Biden Continues To Widen Lead

The new Washington Post-ABC News poll is out, and it tracks recent polling by highly respected  Quinnipiac and Fox (!):

Biden leads Trump 55 percent to 40 percent among registered voters. That compares with a 10-point Biden lead in May and a two-point edge in March, at a time when the pandemic was just beginning to spread rapidly in parts of the country. Among those who say they are certain to vote, Biden’s lead stands at 11 points. [snip]

Biden is seen as having the better personality and temperament to serve as president by 26 points among adults overall. He is seen as likely to do more to unite the country by 24 points, of better understanding “problems of people like you” by 17 points, as more honest and trustworthy by 14 points, as better representing “your own personal values” by 12 points and as having a better idea of what America should stand for by 10 points. Trump and Biden are even at 45 percent on the question of who is seen as the stronger leader.

Trump’s weakness on the issue of uniting the country shows up in two other questions. In the new poll, 61 percent say the president has done more to divide the country than unite it, and 76 percent say that when Trump talks about people with whom he disagrees, he crosses the line in terms of what’s acceptable, with 21 percent saying he stays within acceptable bounds. Views of Biden are flipped, with 63 percent saying he stays within acceptable bounds and 26 percent saying he crosses the line.

On issues, Biden has a 20-point advantage on who is more trusted to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, a 25-point advantage on race relations and a nine-point advantage on crime and safety.  (our emphasis)

Yes, it's a national poll, and yes it's July 19.  And all the polls make the point that Biden's margins are less in the battleground states, but are still significant.  But state polling bears out what we're seeing nationally -- a voting public that's fed up with COVID Donnie's incompetence and divisiveness. Even on the topic COVID Donnie dreams he has an advantage -- crime and safety -- Biden beats him by 9 points.

Keep the foot on the gas and work like hell to see a blue tsunami in November that can't be questioned by cries of "voter fraud!"  Eyes on the prize!
