New CNN Poll: Biden 55 Trump 41

[jorgevlorgan]

This is some very good news 5 months out.

No doubt he’ll claim it is fake news, but a new CNN general election poll has President Trump lagging a massive 14 percentage points behind Joe Biden, at 41 percent to the former VP’s 55 percent. The poll of 1,259 adults also saw a significant majority of Americans surveyed say racism is a big problem in the country today and that the criminal-justice system in America favors whites over blacks.

1. Yes!

Somehow, this poll showing Trump at 38% approval to 57% disapproval got the head lines, but the headline to me is that Biden is trouncing Trump right now. 14 points in this poll, 8 points in the composites of polls.

Biden is in territory that Hillary Clinton never saw, and let me remind people that if not for James Comey's surprise at the end she would have won easily. Without something like that Trump will not win.

2. for contrast, I dont think Clinton ever hit 50% in a poll. This is Biden's 2nd time doing so.

....which is a really big deal.




Please correct me if I'm wrong.

8. That is correct

In the RCP Poll of Polls, Hillary never hit higher than 49.0 between April and the election, Biden is at 49.9% right now, but he appears to be pulling away.

More importantly though is that Biden is doing really well with groups that Clinton struggled with, mainly suburbanites, working people, and retirees. He's far out performing her.

3. Very good news but . . .

We need to act as if those numbers were reversed. Because 5 months during an election years is an eternity.

4. agreed.

Although if anything it shows that people's minds are in a completely different place than 2016 in a way that favors Biden. I am optimistic.

Eyes on the prize

5. So I was wrong when I said he was up by 11

He is actually ahead by 14 points.

6. Also up by 10 in Scott Rasmussen's latest poll.

47-37.

To clarify, this isn’t Rasmussen Reports, which Scott Rasmussen left years ago. That one continues to put out kooky polls showing Trump with high approval numbers.

9. It is a long way to November, but this is certainly a good sign. n/t

10. Poll of adults. Not registered voters, not likely voters. We need to turn out our voters.

11. interesting! sounds like it could be misleading...

Although Biden being at or above 50 in so many polls is encouraging...
