• 55% of Democratic voters said Hunter Biden’s ties to Burisma Holdings would have no impact on their vote in 2020.

•32% of Democratic primary voters back the former vice president as their first-choice candidate, unchanged since mid-September.

• 41% of Democratic voters said Biden has the best chance to beat Trump, unchanged since a poll conducted after the Houston

President Donald Trump’s allegations of impropriety against Joe Biden over his son’s business ties in Ukraine aren’t moving the needle with Democratic voters, at least not yet.

A new Morning Consult/Politico poll, conducted Sept. 27-30 among 2,488 registered voters, found 55 percent of Democrats said Hunter Biden’s former role as a board member at Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company, would have no impact on their plans for 2020.

And while 15 percent said the work by Biden’s son would make them less likely to vote for the former vice president, 13 percent said it made them more likely to do so.

2. But is it moving the independents?

I realize someone has to win in the primaries first, but when it comes down to it, because of the motherfucking electoral college, our Presidents are chosen by swing voters in swing states.

Joe Biden has been under sustained assault from President Trump for more than two weeks.

But there’s little evidence that Biden has been significantly bloodied, according to a raft of new polls.

In more than a dozen state and national Democratic primary polls since Trump launched his near-daily fusillade of attacks accusing Biden and his son, Hunter, of corrupt business dealings in Ukraine, Biden’s standing has remained largely static.

“There’s nothing discernable to show Biden’s been punched in the nose over Ukraine,” said Tim Malloy, pollster with Quinnipiac University, which released a survey Tuesday showing Biden has lost no support from Democratic voters since its last poll released Sept. 25.

13. Was it ever suggested that these stories

Dems can recognize a snow job by Trump. No surprise there.

The nomination race will be won or lost for other reasons.
