Joe Biden Suddenly Leads Donald Trump in Multiple Polls

Source: Newsweek

President Joe Biden is beating his Republican rival, Donald Trump, in multiple polls as the presidential election campaign begins in earnest.

A rematch between Trump, the former president, and Biden has been all but confirmed in the general election after former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley last week dropped out of the GOP primary, leaving Trump without opponents.

Since then, a series of polls have suggested Biden will narrowly beat Trump in the November vote. But with eight months to go, and the polls so tight, this could change and a number of polls have also indicated that Trump will win the election.

Happy for the outcome, but sad the way it comes about

Nothing has substantively changed, and nothing significant and new was revealed about either candidate

Hillary beat 45* by 3 million votes, yet the EC vote tally looked a bit lopsided towards 45*. Al Gore beat W. by a half million votes, yet W. was gifted the EC win.

Don't get complacent...... GET OUT THE VOTE.

offers two options with contradictory results: one asking who the Presidential election winner will be, which currently gives Trump a 1¢ edge; and one asking which party will win the Presidency, which currently gives the Democrats a 2¢ edge.

The Democrats can win even in the very unlikely event Biden must drop out.

We need a huge outcome to contradict the lies and fraud they will try to pull off.

As that NY Times poll.

It’s the start of the race right now. It’s a close race. Polls will start to mean something going forward.
