Poll: Biden Leads Trump Nationally By 13 Points (UPDATED)
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between June 10 - 16, former VP Joe Biden leads demagogue and election thief Donald "Impeached Forever" Trump among registered voters by 13%, his widest lead in that particular poll. That comports with the recent CNN poll showing Biden with a 14% lead (which so angered Trump that he risibly prompted his campaign to demand a retraction, which CNN refused to do).
Forty-eight percent said they would vote for Biden, while 35% said their choice would be Trump. The poll also indicated that 57% of voters disapproved of Trump's performance, with only 38% approving. Another statistic that should worry Trump is that his base support is eroding, with Republican approval declining 13% from March to June. His disastrous mishandling of the coronavirus response, as well as his thuggish reaction to anti-racism demonstrations for police reform, have contributed to his decline.
Polls are a snapshot in time, and time passes. The "poll" that counts is taken in the voting booth, so register, organize, and vote.
