Trump leads Biden in latest national poll
By: Sarah Polus (The Hill)
Yup, the polls are flopping around like fish on a red tide beach. We know that either Biden or Trump will squeak out a margin-of-error win in November in spite of public desire for better candidates. The country is going to be stuck with a President that a majority of people do not want.
Do we need any other proof that our political system is rigged and our elections are a fraud?

Former President Trump is leading President Biden among potential voters in the upcoming presidential election, an Emerson College Polling national survey released Thursday found, with Biden's polling rate dropping since early April.
Trump leads Biden 46 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll. Support for Biden dropped 2 percentage points since the previous Emerson College poll in early April, while Trump's polling stayed at 46 percent.
Another 12 percent reported being undecided, according to Thursday's results. When undecided voters were pressed to pick a candidate, Trump's support rose to 51 percent, while Biden's climbed to 48 percent.
When independent candidates were thrown into the mix, support for Trump dropped to 44 percent and 40 percent for Biden. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received 8 percent of support, another 8 percent reported being undecided, and 1 percent supported Cornel West.
Among issues that voters cited as most critical in forming their opinion of each candidate were the economy and immigration. When asked about specific economic issues, 70 percent said they think the cost of living is rising, and that 70 percent was more likely to support Trump over Biden, the survey found.
"Voters who think the cost of living is rising support Trump over Biden, 56% to 32%," said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. "Those who feel the cost of living is easing or staying the same support Biden over Trump, 94% to 6% and 67% to 18%"
The Israel-Hamas war also came up as a point of contention among the polled voters, with a plurality of voters, 44, percent, saying they feel they're not getting the full picture when it comes to the war.
"Perceptions of receiving accurate war information show a significant split," Kimball said. "Biden leads among those who think they are getting accurate information (53% to 36%), while Trump leads among skeptics (53% to 38%). Those unsure are divided, with 44% leaning toward Trump and 42% toward Biden."
The Emerson College Polling survey was conducted April 16-17 among 1,308 registered voters and has a 2.6 percent margin of error.

Yeah, right, democracy is working. Just look at who we'll have to choose between.
Don't gaslight voters that elections ain't rigged. The ballot proves otherwise.
Notice where Biden has spent the last few days.
Pennsylvania is an absolute must for Biden. He can't win without it.
No, but I have noticed where Trump has spent the last few days.
And Trump still leads Biden is some polls. What's that say about Biden? Oh, I know, blame the voters.
Right where democrats intend to keep him while Biden campaigns.
Trump did score a big hit after the court day ended. He only needed to take a walk to where a bodega owner was attacked.
Tomorrow Trump has another big rally.
BTW, many thanks to Joe Biden for screwing up his attempt at trying to be as authentic as Trump.
Right where he belongs.
So no one could convince any rational people to run against the two old fucks?
Why would a rational person choose to enter politics in the United States? The political system in the US has been so corrupted that we can only expect candidates of the caliber of Biden and Trump. The two political parties have sold out the United States for the sake of scoring political points.
And voters are only allowed to choose between candidates representing the two parties (not voters). The 2024 ballot will be the only needed proof that our elections are stolen. There's no other explanation for a rematch between Biden and Trump. Oh, I know, blame the voters. Just don't blame those responsible for our rigged democracy.
But notice where Melania has spent the last last few days!!!
I rarely put any thought into what Melania is doing. I imagine nothing productive.
“But notice where Melania has spent the last last few days!!!”
There promises to be yet another court date in his future. Prenup anyone?
Oh, look, an entertaining squirrel.
Is this a prelude to advocating for a Michelle run?
The country loses, no matter who wins. Biden may need Pennsylvania but the country needs better candidates. For 2024, the freakin' winner will be a loser.
Now explain why our elections aren't stolen.
“Now explain why our elections aren't stolen.”
No election in recent history has ever been ‘stolen’. There are far too many implements in place to assure integrity into our most sacrosanct of institutions. To deny it is purely sanctimonious.
Despite Democrats and Republicans alike making the claim.
“Despite Democrats and Republicans alike making the claim.”
All baseless.
And yet, for some reason, only one person is facing "charges".
Sure wish you would inform your fellow progressives of that fact.
Far too many nutjobs keep claiming Trump tried to steal it.
