It may not be surprising but it certainly is bad for the Democrats.

Getting back to the larger picture.....no mention in the article as to where Hillary's lead stood at the same point in time. I don't remember it being as large. Anyone remember differently?

Biden leads Trump by 14 points nationally a month from Election Day, NBC/WSJ poll finds

KEY POINTS
Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by 14 percentage points nationally with about a month to go until Election Day, the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found.

The survey was taken after the first 2020 presidential debate on Tuesday but before Trump announced his Covid-19 diagnosis early Friday.

Respondents said Biden performed better at the debate and preferred him to handle a range of key issues.

Same answer as before.

I'm not predicting the election outcome. Only opining that predictit is deeply flawed.

Now I am remembering you saying that. Could you reiterate why you believe that?

Thanks

I have real money in the system. I'm exposed to the liquidity, the spreads, the fees. It's not a market.

Poll: Biden bolsters lead over Trump in Michigan after first debate

https://www.clickondetroit.com/decision ... st-debate/



Following the first debate of the 2020 election, Joe Biden has taken his largest lead of the Presidential race in Michigan, leading Donald Trump 48.0%- 39.2% -- a lead of 8.8%. Trump has lost three points of support since the September post-convention survey.

There has been a major shift among voters over the age of 65 towards Joe Biden. Older voters now support Biden over Trump by a margin of 59.1%-29.2% -- a nearly 30-point lead for Joe Biden. Biden led senior voters by 7.5% in the Post-Convention survey. Senior voters have shifted by 22 points since early September.

I would guess his latest tweet is net negative, but what do I know. Another month of no help, ehh, let them eat cake. And of course go ahead and spin it that it's the democrats' fault. That they want to give too much!

Didn't help the stock market and those 401ks!
-------------

President Trump tweeted on Tuesday that he had instructed his representatives in talks with Democrats over an economic aid package “to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business.”

-------------
It seems the steroid is making him even more optimistic and tweeting like crazy.

I think Putin gave him the nod letting him know they have this pesky election issue locked down.
