NEW YORK (VINnews) — A new poll released Wednesday shows Joe Biden leading President Trump by a significant 14-point margin- 50% to 36%. The New York Times/Siena College poll demonstrates that the economy, coronavirus and in particular the way the Black Life Matter protests were managed have harmed the president’s reelection campaign.

Biden is ahead by 14 points among women and 3 points among men. Among independent voters he leads by a hefty 21-point margin. Trump leads among registered Republicans and in only one demographic group: white, non college-educated voters, where he has a 19-point lead over his Democrat rival. The poll, conducted between June 17 and June 22, has a margin of error of plus-minus 3 percent.
In terms of approval rating, Trump can still rely on his handling of the economy where he has a 50% approval rating. However only 39% supported his handling of criminal justice, 38% agreed with the way he handled the coronavirus, 33% approved of the way he dealt with race relations and just 29% approved of the way he handled the George Floyd protests last month.
Trump’s attempts to jumpstart his campaign have so far not gained momentum. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trump only managed to fill a third of the stadium and his statement there that he ordered slowing of coronavirus tests because it showed increased infection was met with derision, even though he later said that he had been ‘joking.’ The Pheonix rally with students was more crowded but images from the event showed that people were tightly packed together and almost nobody wore protective masks despite a despite a public-health plea from the Democratic mayor of the city on Monday.
Biden on the contrary has been campaigning mainly online from his Delaware home as well as conducting successful fundraisers to promote his campaign.
The 14-point margin of difference is the same one measured by CNN in a poll in early June. At the time the Trump campaign demanded that CNN retract its findings but after the present poll, Biden leads after averaging all the polls by over 10 percentage points.
The telephone survey of 1,337 registered voters was conducted from June 17 to 22 and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3 percentage points.
I wouldn’t trust CNN or the NYT if they said Trump was leading. In any case These FAKE NEWS outlets will hype up ad nauseam that Trump only had 6000 people at his rally without telling you that a record 8.2 million people watched it live on cable, or that many liberals reserved blocks of tickets with no intention of going. Having said this if I were Trump I would look for ways to improve the numbers that even the FAKE NEWS would have to admit Trump is ahead.
When Trump leaves office, he won’t have to worry about income, as he will be in demand for speaking engagements (1 million per speech, book deals, tv interviews, a memoir, etc.). Also, he is still permitted to run for another term in four years, if he wishes. Grover Cleveland did that in the 19th century.
Only polls that matter are Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio and Georgia.
The one good thing I like about Joe Biden, is that he’s just like you and me. He puts on his pajama bottoms one arm at a time.
looks like ap is also suffering from dimentia
This is Fake News! Trump’s internal polls actually show him trailing by 19 points in many ‘red’ states. But staff won’t tell him.
well..at least Trump has the white trash vote all locked up!…LOL
YAWN….
Does any thinking person still pay any attention to these polls?
Pollsters predicted that Yesh Atid would crush Netanyahu and Likud. they were correct with one minor adjustment. It was Likud crushing Yesh Atid! Does anybody remember Brexit? The polls assured us it was going to be soundly rejected. We all know how that turned out out. Remember the polls predicting Hillary winning in a landslide? These are just some of the more recent poll gaffes. And who can forget the famous Thomas Dewey/Harry Truman prediction. That didn’t end well for Projected landslide winner Thomas Dewey, did it? Ohio’s Joni Ernst VS. Bruce Braley, Marylands Larry Hogan VS. Anthony Brown, are just some other polling gaffs, and let’s not forget bartender AOC vs.Democratic Party Chairman and 20 year congressman Joe Crowley. So much for polls
What I’m curious about is, whom are these pollsters polling anyway, In my over 40 years of voting, I’ve never been polled even once. Has anybody on this site ever been polled?!?
how about all these torah and mitzvas?? observing yidden
Trump says recklss statements. He can blame himself for this. And for his having rallies in states that are having surges in virus cases is insane. Besides most of the people going to the rallies are not wearing masks. And he never does. He cares more about votes, then people. Not saying I want him to lose the election as he is the best president for Israel and Biden will be awful for Israel. Trump though should stop doing what he is doing – having rallies during the pandemic. And should stop saying stupid things like we are doing too much testing.
did anyone think that trump is going to carry ny thanks to mayor blasio
The only poll that matters in on Election Day!!
