The polls show Joe Biden leading President Trump in the presidential race. Looking at the last 10 surveys in the RealClearPolitics average of polls matching Trump versus Biden, Biden is leading in every one of them — by anywhere from 3 to 10 points. Biden's average lead in those 10 polls is 5.5 points.
The results echo polls from this point in 2016, when the general election matchup was Trump versus Hillary Clinton. Taking 10 polls from this time in the last campaign, Clinton led in every one of them — by anywhere from 6 to 18 points. Her average lead in those 10 polls was 10.5 points.
York is usually reasonable How can an entire article omit the obvious - that Biden is clearly displaying a deficit of cognitive abilities and is demonstrably unable to serve as a President. The man can't even SPEAK coherently.

The short answer to the question is YES.
I don't recall seeing any polls showing Biden with the overwhelming leads that Clinton had over Trump. Remember those? The ones that had the odds of Hillary winning at over 90%.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These polls are constructed to get the result they want. The MSM and the DNC are one.

I never thought that I would see a weaker candidate than Mitt Romney. However, Biden is the weakest candidate in history.

Biden is the invisible candidate. China virus has pushed him off the air. Would he be the invisible President? Who would be governing in his name? The polls have him in the lead? Really? Guess that's like how the polls had Hillary in the lead, and we all know how that worked out.

Any discussion starting with "The polls show" is an absurdity from the start. The polls show what the media and dems want them to show by using faulty sampling and asking loaded questions.
Trump is in a far stronger position than 2016. He is the leader of a unified party that supports him enthusiastically. Before the virus tipped the world upside down the US was in a fantastic economic position and the fundamentals still support that for a recovery. Trump has governed as a strong Conservative which was a concern before he was elected. Those doubts have been erased. He has defeated foreign, terrorist groups. He has set a new tone for world leadership. He has made some excellent speeches setting the tone for an America FIrst agenda.
The dems are a fractured, disillusioned party. They started with over 20 candidates and boiled them all down to a senile old fool and an old Communist. These are their "cream of the crop". Now they are so desperate they are trying to figure out how to dump these losers and pull in Andy Cuomo who is responsible for his state being totally unprepared for a pandemic and isn't even that popular in the liberal Mecca of NY. Every possible choice they might make would alienate 20% of the party, some badly enough to vote for Trump instead. All the dems can seem to focus on is impeaching Trump and doing a spectacular face plant every time they try. The Country faces a crisis and all Nasty Pelousy wants is a grab bag of dem Socialist goodies and she thinks she can get it because she will leverage the desperation of the American People. THIS is a party that thinks those same American People will vote for them?
And you come to me with polls that say all the above doesn't matter? Don't waste my time.

Either the pollsters are lying or people are lying to the pollsters. If I were ever polled, I’d tell them I’m a hard core leftist Bernie girl. I’d do it just to mess with them.

Back when I was in college, during the 1996 Presidential election, I wrote a speech on polls and their questionable accuracy. I said, "According to a recent poll, Bob Dole is leading Bill Clinton 70% to 30%. Now let me tell you about this poll. It was taken by me. I asked 10 people, seven Republicans and three Democrats, who they were voting for in the Presidential election. This is the result."
My instructor was a big leftie, and even she had a big grin on her face by the end of the speech. I brought up many erroneous polls from past elections, including the one that said that Carter led Reagan by 32 points. It's all in who you ask, how you ask questions and and the split on the demographics of who is asked. I asked seven Republicans and three Democrats my question and was able to get the results I wanted. I suspect it is the same for many of these polls.

The Democrats have had some sad sack throw-away candidates in the recent past: Mondale, Dukakis, Jimmy Carter (when America finally woke up and got its head out of its Watergate-obsessed butt). We had poor old Bob Dole and John McCain. Romney was a pussy, and still is.
None of them were pathetic, brain-damaged or ready for the home. Biden is way past that point and we're months away.
