Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's lead over President Trump grew following last week's presidential debate and Trump's diagnosis with COVID-19, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

Biden now leads Trump by 8 percentage points, up two points since last week. Trump's share of independent voters fell, and his share of rural voters was cut in half — from 32 points to 16 points.

Since you had no comment on your post I can only hope you posted it to show what a joke polling is nowadays yes?

One Gallup polling question may be shedding light on this phenomenon. When asked who will win the election, voters responded as follows (emphasis added):

Majority of Americans Predict Trump Will Win Reelection

Regardless of whom they personally support, 56% of Americans expect Trump to prevail over Biden in the November election, while 40% think Biden will win. Although majorities of partisans think their party's candidate will win, Republicans are more likely to believe Trump will win (90%) than Democrats are to think Biden will (73%). Fifty-six percent of independents predict that Trump will win.

Right. We believe this poll. When are the Democrat trolls who post every bit of fake bad news going to realize their propaganda doesn’t work on us? Y’all are just wasting your time.

“illogical” ... without a doubt.

This is intended to demoralize Trump supporters and to energize the demonkraps supporters Many demonkraps won’t show up if they believe their guy is going to lose.

Fakebook and others have taken the position that they will not allow the declaration of (POTUS) victory until all the votes are counted. Why not enforce that on every election? Also, I have wondered why they don’t use their same logic and refuse to publish any pre-election poll as an attempt to manipulate the electorate?

Another coordinated attack against Trump with fake news stories and polls. How convenient.

They might mean his lead in rural voters went from +32 to +16. That could be true, given the Biden ads I am seeing on TV here in Western PA:

$7000 for parents for childcare
$14,000 for (1st time?) home down payments
$1200 more for SS recipients (/year?)

I have been voting in presidential elections since 1980. The last time I remember a republican being in the lead of the polls was Reagan in 1984. It seems the demonrats are always leading until they lose. A little bias in these polls me thinks.

Even Scott Rasmussen has become complete garbage as a pollster. 1200 RVs and 763 LVs? So almost half the people originally sampled were screened out as LVs. A national poll of 763 voters is total garbage. Stop being demoralized. There is plenty of good news out there and the VBM statistics are not looking good at all for Dems.

Well, using the logic of this poll as a guide, Trump’s share of the rural vote should come back again now that he’s coming out of the illness.

Won’t be long before Biden is up there where Hillary was before she lost the election to Trump. :)
