In a polling double tap on the Democratic presidential ticket, President Trump for the first time has edged in front of Joe Biden in his bid for reelection and hes reached his highest approval rating for the year.
The just issued Rasmussen Reports surveys put Trumps approval rating at 52%, after a string of 51% marks. He reached 52% two other times this year.
And the pollsters weekly race review released at noon had Trump nudging ahead of Biden, 47%-46%.
President Trump has now edged to a one-point lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch survey. While statistically insignificant, its the first time Trump has been ahead, said the poll analysis.
It added, "The race has narrowed over the past two weeks. Biden had a two-point lead last week, but that survey also marked the first time Trump had edged above 45% over the past two-and-a-half months. Prior to this week, Biden has bested Trump in every weekly survey since White House Watch began at the beginning of July."

they’re still alive and well, attacking AG Barr on every thread where he’s mentioned ... they’re not only transparent, but tiresome ...

no doubt ... but i bet they don’t sway a single voter ... makes good fodder for the 24x7x365 TDS hate-fests at CNN, MSNBC and WaPo, but they’re not swaying anyone either ... even douchebag-personified Chuck Todd was lamenting that earlier this week ...
Yup. Lucky for the byeDUHn/hVrris campaign they’re up by 1,500 points when the poll of 938 likely democommie voters come in.

i think it is equally likely that the biden campaign will calculate that that damage of NOT dropping out will be far less than the damage of actually participating in debates ...

“Agree Biden will NOT debate. I think the decision was made way back that the fallout from him not debating would be less than what would be the utter train wreck if he did.”

“if there are no presidential debates, will there be a vice-presidential debate?”
that’s a VERY good question!
“More likely it represents the hidden Trump voters.”
that really makes sense ...
They know the MSM will convince the electorate
<><> that debates don't matter,
<><> they are not historically a thing prior to modern TV era,
<><> that Trump is unworthy of debating, etc etc.
<><> plus Google / Facebook / Twitter will censor anything that says otherwise.
The Biden campaign will surely calculate that the damage of dropping out will be far less than the damage of participating in debates.
Bidens problem isnt risking fallout from chickening out - that would hurt him - but hes got a far worse problem:
Biden is the challenger - hes the one that needs the debates, not President Trump.
Think of it as a world heavyweight boxing title. As incumbent President, Donald Trump holds the title. Hes the reigning champ. If Biden wants the title, he needs to challenge the champ. He has to fight him in the ring.
A huge part of that challenge takes the form of debates. If Biden wont get on stage and debate, that will be seen as withdrawing his challenge.
That is how people will view it. It wont be so much that Biden was a coward - it will simply be that there is no challenge, so President Trump is still President.
A heavyweight challenger could have the best excuse in the world for not fighting - for example, lets say he was abducted by aliens the day of the fight and there was video to prove it. So nobody could blame him or call him a coward.
But still, the champ would keep his title.
I think its the same for Biden. He has to debate or Trump remains President.
One thing they might try is have Kamala Harris challenge President Trump to a debate in Bidens place. If President Trump refused, that could be spun as him chickening out. If he agreed, hed lose the advantage of debating a senile old man.
If they try that, President Trump should say Sure, Ill be happy to debate her, or anyone the Democrats officially place at the head of the ticket.
That would be checkmate Trump - because it is too late to get her on the ballot as Presidential candidate.
Eh with Rasmussen it’s probably more like 5-7%....
I did not think it possible but Trump made me love him more and Democrats made me hate them more in 2020. I still feel blah about the GOP party - unchanged. I am waiting for it to become full Trumpian.
That would be too perfect. It would make Biden look like the dufus that he is and it would allow Trump to show his stateman side.
The Rockefellers will hook him up with their blood “donors,”
Funny!
That's why the bogus polling.
The candidate's name on the ballot is a proxy for Electors to the Electoral College. Voters are really voting for the Electors, so replacing the candidate will be allowed.
However, Democrats will have the burden of explaining the ballot to voters because they won't have grounds to demand existing ballots be changed or voided for new ballots.

What does anyone want to bet that the attorney general calling lockdowns unconstitutional happened at a decent time?
Polls are effected by sampling and questions being asked, along with how the person being asked feels :)
“the day before the first debate, the biden campaign can claim biden was in contact with a staff member who tested positive for covid and has to self-quarantine ...”
And PDJT could simply say, “Place us behind plexiglass shields and we both wear a mask. “
When Bye-Done’s campaign doesn’t agree then PSJT publicly says that his opponent won’t debate because he is suffering from dementia and the democrats are attempting to hide that fact because they are dishonest.
If Bye-Done tries to pull out of the debates it’s over for Bye-Done.
The more people get to know Biden, the more realize there is no Biden.
