WASHINGTON — Joe Biden’s national lead over President Donald Trump nearly doubled after Tuesday’s presidential debate, with voters saying by a 2-to-1 margin that Biden has the better temperament to be president, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

The poll was conducted in the two days after the unruly and insult-filled Sept. 29 debate, but before Trump tested positive for Covid-19 and was hospitalized Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The Democratic nominee is now ahead of Trump by 14 points among registered voters, 53 percent to 39 percent — up from his 8-point lead in the previous poll before the debate.

That 14-point advantage represents Biden’s largest lead in the NBC News/WSJ poll during the entirety of the 2020 presidential campaign; his previous high was 11 points in July.

9. Interesting, thanks for posting.

Race relations, women and especially temperament are Biden’s strongest, vs trump’s economy.

[Lock him up.]

12. So 48% think the orange criminal is better for the economy??

Have they not figured out that once he cuts SS the economy will collapse and at least 50 million seniors will DIE starving and/or freezing to DEATH yet?

22. Amazing how easily people are fooled.

Prior to Covid the market was high b/c companies were taking out loans to buy their own stock back at ATH's. So executives could could get huge bonuses. Forcing the bank repo market to have to be propped up by the Federal reserve.

The economy has never been strong under Chump.

5. We need Benedict Donald ALIVE in early November to watch his own humiliation.

And afterwards so he can spend the rest of his miserable life at the Federal Supermax in Florence, CO.

19. A nice thought, to be sure.

But not just Trump. There have been so many crimes, and Miller DEFINITELY needs to be indicted for crimes against humanity, and all these for profit prison people who have been brutalizing the children ripped from their parents' arms. I won't be forgetting that. There had BETTER be fucking TRIALS.

This is dead serious. America cannot tolerate what has been done to these people who came here in good faith seeking asylum. I have grandchildren, and every time I look at one of them, I think of these poor children who were taken from their parents by ICE and thrown in these for-profit cages, with their parents deported and NO PLAN AT ALL to track these families in order to reunite them in the future. This is genocide. It isn't OK. It isn't funny. It is a crime. And it needs to be redressed.

We need to spare no expense in caring for these children, finding their families, and making reparations to them. And WE are responsible for caring for those traumatized children for the rest of their lives.

And, the people who are responsible for making this horror happen, down to the meanest cruel guard, need to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. We did not accept the excuse that, "I was just following orders," from the guards at Auschwitz and Dachau, and we should not accept it from Trump's administration, the Department of Homeland Security, ICE/CBP, and the private for-profit concentration camp managers and guards. And the fucking ACCOUNTANTS.

6. Don't forget...

Polls don't mean JACK if we don't actually VOTE. VOTE LIKE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT. (They do)

[eppur_se_muova]

7. Oh, please make it to 20% -- I want to see 45 skunked like no one has ever been skunked before. nt

[catsudon]

14. yep

remember clinton was ahead too, we can not be complacent

[beachbumbob]

8. trump just crashed the 39% level death of GOP

[Stuart G]

10. Thank You For Posting this. Trump's political future will end on November 3, sometime around

9pm ET. Maybe after the Florida polls close. It will be that simple. As far as Trumps decisions from
November 3 to January 21 we don't know. Perhaps he will do very little and listen to the electorate who
soundly defeated him. Who knows?...I don't know nothing.

[Firestorm49]

11. All that matters is Election Day.

[Bayard]

13. Didn't ask:

Which candidate was more likely to get Covid? Which is more reckless and un-empathetic?

[onetexan]

15. dunno but i'd like to thank the covid goddess for Biden's good fortune. Nothing seems to have taken

the Con down except covid. He's now lower in the polls than he was prior to coming down w it.

[ucrdem]

16. Yay!

That will be hard to meddle with, though of course, they will try.

[PatrickforO]

17. So, our mission, and we will DEFINITELY accept it, is to show up at the polls in droves

and cast out not only Trump and his crime family, but his Republican enablers at the national, state and local levels.

Let's be serious here, folks! We can do this!

Steady...

[SWBTATTReg]

18. No one is falling for the moronic PINO's crap anymore. Get the POS out of office now before he

kills us all.

[BlueWavePsych]

20. Woohoo!

[flamingdem]

21. They can't steal it now

So I recommend that tRump supporters just stay at home on Nov 3 and get drunk!

[ProfessorGAC]

23. "...which I clearly won..."

Hey, Donnie-boy!
When your deficit gets worse after the debate, you didn't win.
Hope that clears things up for you.

[CTyankee]

24. The debate just nailed the case shut for Biden. Folks were looking to hear how Biden was going to

handle Trump and saw the shocking difference in the two men. Women, in particular, saw a snarling, ugly man vs. a caring, decent man. In effect, those watching just witnessed Biden get elected president...

[Cha]

25. So, trump, how did that debate prep go for you with

Christy & was it Bill Stepien, too?
