Fox News poll: Biden's lead widens to 12 points over Trump

Source: The Hill

Former Vice President Joe Biden has opened up a 12 point lead over President Trump in the latest Fox News national poll, as a majority of voters say they disapprove of the president’s handling of the protests in response to the police killing of George Floyd.

The survey finds Biden at 50 percent and Trump at 38 percent. Biden led Trump 48 to 40 in the Fox News poll in mid-May. The former vice president has surpassed the 50 percent support mark in the RealClearPolitics average, where he leads Trump nearly 9 points overall.

Trump appears to be dragged down in the Fox News poll by his response to the civil unrest over police treatment of African Americans.

Fifty-six percent of voters said they disapprove of Trump’s response to the demonstrations, while 60 percent have positive views of the protests.

Have been consistently.

And it reflects others.

He had succeeded in rallying his base. Unfortunately, for him, he has alienated everyone else.

Polling the opinion of other pollsters to gauge accuracy seems an extraction from reality. But then I'm skeptical of experts. They can be most wrong when they are most certain. HRC could not lose.
