Biden's lead is the steadiest on record

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/10/politics/biden-polling/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_allpolitics+%28RSS%3A+CNN+-+Politics%29

(CNN)Poll of the week: A new Monmouth University poll finds that former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump 50% to 41%. When Rep. Justin Amash is included as the Libertarian Party candidate, it's Biden 47%, Trump 40% and Amash 5%.

The poll is largely in line with the average poll since April that puts Biden 6 points ahead of Trump nationally.
What's the point: Biden's lead is about as steady as it can possibly be. Not only is he up 6 points over the last month or so, but the average of polls since the beginning of the year has him ahead by 6 points. Moreover, all the polls taken since the beginning of 2019 have him up 6 points.

The steadiness in the polls is record breaking. Biden's advantage is the steadiest in a race with an incumbent running since at least 1944. That could mean it'll be harder to change the trajectory of the race going forward, though this remains more than close enough that either candidate could easily win.

Joe doesn't have to do much other than sit back and let IQ45 continue to make an ass of himself daily.

That's worked rather well up to this point, but instead, WE must work VERY HARD because we know that IQ45's gonna be getting Russian help as we get closer to November, plus there's always the chance that the RepubliCons can work an October surprise on us.

The key to winning: GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!

It is so much fun to watch him continue to give great sound bites to their own "Lincoln Project!"

Trump will be unable to shake the deep dislike he has engendered. The real only question, is that dislike concentrated to much as to lead to a narrow EC loss.

I remember going to bed around 9pm.
At 2Am I woke up to go to the bathroom, and I checked my phone for the results. Then depression ensued.
