We are not seeing flop sweat yet, but the recently Covid-infected acting president sounds more and more desperate at his maskless rallies. Did you know he saved the suburbs? Did you know the border wall he is “finishing” is now “over 400 miles long” (the southern border is 2,000 miles long) and Mexico is paying for it? He complained in Iowa that the news covered Iowa flooding and crop problems and a hurricane in Florida rather than his third Nobel nomination?
Maybe it is what his team is pumping into him (above) and maybe it is news like this Quinnipiac poll (Atlanta Journal Constitution):
Former Vice President Joe Biden has pulled ahead of President Donald Trump in the race for president in Georgia, according to the latest poll from Quinnipiac University. With early voting already underway in the state, the poll showed Biden at 51% and Trump at 44%.
The same poll shows big jumps for the Democrats in the two races for U.S. Senate races, too, with Rev. Raphael Warnock out to a large lead in the special election against Sen. Kelly Loeffler, with Warnock pegged at 44%, U.S. Rep. Doug Collins at 22%, and Loeffler at 20%.
In the race for Sen. David Perdue’s seat, Democrat Jon Ossoff has pulled also ahead of Perdue at 51% and Perdue at about 45% in the poll. Hitting the 50% threshold would significant for any candidate, especially in Georgia, where 50%+ one vote are required to win without a runoff.
There is a long way to go with many more Americans yet to vote and votes yet to be tallied. But this is Biden’s first statistical lead in Georgia with just under three weeks left before Nov. 3. Coattails could help Ossoff who still trails Perdue in the Real Clear Politics polling average. Quinnipiac reports 53% of Georgia voters disapprove of the acting president’s job performance job; only 45% approved.
Georgia likely voters also disapproved 54% to 44% of how he is handling the nation’s response to the Coronavirus. A majority, 55%, said that the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. is out of control, while 35% disagreed.
With a half-million absentee votes cast already next door in North Carolina, things are iffy there as well for Covid Donny:
Early voting in North Carolina starts there today. It should be epic.
Trump told his Iowa rally Wednesday evening, “If I don’t get Iowa, I won’t believe that one. I may never have to come back here again if I don’t get Iowa. I’ll never be back, you understand that?”
Promises, promises.
