I know, I know... It's just one more, of so many, general election polls showing Biden doing better than our other top candidates against Trump...

Looking ahead to the 2020 general election that’s still more than 270 days away, the NBC/WSJ poll shows former Vice President Joe Biden leading Trump nationally by 6 points among registered voters, 50 percent to 44 percent — though that’s down from Biden’s 9-point advantage in October.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is ahead of Trump by 4 points, 49 percent to 45 percent — a drop from Sanders’ 7-point lead in July.

When the poll narrows the matchup to include only respondents from 11 battleground states — Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — Biden’s lead over Trump is 5 points, 49 percent to 44 percent.

Sanders’ advantage in those states is 3 points (49 percent to 46 percent), and Warren and Buttigieg hold 1-point deficits to Trump (Trump 49 percent, Warren 48 percent; Trump 47 percent, Buttigieg 46 percent).

1. So everyone beats trump...good

[highplainsdem]

3. Very unlikely all out candidates could beat him. It's smartest to go with the one who

consistently beats him by the widest margin, and that's been Biden, for about a year now.

6. Not that simple

Biden's lead is barely enough. Everyone else is, at best, in a tie or outright losing

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Assuming the EC map stays the same as 2016, we only need to flip 2-3 Trump states

So that battleground state aggregate is quite misleading- we can lose Florida if we flip PA And the narrowly lost Rust Belt, and vice versa, if we Flip Florida, we only need one other state, so a poll of all 11 states is meaningless.

[highplainsdem]

4. And if we flip Texas, which some polls have shown Biden could do...

[Iliyah]

5. There is that low 40% again . . .

To be honest, I believe it is much lower . .

And the Dems are much higher and after the bullshit votes from the sham trial, it will get even higher and so on ..

Effed up illegal person in the WH will do many evil things before the elections. Evil.

He's also given the green light to court for foreign countries that are hostile to the USA to meddle in our future elections.

We must come out in huge number and vote.

7. after all the bullcrap, it's still that close? Holy shit

[KPN]

8. It's mind boggling to me, almost inconceivable that

TRump and Republicans are only 5-6 points behind in any poll!

I would say What the fuck is wrong with us?!! But I know what is wrong. Racists, religious zealots, misogynists coupled with
extreme avarice and a despot.

Can Oregon just cede from evilocracy now? Please?

9. How do polls account for 5% of the population too embarrassed to say they'll vote for Trump.

But in the privacy of the voting booth they’ll vote for Trump.

[highplainsdem]

11. No way they can account for people who'll lie. And whether or not anyone is lying, it's wisest to

choose the candidate who polls best against Trump to be our nominee.

[MANative]

10. Once again, utterly meaningless

EC count is the only thing that matters.
