A new Fox News poll finds former Vice President Joe Biden leading President Trump by 8 points nationally, with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee opening up wide leads among independents and older voters who broke for Trump in 2016.
The survey released Thursday finds Biden at 48 percent support and Trump at 40 percent, with 11 percent undecided or saying theyll support someone else. Trump and Biden were knotted at 42 percent in the same survey last month.
Biden leads by 17 points among voters aged 65 and older and by 13 points among independents.
Exit polls found older voters going for Trump by 7 points in 2016. Trump also won independents by 4 points.
Some Democrats have worried about polling that shows Biden facing an enthusiasm gap, but the Fox news survey found that Biden leads 53 percent to 41 among voters who say theyre extremely motivated to vote in November....................................

(2,260 posts)I'm sorry but I just can't really trust anything that originates with ANYTHING that Fox has a hand in. If Fox said the sky is blue I would look up to double check. I suspect the numbers, for the older voters anyway if not all, is far closer than that. Trying to scare the older demographic with a Biden victory to get all of them to go out and vote. I'm sure there's a little poll/study somewhere that shows them that way too many older people are not going out to vote because of fear of the pandemic. This is just an ploy to get those people out. In my opinion of course.
Sorry, but anything that bears the Fox brand is automatically suspect in my eyes.

(2,022 posts)Too bad they were way off on the poll that mattered.
These articles are starting to sound like the endless "Trump has no chance" stories we heard in 2016. Not helpful.
