Trump Internal Poll Shows Him Losing to Biden

An internal poll of 17 states taken by Mr. Trump’s campaign showed one possible opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., overtaking Mr. Trump in a head-to-head contest, according to people familiar with the numbers. Mr. Trump fared better in a matchup against Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, but Mr. Trump’s low approval numbers were dragging him down against the Democrats. It was unclear whether the campaign poll-tested anyone else in the field.

This is heartening news, but it is way too early to look at this as a horserace. Numbers will change. This election is basically going to be a prolonged street fight.

Trump will be whipping up anger with his rallies, which are the core of his election plan- get the base fired up and rely on all the free media that Trump gets.

We need a candidate who can counter-punch and go the distance. No playing nice. A brawler. I think Joe Biden could be that guy. He is normally polite and polished, but he can throw elbows as well.

Anyway, I am glad that early polls show Trump getting beaten, but we need to stay sharp and focused. This is going to be a long campaign with many battles along the way. We intend to win the War.

I would bet they did, and probably found out there are others that can beat him also.
