Trump widens lead on Biden after debate in highly anticipated poll

Source: The Hill

Former President Trump has expanded his lead over President Biden in the aftermath of last week’s debate to 6 points, up from 3 just a week prior, according to a much-anticipated New York Times/Siena College poll.

The poll showed Trump leading Biden with 49 percent support to the incumbent’s 43 percent among likely voters, holding the largest lead he has had in a Times/Siena poll since 2015. Among registered voters, Trump’s lead expands to 8 points, 49 percent to 41 percent.

Better indicators…Dems over performing in elections since the midterms, the midterm outcomes…over performing there too.
And the small donor take by Biden following the debate. Ppl don’t donate to a candidate they aren’t planning on voting for.

For some polls, there is a deliberate psychology goal of discouraging one side. I remember all the RW polls and some "neutral" media pundits who proclaimed that Obama would lose re-election in 2012.

And everyone I talked to about polling this week….and I’d say that was about 40 or so guaranteed Biden voters….and interestingly, none of them were polled either…..so who are “they” polling?

It will take a lot to attack the chilling reality in the link. He really has to decide if his health will allow that. That is the issue. He will have to explain to stupid voters. No downtime

He has not done any campaigning for 5 days.

Biden has to up his game. He really has trouble attacking on BS issues with long sentences and for a lengthy period. It is that time . He has to do it. That is the sad fact of our screwed up election and constitution. Constitution allowed Supreme Court to destroy our democracy on July 1st, 2024.

Hopefully, he is pissed and we may see a different Biden. Wounded tiger syndrome.

Please note. Not all Democrats are attacking Biden's age (and fewer are idiots), but honestly concerned about possible health issues. Some however, specifically mention his age and poor polling. WTAF.

Biden's age has nothing to do with it.
