Following President Trump’s announcement of a U.S. Supreme Court nominee just weeks before Election Day, Democrat Joe Biden has jumped out to an eight-point lead in Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey. The survey does not include reaction to last night’s first Trump-Biden debate.

The latest national telephone and online survey finds Biden leading President Trump 51% to 43% among Likely U.S. Voters. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate. Another three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The race had narrowed over the previous three weeks, but Biden has now cleared the 50% mark for the first time. Trump’s latest showing is his lowest since early August.

The president took his first lead two weeks ago, 47% to 46%, but Biden inched back ahead 48% to 47% last week.

1. This is the only poll FOX News has been citing

FOX News hasn't even been using the FOX News polls but sparsely. I think they'll ignore this altogether as Rasmussen has an uncanny way of coming out with another poll the very next day after a bad one for Trump. Will probably be 49-46 tomorrow and then OX will claim the debate helped Trump.

2. Don't take the bait from Rasmussen

Note that this is a pre debate poll. He's going to come up with a post debate poll with Trump ahead.
The narrative will be that Trump won the debate. And we won't be able to criticize rasmussen and because we touted his pre debate poll.
