Trending: Trump tops Biden, 48% to 47%, with 52% approval rating
Washington Examiner ^ | October 26, 2020 | by Paul Bedard

Posted on 10/26/2020 8:51:45 AM PDT by Hojczyk

As the election season enters its last week, President Trump is on the move, ahead of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Monday’s debut of the daily Rasmussen Reports head-to-head poll.

In its now daily White House Watch, Rasmussen has Trump at 48% and Biden at 47%, the latest sign that the election has tightened in the 11th hour.

What’s more, the pollster Trump prefers to follow and tout has his approval rating at 52%, a key factor to winning reelection. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama were both at 50% when they edged out reelection victories.

The poll data showed Trump building an unusual coalition. For example, 27% of black people said they would choose the president if the election were held today. In 2016, he won 8% of the black vote.

Also, Trump is doing better with Republicans than Biden is with Democrats. Rasmussen said that 84% of Republicans would choose Trump, while 77% of Democrats would vote for Biden.

Which means the POTUS is probably up by 8.

Polling should be illegal, punishable by a minimum of 5 years in federal prison. The left has weaponized it which now makes it worthless.


Well said.

I hope you’re the one who’s right. Red California would be the biggest slap down ever!

It says something about America IF Biden is truly anywhere close in the polls to Trump.
It says half of America is either kind of stupid or really stupid.
And or heavily medicated (legal or otherwise)
And or on the take?

So much enthusiasm I marked my ballot for Trump with a five pound hammer and steel punch.

based on this poll, trump is 3 points ahead of where he was with hillary at this same time during 2016, and given that this is a national poll and the poll-skew caused by many trump supporters who have made themselves impossible to poll, it’s likely that trump is comfortably ahead in most, and maybe all red states ...

If the rumors are true, Hunter ODed over the weekend.

So that would make sense that a senile old man would be pretty much out of it

What is strange with this poll is that is came out after the weekend. Usually those polls are “bad news” for GOP.

“Trump is doing better with Republicans than Biden is with Democrats.”

There’s not a single Socialist Democrat that I know in Real Life that is the least little bit enthused about Biden. One said the other day, ‘Well, I like Biden’s calm personality better than Trumps!’ I said, ‘Calm? Try COMATOSE, LOL!’

The hard-core Commies LOVE ‘Heels Up’ Harris, though.

I hope voting for Biden is as painful for them as voting for McCain or Romney was for ME!

But, Party and Power first, so they probably don’t care...

Pennsylvania [New York Times Report] - Trump carrying 24% of Philly.

If President Trump carries 24%+ of Philadelphia voters, barring massive fraud, he will win PA easily.https://t.co/IoDfKJ8VEp pic.twitter.com/IkKltDUcT3— TheLastRefuge (@TheLastRefuge2) October 26, 2020

I think that is a good guess. Landslide numbers.

He will easily have over 90%. But Reagan won with 88% of the GOP vote. He had many Democrats voting for him.

If Trump takes 27% of the black vote, the democrats are not just toast, they’re burnt toast.

Burnt toast? HA! They aren't even bread anymore!
