Mod: Joe Biden has to be the most fortunate candidate ever. He has an opponent who daily insists on beating the crap out of himself.
Biden Takes Dominant Lead as Voters Reject Trump on Virus and Race (
The New York Timeslink):
Joseph R. Biden Jr. has taken a commanding lead over
President Trump in the
2020 race, building a wide advantage among women and nonwhite voters and making deep inroads with some traditionally
Republican-leaning groups that have shifted away from
Mr. Trump following his ineffective response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new national poll of registered voters by
The New York Times and
Siena College.
Mr. Biden is currently ahead of
Mr. Trump by 14 percentage points, garnering 50 percent of the vote compared with 36 percent for
Mr. Trump. That is among the most dismal showings of
Mr. Trump’s presidency, and a sign that he is the clear underdog right now in his fight for a second term.
Mr. Trump has been an unpopular president for virtually his entire time in office. He has made few efforts since his election in
2016 to broaden his support beyond the right-wing base that vaulted him into office with only 46 percent of the popular vote and a modest victory in the
Electoral College.
But among a striking cross-section of voters, the distaste for
Mr. Trump has deepened as his administration failed to stop a deadly disease that crippled the economy and then as he responded to a wave of racial-justice protests with angry bluster and militaristic threats. The dominant picture that emerges from the poll is of a country ready to reject a president whom a strong majority of voters regard as failing the greatest tests confronting his administration.
