[brooklynite]

n a first look at head-to-head 2020 presidential matchups nationwide, several Democratic challengers lead President Donald Trump, with former Vice President Joseph Biden ahead 53 - 40 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.

In other matchups, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll finds:
- Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders over President Trump 51 - 42 percent;
- California Sen. Kamala Harris ahead of Trump 49 - 41 percent;
- Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren tops Trump 49 - 42 percent;
- South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg edges Trump 47 - 42 percent;
- New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker by a nose over Trump 47 - 42 percent.

In the Trump-Biden matchup, women back Biden 60 - 34 percent, as men are divided with 47 percent for Biden and 46 percent for Trump. White voters are divided with 47 percent for Trump and 46 percent for Biden. The Democrat leads 85 - 12 percent among black voters and 58 - 33 percent among Hispanic voters.

Republicans go to Trump 91 - 6 percent. Biden leads 95 - 3 percent among Democrats and 58 - 28 percent among independent voters.

"The head-to-head matchups give this heads up to President Donald Trump's team: Former Vice President Joseph Biden and other Democratic contenders would beat the president if the election were held today. Leads range from Biden's 13 percentage points to thin five-point leads by Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Cory Booker," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

The New York Times just dropped a brutal story reporting that President Trump is instructing his aides to lie about his poor standing in internal polls. And a new poll just made their job much more difficult.

Quinnipiac University has for the first time conducted national head-to-head polls matching up Trump and some of the leading Democratic presidential hopefuls. None of the matchups are good for Trump.

Trump trails all six by between five and 13 points, with Joe Biden holding the biggest advantage and the lesser-known candidates — Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Mayor Pete Buttigieg — holding the smallest leads.

The findings, importantly, mirror the limited head-to-head polling we’ve seen in some key early states, with Trump trailing by as much as double digits in crucial Michigan and Pennsylvania, and even trailing Biden in Texas (!) in another Quinnipiac poll. Trump also trails in most national head-to-heads, although often not by as much as Quinnipiac indicates.

2. Good new.... but it doesn't take into account gerrymandering, voter suppression........

Russian interference, voting system hacks, 'Swiftboating', and last minute surprises (as with what Comey did to Hillary).

We need to win so BIGLY that all of the above are smothered out in the landslide !!!!!!

3. You can't gerrymander State elections.

7. I have my favorite, but I hope that whoever wins the nomination crushes Trump

His brand of hatred needs to be crushed so that others don't view it was a viable option in the future.
