Polls: Marches for Justice and Biden v. Trump
Two polls released today show a definite shift in public opinion toward the protests for community policing reform and toward the choice between former VP Joe Biden and demagogue and con man Donald "Bunker Boy" Trump:
An NBC News/Wall St. Journal poll found that 59% of Americans were more concerned about the police killing of George Floyd than the protests turning violent; it found that 80% believe the country is out of control, and Biden is favored by 2 to 1 over Trump in the ability to bring the country together.
A CNN / SSRS poll shows Biden with a growing lead over Trump at 55 - 41. It also indicates that a staggering 84% believe the protests against police violence against African-Americans are justified.
We add the usual caveat that poll numbers can change, but there is a clear wind blowing in the direction of criminal justice reform and removal of Trump from the White (Supremacist) House, and that is encouraging to say the least.
