Joe Biden Crushes Donald Trump In New 'ABC News' Head-To-Head Poll



A new poll by 'ABC News' and 'The Washington Post' shows Democrat Joe Biden easily defeating Donald Trump by a double-digit margin in a general election matchup.

NEWS ANALYSIS July 7, 2019

Jonathan Vankin

While former United States Vice President Joe Biden has taken a dive in the Democratic primary polls since his shaky performance in the June 27 candidates’ debate, as The Inquisitr reported, his lead in head-to-head polls against Donald Trump remains substantial, as a new poll released late on Saturday revealed.

The new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Biden leading Trump by a commanding 10-point margin in a survey of registered voters. But when the question was asked of all adults, including those not yet registered, Biden’s lead expands to a seemingly insurmountable 14 points.

They'll never vote for a Democrat, but trump has lost them. Yes, they could be lying, but i'm not the one who brought up either conversation.
Both are males, and both thought that after the election trump would put away "campaigning trump" and act presidential.

Sun Jul 7, 2019, 12:11 PM

And has always advocated for the working class. The key is whether these former trump voters see he's hurting their pocketbook & their livelihoods (aka farmers impacted by trade tariffs & truck drivers impacted by new tax laws which dont allow them to claim perdiem which make up a large amount of expense for them) will in fact turn out to vote 4 Joe. Im hopeful they will.

As long as we have to win the Electoral College to beat trump, the election will be won in the middle. Biden running with a strong progressive Dem woman would be a winning ticket. We have never had a woman VP. She would then be aligned to become President. It's not who I like or you like. It's who can beat trump. Without a Dem win in 2020, we can all kiss our progressive goals bye bye. So are voters going to see this plan and vote for who can win or will they want it their way which means trump wins?

Many of our candidates fit the bill. Joe Biden is excellent! I never know if he's my first, second, or third choice. I personally think a male will go head-to-head against Trump very favorably for us.

Sun Jul 7, 2019, 01:05 PM
Jul 2019
Biden’s lead over Trump is built in part on stronger support among independent voters and among self-identified moderates. He enjoys a seven-point edge among independents, while the other Democrats are even or trailing Trump with those voters. Among moderates, Biden has a 28-point advantage over the president, significantly more than any of the other Democrats tested.

There are other races. We need to be sure they don't get so pissed at democrats that they mark their ballots for trump anyway.

I like the approach that the DUer took with a neighbor. They simply mentioned that iq45 had tanks in the Capitol, spent taxpayer money for his own parade and to go golfing at his own country clubs, for which he charges the govt fees, implemented tariffs that have weakened farm prices, and built concentration camps on the border in which people are mistreated and have died. If he'll do these horrible things, how far will he go to get what he wants?

Trump and Republicans are trying to attach the label of “socialist” to all the Democrats. Asked a generic question about a matchup between Trump and a candidate regarded as a socialist, the president holds a slight edge of 49 percent to 43 percent among registered voters.
