President Trump is drawing his weakest voter support of the year in his re-election race following Tuesday’s contentious debate with former Vice President Joe Biden, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.
Mr. Biden, the Democratic nominee, leads the president, 53% to 39%, among registered voters in the new poll, which was conducted in the two days following the debate but before news emerged that Mr. Trump had tested positive for Covid-19. Mr. Biden’s 14-point lead compares with an 8-point advantage last month and 11 points in July, which was his largest of the campaign at that time.
The survey finds something rare in Journal/NBC News polling: evidence that an individual news event—the debate—is having a material effect on Mr. Trump’s political standing, at least for now. Significant events in the past, such as Mr. Trump’s impeachment by the House and acquittal by the Senate, had only hardened views of the president, not shifted them.
Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster who directed the survey with Democrat Jeff Horwitt, cautioned that the poll was conducted during an unsettled moment after the caustic presidential debate—“a shock to the system,” he called it—and could reflect a temporary reassessment of views. “The public can be taking a moment to say, ‘What did I just see, and how do I feel about it?’” he said. Mr. Trump could regain ground, Mr. McInturff said, given that “he has a history of bouncing back to some set point.”

How many people are going to post the same D+9 poll???
FAKE NEWS!

These are the types of fake polls that make weak republicans go wobbly.
What they don’t tell you, NBC is in cahoots with the WSJ and Reuters hates Trump. Recent Zogby has it as a dead heat while IBD has Biden by a couple, Zogby and IBD were right on target four years ago.
An nbc poll?? Nope.
F Chuck Todd polled all his friends...
A bump from one single individual event will fade along with the memory of that event. Remember Romney the challenger spiked too after the first debate.
A look back in time.

Go away, troll. This has already been posted several times this morning.
