. That's double what his advantage was at the end of February, and the presumptive Democratic nominee is at or near 50% in many surveys. Problematically for the president, the coronavirus isn't going away and that threatens his prospects heading into the fall.
But Biden's advantage in those national surveys has come largely from a drop in Trump's support rather than a big increase in the percentage of people saying they would vote for Biden. The Biden campaign has been saying for months during this surge that it expects the race to tighten, and no one should be surprised if it does.15 targeted states, Biden has increased his advantage by an average of about 4.
People who wear that shit and fantasize about politicians are fucking embarrassing.
Strangely you don't list COVID, Russian bounties, race relations.
If you can't choose correctly between 'less than' and 'fewer,' maybe you should stop trying to predict the outcome of anything 🙄
Easily half of votes will be cast before election day, some well before.
*fewer

Biden doesn’t even know what day of the week it is.
While trump whines about election fraud, he has all the power to make sure election is safe/secure but fails to provide funds or plans to make it happen. He thinks this gives him deniability-it only makes him guilty of premeditated plan he had power to change
Democrats absolutely scared that Capitalism on a Corona Vaccine, will happen, under Socialism these companies wouldn’t even exist anymore.
1. Trump wins 2020 2. Trump is your President for 4 more years ! 3. Trump will not lose 2020 4. Biden will never win 2020
Polls, geez. Haven't you learned your lesson from 2016. Did you not know that the GOP is not answering the questions honestly. And do you know why, it's the cancel culture of the Democratic Party.
What’s gonna change? Like trump is making the vaccine with his huge Brain? Schools are opening differently in each state. Fundraising? I don’t get it.
His disastrous management of the COVID-19 crisis.
Soooooo...surprises might be surprising? k
Here are 5 factors that it won’t: 🔹Virus is spreading quickly in MAGA country 🔹58 million plus unemployed 🔹GOP refusal to extend enhanced UI benefits 🔹Trump secret police has began its attacks on suburban moms & veterans 🔹Trump is a total failure
Dont forget police riots martial law and postponed elections indefinitely
Nothing will change anyone's mind about him at this point.
Must not forget all the foreign meddling our Chosen One has openly solicited.
1. Will be a disaster for 45. 2. Won't change anyone's vote, honestly. 3. No spending will win Trump votes from people who hate him, which is most people. 4. Besides Biden being revealed to be a serial killer, what possible surprise could make him less appealing than Trump?
What happens if Trump (pre-emptive move to not suffer loss) and/or Biden (there's a reason Obama told him not to talk/tweet as long) drop out? Who fills that party's nomination?
Why has Biden still not picked a VP?
TrumpLandslideVictory2020 Take it to the bank.
The polls favor Biden because you don’t have to go out to take a poll. Come Election Day, we’ll see who risks catching COVID for two men who don’t care if you have health insurance or not at the ballot box. I’m not for either of these shit candidates.
Fewer.
'potential surprises' is vague and shouldn't be considered a factor
Voter suppression. C'mon NPR.
Bernie was the man we needed not deserved. The remainder, Making America Obsolete Again.
These are some good ideas. Shame he won't remember 🤣🤤
Yeah sure. Basement Biden who can’t put 2 sentences together without getting lost midway is leading Trump. Doubling down on 2016 fake polls are we? When are you idiots in the media gonna learn that no matter how much you tell a lie, it’s STILL A LIE. Enjoy Trump’s landslide win
I know. it’s shocking to think the candidate that no one wanted isn’t wanted. it’s almost unbelievable.
Creepy, Sleepy, Pedio Joe has a clear advantage in polls asking who is more likely to grope your wife, mother or child - that’s the ONLY thing he’s better at than President Trump
Pay no attention to the polls. Yes, it's nice to see who is leading in each state but get out there and vote in November like your life depends on it! JoeBiden KamalaHarrisForVP
Fake news
veryfineppl PFFT LOL
Considering we took two steps back with Trump, we're currently just trying to catch up back to where we were when Obama left. I would not prefer Joe, but at least he'll be predictable and familiar. That counts for something. The important thing really is removing Trump.
