Theft requires close polls...as close as money can buy.

President Biden and former President Donald Trump are locked in a statistical tie as they gear up for the first of two scheduled debates next month, but nearly one-fifth of voters say they could still change their mind about for whom they ultimately pull the lever.
In a one-on-one matchup, Biden garnered 48% support to Trump’s 47%, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released Wednesday.
Last month, the survey found Trump and Biden in a flat-footed tie, with each receiving 46% support.
Despite the incumbent’s lead, history suggests the margin would be tight enough for Trump to secure victory in the Electoral College. In 2016, the Republican lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by 2.1%, but racked up 304 electoral votes to become the 45th president.
The poll also indicates that third-party candidates might take a bigger bite out of Trump than Biden.
With independent and Green Party candidates in the polling mix, Biden slips to 41% — a decrease of seven points — while Trump’s support falls to just 38%, a nine-point decline.
In a five-way matchup, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. scoops up 14% support***
Among polled voters in the five-person race, 19% said it was either very likely (3%) or somewhat likely (16%) that they might change their mind about who to support before the election.
However, Trump held a distinct advantage among that cohort.
Just 8% of supporters of the 45th president said they were somewhat likely to change their minds with none saying they were “very likely” to switch, while 15% of Biden backers said a switch was either very likely (3%) or somewhat likely (12%).

“In a one-on-one matchup, Biden garnered 48% support to Trump’s 47%, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released Wednesday.”
They had it Biden 50-44 three months ago.
Also this is registered voters, not likely voters.
Take your perception of what the average American voter knows. Divide by four. Subtract 31%.
Add alcohol and drugs.
No. It speaks volumes about the number of people the rats have got to suck on the government teat.
Good one!
Biden ahead?
Musta polled the Biden Crime Family exclusively.
Am I reading this right. The 18-34 age group has Trump a point up. If Trump can swing some of the black male vote. Biden is fake toast.

Those people are beeping out a flatline, loud and clear and annoying. Quick! The paddles! Code blue!
Only 8% of Trump voters were somewhat likely. Biden voters 15% somewhat or very likely. So on this question, Trump does better than Biden. Don’t get that impression from the headline though do you.

Hillary and Newsom are waiting in the wings to take the starring role in this tragicomedy.
The debate should make it clear that Biden has advanced dementia and isn’t fit to hold the office of POTUS. No amount of gas lighting, lies and obfuscation by the media will cover Biden’s deteriorating mental state. I expect for the debate Biden will be juiced up and turned into the glassy eyed belligerent zombie Biden who rants, pounds the podium and performs like Hitler did in his speeches.
Quinnipiac polls. Less than useless.
Really, this is a joke of both a “poll” and an “article”.
Or perhaps Michelle Obama. No matter who is selected, they will be championed as the “Savior of Democracy!” [Constitutional Republic]
“But dear LORD - how can anyone with half a brain, even if they totally HATE Donald J. Trump, even intellectually ascent to casting a vote for Joe Biden?”
Most people don’t see the Biden we do. What very little nees they do watch is left-leaning. Garbage in, garbage out.
The same people running these polls are the same ones running around with Hamas and shouting death to Israel and America.
And yet people are gullible enough to believe them. Even when they see the turnout for Trump vs Biden events people still believe these polls. Even when they see black voters turning to Trump in large numbers then they still believe these polls.
Stupid.
Thankfully Biden is too stubborn to step aside as Newsome would regain the stupid kid vote and pick up 5-7% in the polls.
Votes and voters are irrelevant - like last time, its who counts the ballots and how many times they count the same ballots. Every ballot must be counted, regardless of who casts them, at least once.
