New Fox News Poll Has Biden Unseating Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former vice president Joe Biden, who has not yet announced his candidacy, leads President Donald Trump by seven percentage points, 47 to 40, in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup for the presidency according to a new Fox News poll of registered voters.

Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), when matched head-to-head in the poll, would also send Trump home, but by a smaller margin of 44 percent to 41 percent. But Trump edges out two other democratic contenders, Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), by only two points.

Biden also topped the list when Democratic primary voters were asked their preference on who should lead the ticket. Biden bested Sanders by eight percentage points, 31 percent to 23 percent.

The same poll also found that most Americans, 52 percent, think the president attempted to interfere with Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the election. And 44 percent said they believe that the 2016 Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government during the election cycle.

Of course, it is way too early to read anything definitive into these presidential polls; name recognition plays a major role in the results. The last two presidents, for different reasons, both did not hold leads in early polling. But, for now, they are an interesting snapshot of the political landscape, but little more.

Subtle sexism per Harris and Warren?

1. I don't want FOX selecting our democratic nominee.

2. Good point!

Biden is superbly qualified, but does he have the energy to run a long and grueling presidential campaign?
Elizabeth Warren has energy to spare and has the gravitas to tackle big banks & Wall street, which is the real reason why middle class has their tits in the wringer.

3. At this point, while I'm not opposed to Biden leading the ticket...

...he hasn't been "through the wringer" that all the announced candidates have. (I assume you've noticed that, the minute any of our candidates announced, there was immediately a deluge of negative talking points hitting social media about them. I wonder why...?) I do know he, like any other potential candidate, is far from perfect, and there are some positions from his past (his anti-school-integration positions in the 1970s, his handling of the Clarence Thomas hearings, his enthusiastic backing of Dubya's bankruptcy bill) that are sure to get brought to the forefront of public consciousness the minute he announces. Will they make a dent? We won't know as long as he's on the sidelines. Also, I really haven't seen him since the Obama administration; considering the concerns about his age, I am hoping the past four years haven't changed his demeanor all that much.

Once again, not saying he might not be the best choice (and certainly not saying that I won't vote for him if he's the nominee), but I think it's too soon to say how a potential 2020 candidacy might fare until we see him "in the arena."

4. Republicans have all sorts of great advice for us if we will just listen

But I would say "Fuck You" to any who offer their advice.

6. Joe Biden has been vetted

by Obama before he was chosen as veep.

He has released his tax returns as well.

He would be a perfect candidate.

7. He hasn't faced attacks yet

Attack ads and tweets by Trump will happen.

8. Fox wants Biden because they think he is most likely to lose to Trump, not unseat him.

Thus their bogus poll.

I love Joe Biden. I know he could kick Trump's cowardly ass in a schoolyard fist fight, but I don't think he'd be anywhere near close to being our best shot at winning. Unfortunately, in 2020 he'd be perceived by many voters, especially the younger ones, as the same old/same old when it comes to Washington politics. I think some of our other candidates will stand a better chance at winning than Joe will. Having said that, ANY of our candidates should be able to beat the asshole, with the exception of Gillibrand who I think would be a terrible choice to put out there.

9. Bogus

How so? Because it's Fox. What I'm saying is most polling is out sourced.

10. The Democrats Trump Fears Most

“President Trump has publicly boasted that he could beat any of his 2020 Democratic challengers. But privately, several members of the Trump campaign see a few who could pose a threat to his re-election, and are in the early stages of building out their strategy for attack,” Axios reports.

“The three candidates that seem to concern the Trump campaign most are Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke. That’s in no particular order, and you’ll get a different answer depending on who you talk to.”

11. I'm telling you, Trump has nothing for Harris...

...Harris will light him up like a Christmas tree.