Its the hearts of the American people that count and he clearly doesnt
, you forgot these: Endorsements – Joe Biden for President
In a two party system, isn't that the same thing? I won't vote for candidate A, therefore I'll vote for candidate B. Same thing happened to TraitorInChief with people who didn't want to vote for Hillary.
Nothing but liberal demagoguery.
Wow. WTF NPR? Thinking about cancelling my support to you if you're just going to be GOP mouthpiece
Same pollsters that said Hillary was going to pummel Trump.
The election is not a popularity contest. Biden is by FAR more qualified for the job than the other guy.
This is an important to reminder that people like Biden for the same reason people liked Trump in 2016, because the alternative is terrible
Frankly bizarre for a major political party to run a guy with dementia.
yes and my drop is lack of response towards ban of H1b and visareform which was promised at the time of disney IT debacle . USTechWorkers
It’s like the second coming of Christ
If you still support Trump at this point, you need a mental health exam.
“Joe Biden is “going to beat Joe Biden”? Really? Joe has been the voice and face of Dementia. Joe is a sun-downer. Try interviewing him at night and see what you get. Of course, his handlers & his wife won't allow it because you would see the real, demented Joe. Elder Abuse!
Maybe if he stopped opposing things like Medicare for all, or took a bold step towards changing a system which is currently falling apart, more people would actually want to vote for him. Trump must be defeated, but the American people are disillusioned. Inspire us. Lead us.
So vote for Satan himself or a kind grandfather. If you have to think about this, I don’t want to know you.
I wish many countries had similar electoral system. Popular vote is becoming a joke
Again: polls aren’t votes. DON’T be complacent! Vote as though JoeBiden is down 20+ points and get like minded people to vote too. Thanks. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlue2020
Right now we have two unqualified candidates actively running exclusion campaigns but feeling owed votes based on party tags. And this is what happens when you let fear govern your country. Two parties, no representation.
Polls mean nothing. Don’t believe them. If they meant something, Hillary would be President.
Individualism Collectivism. 45 should win re-election, easily.
Never trust polls
Isn't that how 45 won — drop in support for Hillary?
“Clear advantage”. Lol
ahhh...poll memories
Timing is everything...
He needs to pick the right VP before we can get excited. He’s a safety blanket and a spot light for elevating the next real Democratic hopeful.
Lol perf! Now us dems don’t need to go vote!
Regardless of what any poll says, we must act as if Biden is 20 points down until the election. VoteLikeYourCountryDependsOnIt
I’d vote for anyone over Trump (except maybe Moscow Mitch).
Trump supporters response to fakenews pollsters: 🖕
He should just be running “generic democratic” rather than joe Biden ads.
Why do people bother with “things that could change the race” pieces. They are a dime a dozen, add nothing to the narrative, and could be written be virtually anyone who follows politics. 11:24 AM · Jul 27, 2020·
I live in deep blue Massachusetts. I LITERALLY have not seen a single lawn sign driving in the state over the last several months and I've seen about 3 bumper stickers. Biden is a relic of a former age who wasn't that sharp even in his prime. The Dems are playing a dangerous game
How can anyone drop from Trump & go to Biden! I think it’s the opposite b/c of the failed Democrat policies in our cities, lack of acknowledgment of Antifa causing chaos & Joe being a liar, plagiarist with no conviction is making people wake up
Huh? Biden is polling consistently over 50%. This tweet makes zero sense.
trump is just down a point from where he was in mid march he dropped from a peak that most leaders got until even trumpkins realized he bungled it altho his approval is still sticky at 40
😂😂😂
Biden's advantage is irrelevant. Do a poll comparing people’s support or hatred of Donald Trump but then add this question “on a scale from 1-10 how would you measure the strength of restrictions on the presidency” ie how important do you believe the POTUS is vs who you support
Trump could kick the bucket anytime . He’s only a couple Big Macs away .
Makes sense since he hasn’t exactly done a good job at handling the protests or COVID 19. Doesn’t really understand how to deal with people. He thinks everything is black or white. Dismissing people’s feeling. He ain’t a boss. He is a president
Imagine not promoting medicare for all after all this. He's not exciting us because he's presenting campaign ideas from 2008. We're going to vote for him but only because the alternative is the apocalypse.
Biden is not in incumbent, Trump is!!
