Biden Takes Dominant Lead as Voters Reject Trump on Virus and Race

A New York Times/Siena College poll finds that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is ahead of the president by 14 points, leading among women and nonwhite voters and cutting into his support with white voters.

Joseph R. Biden Jr. has taken a commanding lead over President Trump in the 2020 race, building a wide advantage among women and nonwhite voters and making deep inroads with some traditionally Republican-leaning groups that have shifted away from Mr. Trump following his ineffective response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new national poll of registered voters by The New York Times and Siena College.

Mr. Biden is currently ahead of Mr. Trump by 14 percentage points, garnering 50 percent of the vote compared with 36 percent for Mr. Trump. That is among the most dismal showings of Mr. Trump’s presidency, and a sign that he is the clear underdog right now in his fight for a second term.

Mr. Trump has been an unpopular president for virtually his entire time in office. He has made few efforts since his election in 2016 to broaden his support beyond the right-wing base that vaulted him into office with only 46 percent of the popular vote and a modest victory in the Electoral College.

But among a striking cross-section of voters, the distaste for Mr. Trump has deepened as his administration failed to stop a deadly disease that crippled the economy and then as he responded to a wave of racial-justice protests with angry bluster and militaristic threats. The dominant picture that emerges from the poll is of a country ready to reject a president whom a strong majority of voters regard as failing the greatest tests confronting his administration.

3. Remember 2016.

The national popular vote is irrelevant.

Polls this far out are very nearly meaningless.

This is no time to become complacent.

Are you fucking kidding me?????????????????
That line sounds like a *resident who actually made an attempt to confront the challenges.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

What we have is a traitorous, fucking incompetent FUCKING IMBECILE who is not only WHOLLY OWNED by the Russians and Chinese, but also a MONUMENTAL FAILURE of EPIC proportions. An IDIOT incapable of solving any problem larger than a fart in a phone booth.
A buffoonish ignoramus who has FAILED at EVERY FUCKING THING he's ever attempted in his pathetic life.

Well, except ONE THING.

RACISM.
This is the one true thing about Dotard that stands head and shoulders above all else. His infantile fear of "colored" people.

WHAT. A. DISGUSTING. SUB. HUMAN. PIG. DOTARD. IS....................................

6. The national polls are reflected in the swing state polls

so they are not irrelevant. Especially since

1. Double digig lead
2. Numerous polls 45 percent and over
3. Trump less than 40 percent, dropping to the mid-30s.

No time to be complacent but to snowball this blue wave (sorry for the mixed metaphors) to an overwhelming majority.

House and Senate majroties are needed to clean up the mess that will be left by this miserable excuse for a human being who sits in a seat way to big for him (especially his hands).

Biden will drum himout of office!
