am not hearing of any IBD/TIPP polls this election season. Have they been silenced ?
I am extremely suspicious of a poll without the methods and retrieved data sets.
They do not say how many or more importantly, percentages of democrats, Republicans and Independents they used. That has a HUGE impact on any poll, and hiding this information leads me to believe that had more democrats than the voting percentages dictate.
How do they do this?
Well, back in 2016, the last PRESIDENTIAL vote, the actual vote numbers for dems and Reps was even.
Actually, I found this from the 2016 election:
The most recent Gallup data shows that 42 percent of people identify as independents, and more identify as Republican than Democrat, 30 percent to 27 percent.
So, what if the Morning Consult poll had 38 % democrats, 30 % Republicans, and the rest independent?
You'd then get Joe Biden slightly ahead.
How they get away with it:
There was another national election in 2018. Trump wasn't on the ballot, and fewer Republicans voted. Morning Consult could use THOSE numbers to get the results they wanted, and innocently say their percentages were from the actual voting statistics.
Pretty clever, but terribly misleading and inaccurate.
Morning Consult, release your numbers, including percentage of party! That or you're all frauds!!!
They have to always show Biden in the lead so that when all of the harvested ballots and other assorted voter fraud kicks in, it looks like it’s expected.
They could be looking at some primary numbers. We had a primary vote last week in CT. Kind of useless at this point. My town is basically equal number of registered Dems/Repubs, with 30% Independents. About 5% turnout. Biden got about 740 votes to 430 votes for Trump. Who can figure.
The fake pollsters will keep this line of crap going right up to Nov 3rd trying to discourage Trump supporters.
Sloe Joe has NEVER had a lead over President Trump!
Except in the twisted minds of the LIEberal press!
I have selected Biden in no less than 3 polls and will continue to mislead them
Were you polled by a live person or robocall?
And to help them push a narrative?
“...I did Twice and I told them Biden twice. Friends in Florida the same...”
WHY????
I told a pollster several weeks ago that if all four of my limbs were broken I would crawl through 5 miles of broken glass to vote for Trump. Not what they wanted to hear.
