Trump Left in the Dust in Major New York Times Poll Showing Biden 14 Percentage Points Ahead
FALLING BEHIND

President Donald Trump trails presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 14 percentage points in the first New York Times/Sienna College poll of the 2020 election cycle. The numbers reveal the president is in deep trouble—they show that his personal popularity has plummeted as he’s failed to get a grip on the novel coronavirus pandemic and following his angry and militaristic response to police-brutality protests. Nearly three-fifths of voters surveyed said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, and only a third said the government should prioritize restarting the economy even if it exacerbates public-health risks. Sixty-one percent of voters said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of race issues, an a similar number disapproved of the president’s response to the protests against police over the killing of George Floyd. Overall, the poll shows Biden on 50 percent of the national vote, compared to just 36 percent for Trump.

Will he come out claiming he never told his people to reduce testing, or said he might reduce testing? This virus is the real dictator over trump now, and really kicking his ass. He likes to play both sides saying the opposite of what he said the day before, especially when he knows its hurting him. He may claim he never said that , and that its fake news again. Either way people are running from corrupt criminal serial liar trump and the GOP now, and he's self destructing every day he tweets , or speaks , dragging the GOP down with him.

lying, name calling, division and hate. He has no ability to adjust on the fly. His game is tired, stale, and getting older all the time. His worn out message is losing any appeal to even his own magats. His magats at his rallies are looking bored, and as low energy as he is. They look stupid, and he looks defeated in front of people as he delivers more of the same. America appears to finally be tiring of Donald Trump the uneducated, stupid, 12 year old bully.

Because you know Trump hate-reads the NYT. Claims it's fake news, but desperately wants nothing more than its approval.