They said the same about Hillary in 2016. Democrats better wake up or they will have the same surprise this cycle. Democrats Biden
Oh, this is 100% an 'anybody but Trump' election and I'm totally fine with that.
Stupid ppl giving opinion...why ppl like to be poor?!!, don’t get it !!!
because we're stuck with choosing between a red racist or a blue racist. Fuck the two-party system.
TBH, I haven't been wholeheartedly enthusiastic about Joe Biden, but I will be friggin' ecstatic when he wins. RidenWithBiden2020
No one is excited about Biden. They're excited about getting rid of Trump. I hope he gets voted out but would have preferred someone I actually liked rather than the lesser of 2 evils.
Right. Biden will not win, Trump will lose.
Why does NPR ask a Psychology question as to whether Donald Trump is displaying fascist behavior to: 1 News Editor and 2 History Professors? Would you ask your garbage man how to install a sewer pipe?
If we elect Biden, they will become another vote for the radical and far-left members of the democratic party.If the democrats grab hold of all the branches of government,say goodbye to checks and balances and hello to socialist policies that will take money from all our pockets.
Polls will tighten when Joe steps on the debate stage, or when he dodges the debate stage.
It’ll all change once Biden’s running mate is announced.
Undecided voters will be most affected by debates and Biden's VP choice. Former because we haven't seen the candidate take tough questions in months. Latter because case will be made that this person will be president by 2023 and if too left may hurt in swing states.
If Joe Biden doesn't win the election, there is absolutely no hope for this country and the people who voted for Trump, or didn't vote at all, get exactly what they deserve.
Polls are stupid. VOTE!
Wonder why?
Imo it doesn’t matter. Electoral college always wins. Who cares about popular votes. :-(
lmao
You forgot, 'Biden finally takes a cognitive test but won't release the results' & 'Biden won't debate President Trump, claiming 'High COVID19 cases in the City of Arizona''
The polls don't represent true numbers. Pollsters use landlines, most people have cell phones. Many voters don't want to become targets to the mob, so they don't identify as supporting Trump. Voter motivation for Biden is in the gutters with his dementia.
100 days to go, time for NPR to really ramp this chaos up.
It is insane that you don’t include foreign interference and republican voter suppression tactics. It is happening as a matter of record and you are a news agency. Tell the people what matters to democracy. One party is openly going to try to cheat the election. Report it.
Trump will win!
Lol sure.
the Brain Dead Joe Delusional Polls!
Uh, 10. Foreign interference
The fact that Democrats are burning down America- their hate is killing our country
One man could cause a landslide victory: JoeBiden
I so want to burn the lady's jacket and hat on the left side. Nothing says 'Hi, I'm a racist' like the MAGA hat.
*fewer than
Heartbreaking phone recordings though 😭
Race is 'expected to tighten' thanks to good ol' False Equivalency. There's Joe Biden, who makes 'verbal gaffes'. On the other, the President whose willful and deliberate negligence is responsible for 150,000 deaths. 3 months of these stories, weighting them equally.
Shut up with your horse race mentality. This is serious.
Can't wait for the debates.
Tell us about the debates. We’ll have those, right? Or have they been cancelled like the primaries?
Yeh, OK
I know you want it so bad to tighten, but Trump’s goose is cooked. He is finito. The economy & pandemic, both will continue to get worse, as will his poll numbers. Also NPR is the worst
“Joe Biden actually leaves his basement and talks in public unscripted” ought to be number 1.
“Both are relatively healthy for their age.” For you to not acknowledge that Biden is struggling with cognition is less than forthcoming. He clearly cannot be the president.
Why don't you write a story about Russia and bounties instead of this junk?
Nope the inaccuracy of polls are never to be trusted... REMEMBER 2016!!! trump is going to pull everything out of his arsenal to make sure his loyalists get out and vote and play the victim to make sure he wins! O btw remember Ivanka invests in voting machines!
Cheating by Trump and his administration. Just this 👈🏾nine times honestly.
You Protest? You voice your Opinion? Good Don't forget to VOTE NOVEMBER 3RD We have a country to save!
Foreign influence x9. Thanks NPR.
Here’s one factor. Biden does an interview.
WE’RE RIDING WITH BIDEN
Trump claiming china released a virus in the USA is the plan
I hate you 2016
