Biden up 8 Nationally in new National Poll

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/491822-biden-leads-trump-by-8-points-in-quinnipiac-poll


Former Vice President Joe Biden is leading President Trump by 8 points among voters nationwide, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday.

The survey shows Biden with the support of 49 percent of voters, while Trump trails at 41 percent. The former vice president also leads Trump with key voting blocs, including independents, women and black voters, according to the poll.

Still, the poll shows Trump with his highest approval rating since at least last fall. Forty-five percent of respondents said they approve of the job Trump is doing in office, up 4 points from 41 percent last month and 7 points from his low of 38 percent in October.



Even with Trumps higher approval he is still getting squashed

They 8 point margin will be razor thin by November.

I hope I’m wrong. I’m preparing for the worst, working for Biden for the best.

the states that went for Hillary, but also in a lot of the swing-states we lost in 2016.

We should also see if we can flip a couple of red red outs. I’d love to see the Good Guys flip North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia. Winning Texas and Florida would be nice, too.

The election is a series of 50 state elections, and among those 50 state elections, five states, FLA, PA, OH, MI, and WISC will decide the election.
