A recent survey of battleground states conducted for the Trump campaign by a leading Republican pollster, Tony Fabrizio, showed Mr. Biden handily beating Mr. Trump, according to three people briefed on the results. Senator Bernie Sanders did not fare as well against Mr. Trump in the poll, but also was besting Mr. Trump head-to-head in key states, these people said.

Separately, Republicans who are hoping to rescue Senator Martha McSally of Arizona, one of the party’s most imperiled incumbents, have found Mr. Biden leading Mr. Trump in that state, which no Democratic presidential candidate has carried since 1996.

Mr. Trump has been told about his campaign’s polling, although it was unclear how extensive a briefing he was given. Still, his aides and allies have urged him to stop throwing attention to Mr. Biden, arguing that it is better to have the Democrats fight it out and weaken one another over the course of their primary.

9. Bingo. nt

2. Some democrats, right here, already doing Trump's bidding - sad...

4. Skya Rhen Leave that kind of talk in 2016

If someone on DU criticizes a democratic candidate their criticism is either valid or invalid. If its valid, deal with it. If its invalid, refute it.

Just calling someone a stooge from Trump is counter productive.

5. People who are not doing Trump's bidding (ie weakening Dem candidates) need not be offended...

7. Democrats that are called proTrump

Are not likely to support your guy or any democrat. You are the one sowing division when you make emotional attacks. You are the one reducing the chances of democratic victory when you divide the party into us and them.

8. So, I am dividing the party by pointing out that there are people that are dividing the party - wow

[Thekaspervote]

12. For what it's worth.. doesn't seem to me you are being divisive

[DownriverDem]

15. Same here

I have seen some divisiveness by some folks on DU.

[Buzz cook]

17. That is not what you are doing.

You are name calling. If all you did was point out that people were being divisive do you think I would have even noticed you?

Stop calling democrats who disagree with you Trump supporters.

10. Very high-school clique, all this did you hear what Joe just said? Replete with polls.

6. Trump wants to run against Bernie. And plenty of pundits at CNN

and MSNBC and NYT want that contest as well. It would be great for ratings but if Sanders manages to get the nomination they will savage him the same way they savaged Hillary. Trump is good for clicks and ratings. The media love having trump in the White House. It's great entertainment.

11. You are right about the media.

The drum beat of Trump goes on day after day. They pushed him in the election, attacked Hiarry unmercifully.

They did the same thing before the Iraq war.

16. Trump doesn't want to run against Biden

Biden can beat trump. He won't take trump's crap. trump needs Pennsylvania. Biden can win Pennsylvania. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania. Biden has a close relationship with blue collar workers. They will support him because they know how much trump has screwed him. I would love to see a Biden/Harris ticket. She would then be aligned to be President. Many Americans are way behind when it comes to women leaders.
