POLITICS Trump's national lead over Biden grows — CBS News poll By Anthony Salvanto, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna
Updated on: July 18, 2024 / 5:40 PM EDT / CBS News
When former President Donald Trump accepts the Republican nomination Thursday night, he'll do so with his largest national lead over President Biden in the campaign thus far.
A slight majority, including some who aren't voting for him, say Trump's words in the days since the assassination attempt have been more unifying than divisive. Voters feel the same way about Mr. Biden's response to the tragic events, too.
But it is Trump with the growing advantage in the vote. Trump is up five points nationally now, and three across the key battleground states. To put that national lead in context: it's been 20 years since a Republican presidential candidate has won the national popular vote, and over 30 years since a Republican won by more than five.
The race across the battlegrounds moved one point more toward Trump today since we surveyed the battlegrounds last week.
For voters, Trump's perceived handling of the assassination attempt is a net-positive reason to consider voting for him, but that effect is limited overall; for two-thirds, it has not changed their consideration calculus either way.
Of the candidates atop the party tickets, Trump is the one more voters feel fights "a lot" for people like them.

52%T/50%B.....That’s 102%.
Hard to tell what is real and what is not in these polls. We know that the left wants Biden gone.
and when Winnie The Pooh replaces Biden they’ll say Winnie The Pooh is leading Trump by 70% ,LOL
“...and when Winnie The Pooh replaces Biden they’ll say Winnie The Pooh is leading Trump by 70%. LOL.”
I still remember how we had to put up with their crap forty years ago. They released polls in the spring saying Mondale or Gary Hart would beat Reagan. Then no more polls, but every move Mondale made from Geraldine Ferraro to saying he would raise taxes was acclaimed as hugely popular political genius.
DEI math.
Does it matter when Biden might be dropping out by this weekend?
Correction, those are mistated numbers. It was 52% Trump, 47% Biden.
The fact that the commies want Biden gone is because those internal polling are HORRENDOUS and they Plan B failed. If Trump had been assassinated they would be celebrating from the rooftops and it would be the GOP that would be in disarray with no nominee that is what they wanted
Xi Jinping? I doubt it.
The real Pooh.
Math is hard.
Supposedly the numbers have changed only minutely since June 27 (the debate), which means either that the pro-Biden people hate Trump so much that nothing else matters, or that the pollsters are lying to us.
They’re figuring in the cheating
“The fact that the commies want Biden gone is because those internal polling are HORRENDOUS and they Plan B failed. If Trump had been assassinated they would be celebrating from the rooftops and it would be the GOP that would be in disarray with no nominee that is what they wanted”
That very well could be true. Needs repeating.
All of the numbers have been twisted to put the best light they could for the DEMs.
It’s a given that the pollsters are lying.
I thought Trump wasn’t going to get 50% or more against Biden according to some freepers here.

And his honey. Just as I would ... if I had a honey. :(
