Biden leads Trump by 'landslide proportions' in new national poll
BY JONATHAN EASLEY - 06/11/19 02:22 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Trump by 13 points nationally according to the latest Quinnipiac University survey.

In a national head-to-head matchup, the poll found Biden taking 53 percent against 40 percent for Trump, with the poll's assistant director describing it as a "landslide" margin.

Five other Democratic contenders also lead the president: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) hold healthy leads over Trump, with Sanders up by 9 points, Harris ahead by 8 and Warren leading by 7.

South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) lead Trump by 5 points, with each posting a 47 to 42 split.

“It’s a long 17 months to Election Day, but Joe Biden is ahead by landslide proportions,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

1. This must feel like fiery electrodes on Trump's little family jewels....

Good.

3. Is this the same landslide proportions by which HRC was beating him in 2016? NT

4. +1. n/t

[groundloop]

5. Well, winning by over 3 MILLION votes IS pretty good....

except we still have that damned archaic 'electoral college' (which was initiated to appease slave states). And of course it's far easier to manipulate an election of you only have to influence 2 or 3 key states.

9. I believe if voter suppression wasnt in play, Hillary would have won by 10 million.

Or more. There are many voters who get shut out in a multitude of ways.

One common Repug tactic is to challenge a large group of registrations to get them thrown out just before an election. And it takes too long for many of those to reinstate themselves.

10. But among women, Biden leads by 26 points, 60 to 34.

These women are sick of the crude blabbermouth Trump.


......“It’s a long 17 months to Election Day, but Joe Biden is ahead by landslide proportions,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Biden’s double-digit lead over Trump is largely driven by the gender gap. The former vice president edges Trump 47 percent to 46 among men. But among women, Biden leads by 26 points, 60 to 34.

Similarly, white voters are split evenly between the two, with Trump at 47 percent and Biden at 46. But Biden leads 85 to 12 among black voters and 58 to 33 among Hispanics.

Both candidates surpass 90 percent support from within their own parties, but independents break for Biden by a 58 to 28 margin.
