Biden bests the president in a hypothetical matchup, 42% to 34%.

Former VP’s net favorability has taken a 5-point hit since Morning Consult began tracking in late January.

As former Vice President Joe Biden prepares to enter the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, he’s doing so as the front-runner, polling ahead of both fellow Democrats and President Donald Trump.

A new Morning Consult/Politico poll conducted April 19-21 among 1,992 registered voters found Biden leading the president by 8 percentage points in a hypothetical matchup, 42 percent to 34 percent. Biden has a significant edge over Trump among women (17 points), millennials (22 points) and independents (10 points).

The national, online survey has a 2-point margin of error.

Trump’s garnering roughly one-third of the vote in the early head-to-head test pales in comparison to that of the last incumbent president: At this point in the 2012 election cycle, then-President Barack Obama led Republican Mitt Romney by several points, polling consistently in the mid-to-high 40s, even after the 2010 tea party wave and backlash to the Affordable Care Act.

Along with his advantage over Trump, Biden has held a consistent lead in Morning Consult’s weekly tracking among likely Democratic primary voters. Three in 10 of those voters said the Delawarean was their top pick in the latest poll, followed by 24 percent who chose Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. (Biden’s 6-point advantage is similar to his average 7-point lead over the Democratic socialist in the 12 tracking polls.)

The polling suggests that Joe Biden is 8 points less creepy than President Trump.

 

[TheTexan]

The only thing this poll tells me is that Gen Z should be ashamed of themselves.

15% not voting?? It's disgraceful.

 

[phill4paul]

So, does anyone else wonder if the Democrat party can nominate a rich white man without imploding?

 

[AngryCanadian]

So the poll is saying that they would prefer another 8 more years of Obama? but this with Joe the pedo?
45% women would prefer biden? dispute his pedo?

45% need a reality check.

 

[ATruepatriot]

So? When the leftest of the leftists are polled Trump is STILL in the running. From this group polled Trump shouldn't have even 10%. They should not be proud at all that he is still in the running and Biden is only 8 points ahead among this selective group, they should be worried that any at all in this group would vote for him. lol

Anyone is an improvement over the current occupier in the white house.

I do not think this will last long...once people from the Obama Administration start getting indicted, Biden will lose his steam. Especially the China visits he has to answer for making his son, Hunter very wealthy.

They are also banking on that people have no memories. Biden has done and said things, in his past, that will definitely catch up to him.

These are the same polls that said Hillary was going to win in a landslide. Unfortunately for them, nobodies going to take those polls seriously.

Spot on... And of all people we should know how this polling works from Ron Paul's runs.

Morning Consult/Politico Poll Showing Biden +8 Over Trump Is Suspect, Just Look At Who Responded

The poll released yesterday by Morning Consult/Politico shows former Vice President Joe Biden with an 8 point lead over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. To many that is shocking because the president’s approval rating and numbers have been quite high at this point in his presidency, even higher than Barack Obamas during the first 2 years.

However, if you dig below the surface of the polling data, the reason for this anomoly becomes starkly clear. The poll shows this big of a lead because most polled were Democrats.

See the data below taken from the Morning Consult polling data publicly released.

The poll shows widespread support among women for Biden; of course it does, because Dem women were the biggest group polled.

The poll shows an obvious overrepresentation of those who voted Democrat in the last election.

As the 2020 election season heats up, beware of polling that has an agenda.

All I see is that with Biden & Bernie in that just pushes the rest of the dem candidates out . So the americans get to decide if the want trump or a career politician who has never had a real job , old school graft dem like biden or a blatant communist like bernie . Current odds are 50/50 . A lot riding on this for the future . If Trump wins it sets up Pence next which would guarantee sane but status quo economic policy whilst if the commie dems when they would try to put legislation in place with enough " free " things to crash the entire system in short order.

Or it shows that those that make such a big deal about such things might be very vocal, but are a very small minority even within the Dem party.

So zero mention of 'fakenews polls' in this thread so far.
Are we to assume polls are accurate now and MAGA supporters faith in polls has been restored after reporting of few recent polls showing MAGA's "50% approval".
Starting to wonder if Deep Stage might be playing 3D with both MAGA and Dem crowds.

So, does anyone else wonder if the Democrat party can nominate a rich white man without imploding?

They could be trying to emulate success of Trump (although he no longer identifies as a Democrat).

Quite a comprehensive mention of "fake news polls" in #14...

Ok I stand corrected.
Had very quickly scanned the page for word "fakenews" instead of reading all the content.

No problem You are right on point, it should be the very first suspicion. Of all communities Ron Paul supporters should absolutely know better after the hundreds of rigged polls we had to deal with.
