A surge in coronavirus cases has damaged Donald Trump’s re-election campaign in Wisconsin, with growing criticism of his work on the pandemic and preference for Joe Biden to handle it. Biden holds a slighter advantage in Michigan, with sizable leads among women, moderates and independents in ABC News/Washington Post polls in both states.
Biden leads Trump by 57-40 percent among likely voters in Wisconsin, a state that’s now reported to be third in the nation in per capita COVID-19 cases, with a 53 percent increase in average daily cases in the past two weeks, a record number of hospitalizations and a 112 percent jump in deaths. That compares with a closer 52-46 percent in mid-September.
In Michigan, it’s 51-44 percent, Biden-Trump, among likely voters, a slight Biden lead in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. The Senate race there stands at 52 percent for incumbent Democrat Gary Peters vs. 46 percent for Republican John James, not a statistically significant differenc
Laugh O The Day, Laz. Thar’s more in them thar hills. After all, it is a Free Republic...not a REEEEEEEE Republic.
Thanks to every poster. MAGALAZKAG BUMP!
T minus 6 and counting.
Ready - Aim - Vote
If he was really up 17 freaking points, there’s no reason to even think about campaigning there.
I agree with both of you - and ABC/WaPo probably do too - but desperation drives the to try something even if it means pouring gas on their burning homes to try to save them.
The sample is hinky. Oversample of young people, who are least likely to vote. Includes a chunk of registered voters.
Does anyone with a room temperature IQ think Joe Biden’s “plan” for anything will work?
Partisan divisions – Democrats-Republicans-independents – are 30-27-36 percent among registered voters and 32-28-34 percent among likely voters in Michigan and 30-26-38 percent
among registered voters and 31-27-36 percent among likely voters in Wisconsin.
Over sample of democRATS and independent
They are pre-adjusting for massive voter fraud.
I don’t believe it’s +17 for a minute. But it only takes +1 in the end, so if the actual number is closer to +3 or +4, there’s still work to do.
Thankfully, Trump is out there doing it.
I’ve said for months that Biden has much better ads. And from what I understand they air much more often. Now some people on FR seem to think that means nothing, and if it were just a matter of frequency I might believe that, but you can’t tell me a well crafted ad doesn’t have some effect on a clueless swing voter, especially when the other side is not responding as effectively with their own ads.
Did they ask actual people, or did they just pull the numbers out of thin air? It’s so much easier that way.
So voters in WI prefer a racist, corrupt pedophile who is too cowardly to come out of his basement to handle the virus. How absurd. This poll is BS and is nothing more than wishful thinking by the commie media. May they rot in hell.
Wow, I bet Tom Bevan and his Real Clear Politic joke of a company won’t question the validity of these polls.
Fantasy land ...
Which one’s the Pub?
Bingo! They just make the numbers up.
Fear is a powerful emotion.
Concur. We are watching the very definition of desperation.
Yes, Biden’s air war is second to none. He is running one excellent ad after another and has dominated and been in complete control of the messaging throughout the campaign with little response from the opposition and on some media fronts, not at all. Biden is running these ads not just in local markets, but nationally on the subchannels viewed collectively by many millions of people with absolutely no competing message from the other side and these channels are probably viewed by those who are most likely to vote. Biden has defined himself entirely on his own with all of these people and framed the perception of Trump’s “failed” policies on his own terms entirely, and how he has the bold vision to fix the chaos caused by Trump. That is the “truth” to a huge portion of the voting public...and it didn’t have to be.
“Biden scandal not moving one single voter”
But blaming Coronavirus on Trump the last few days is moving mass numbers. Ok.
