[DemocratSinceBirth]

Former Vice President Joseph Biden leads President Donald Trump 50 - 42 percent in the critical swing state of Ohio, the only leading Democratic candidate to top the Republican incumbent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

The other leading Democratic contenders each are locked in a dead heat with President Trump, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds:
46 percent for Trump to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 45 percent;
Trump at 46 percent to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 45 percent;
44 - 44 percent between Trump and California Sen. Kamala Harris;
44 - 44 percent between Trump and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg;
44 percent for Trump to 43 percent for New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.

1. And this is why although he's not my first choice, I hope he wins the nom.

I absolutely love Warren and she is who I would normally want to win the nom, but more than anything in the world, we need to get rid of the piece of shit occupying the WH. I think Biden is the best choice.

[TruckFump]

3. See below...this Harris supporter totally agrees with you.

We MUST unify that party, not allow splintering, and get the job done in 2020.

[MontanaFarmer]

6. I agree with both of you.

I think either Harris or Warren could defeat trump, and I'm holding to my support for Kamala, but if Biden is our nominee I'm going to send him as much $$ as i can, and do everything i can, to make sure he WILL beat trump. It's not optional for the country or the world.

[TruckFump]

8. 100% agreement on this.

I will do the same and while I still wish for Kamala to be Potus, I know that it is more important for this nation to get Trump out of the WH.

[TruckFump]

2. Goal for 2020:

Get the M/F'ing Orange Asshole out of the WH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I want a female POTUS and as much as I love Kamala, right now that is 2nd to removing Trump. PERIOD.

If Joe Biden can do this...then it's Joe Biden.

21. exactly, NO MATTER WHO, I'LL VOTE BLUE

[redstatebluegirl]

4. I love Joe Biden.

I have to admit I love Warren and Harris more and would love to see a woman in the White House but we MUST remove this plaque on our country. Biden will make a great President, he is not perfect, nobody is, but he is, but he has the experience we need right now and he can win the fly over states we need to put this nightmare to an end. He appeals to working class people in a way that the others just can't match right now. We can't risk losing this election!

If we start a circular firing squad during the primaries we will be in BIG trouble in November 2020.

[Stuart G]

11. You are correct. "We can't risk losing this election!" k and r that sentence.

[Kahuna7]

15. Not only does he have the experience but also a desire to do the right thing.

That's always a prerequisite for my vote.

[OliverQ]

18. No he doesn't.

He just made a comment that he's not sure he'd prosecute the Trump administration. That to me is disqualifying.

[Kahuna7]

19. A president is not supposed to advocate prosecuting a private citizen. That is

for the justice department to investigate and prosecute if needed. If trump had his way, Hillary Clinton would be in jail right now. But thankfully, it's not his call.

[OliverQ]

22. The DoJ would be under the control of Biden.

If Biden tells the DoJ not to prosecute Trump, that is a threat to America. The Trump administration needs to face criminal prosecution under the next administration. I'm fed up with criminals like Bush and Trump just getting away with everything.

[Kahuna7]

23. Whatever. If what you're saying is proper, Hillary would be in jail right

now.
It doesn't matter that you may want it or think it needs to be done. It would be improper for a president to do so.

Sessions wouldn't obey trump's order to investigate Hillary for prosecution. He relentlessly bashed Sessions because he wouldn't do it. Barr has insinuated that he may do it though. But he's a thug and may well trump something up against her. Yes, The justice department is under the control of the president. But the president doesn't get to tell the justice department what private citizen to prosecution.

I know Kamala said she would do it. But she isn't running for District Attorney. She's isn't running for Attorney General. She's running for president. I cringed when she said that. It was totally improper to say that and I saw that as a gaffe that will come back to bite her.

5. why do you refer to him as "Joe Pop?"

[texasfiddler]

7. We must beat Trump

I believe the polls. I am interested in supporting the Democrat who has the best shot at winning the rust belt states.

[SouthernProgressive]

9. Love the first couple of replies to the op.

I want to say that I am right there with them.

[Amimnoch]

10. Now this REALLY has me rethinking.

No president has been elected without Ohio's electoral votes since JFK.

Combine this one with the showing Biden had in Texas last month's poll, I'm really rethinking my main choice.

I pretty much discard the national polls now.. I think it should be obvious by now that just because a candidate has the majority of the country doesn't mean they can win the presidency. It's all about the swing states. Those are the polls I'm focusing on.

Still shocked as hell that Biden did so much better than Beto paired up against Trump in Texas last month. Now add Ohio to that mix and this becomes very important imo.

[Stuart G]

12. Attitudes could change in a year. Also, ...Anything can happen in a year.

And when I say, "anything" I mean ...anything!!!!

[Gothmog]

13. Ohio is a battleground state with Joe as the nominee

Link to tweet

[Demsrule86]

17. I have too...I live in Ohio...Trump is not popular.

[peggysue2]

14. This is an amazingly strong poll for Joe

The sort that will mess with Trump's head. It's also an indication that Biden has a wide appeal and embrace for 2020. If he can keep numbers like this in Ohio, he can definitely take back Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

AND THEN WE WIN.

Which is imperative above and beyond anything else this time out. Because Joe Biden has been right from the start--Donald Trump and his corrupt enablers are an existential threat to the United States and to every American who still has a conscience and can think clearly.

[Demsrule86]

16. This is reason to make Joe the nominee...if the pugs lose Ohio ...they are done...Ohio is

pretty pissed...we expanded medicare and like the ACA...Trump made promises that were lies and called out the Auto unions...blamed them for the closing of Lordstown...you can be that will be a commercial here.
