Public Policy Polling is out with wide ranging poll today….
Among the points….
All the talk is about Bernie and Warren by the media …But Biden has led the polling among Democrats from the jump and continues to…..
Biden gets the best margin in running against Donald Trump right now …
He leads Trump 53/39…..
No other Democratic prosepective candidate come’s with a double digit lead against Trump…
…
Public opinion on the Russia investigation continues to be pretty static, with Trump voters just wanting it to go away. 63% of them want Robert Mueller fired to end the investigation, compared to only 18% who are opposed to firing him. Overall though just 30% of voters think Mueller should be fired with 54% preferring to keep him on…
…
Just 13% of voters think Trump should pardon himself with 69% saying he should not. Even his own voters (27/39) lean against a self pardon with Clinton voters (5/91) again pretty unanimous in saying he should not…
…
It continues to look like Trump will probably have an uphill path to reelection in 2020. He polls at either 39% or 40% in half a dozen match ups against possible Democratic candidates that we tested him in. The strongest polling Democrat is Joe Biden, who leads Trump 53-39. Bernie Sanders leads him 49-40, Elizabeth Warren leads him 48-40….
One reason Trump may do so poorly in these match ups is that voters don’t think he’s fulfilled the core promise of his campaign to ‘Make America Great Again.’ Only 36% think he’s done that, to 58% who say he has not. Similarly only 36% of voters think Trump is honest to 57% who say he isn’t, and a 51% majority of voters outright say they think Trump is a liar to 39% who disagree with that characterization….
…
Polling on Laurel vs. Yanny brings no such clarity though. 21% say it’s Yanny, 20% say it’s Laurel…and 49% said they had no clue what we were asking about, perhaps a bit of a reality check on how tuned in most Americans are to the debates that consume people who spend all day on the internet….
Note…
Yes…. I support Biden for 2020….

These early PPP polls tend to be heavily weighted, and pushed, pro-Democrat agenda driven meant to get headlines. They aren’t exactly into this for scientific reasons.
Still, I am glad they attempted to poll on Yanny vs. Laurel, although they may be about three weeks late. They do show that Americans across the political spectrum correctly recognize that Michael Jordan is superior to LeBron James.
The poll shows a weakness in Trump that runs counter to the constant media attention Trump gets….
Whomever will be the eventual Democrat candidate to face Trump, assuming that will be the matchup, has not even begun to have been defined by Trump.
He tends to have a skill in driving down the favorablities of other politicians.
and needless to say, whomever emerges from a contentious Democrat primary process is going to take some major hits in that as well.
Good numbers for all three Democrats
Especially good numbers for ole’ Joe…..
Rudy Giuliani starts after Democratic 2020 Presidential poll leader Joe Biden on age….
Politico….
“He’s also too old,” Rudy Giuliani said of former Vice President Joe Biden. “He’s four years older than Trump.” Trump is 72 and Biden is 75; Giuliani is 74…..
Biden is too old – and so is Trump
Biden leads in the polling of Democrats
Has do so from the jump
Sanders, Trump and Biden Are ALL around the SAME age…..
The age thing is a non-starter….
Maybe your intellectual skills are as good as they always were,
I think that being in the late 60s is already too old – even though both Biden and Sanders show no age-related declines in their skills.
