Is it over for Joe?
According to a report from The New York Post, Donald Trump has pulled away from President Biden in two closely watched national polls following Biden’s disastrous debate last week: The New York Times poll and The Wall Street Journal poll.
From The New York Post:
The New York Times/Siena College survey published Wednesday showed Trump leading Biden, 81, by six percentage points (49%-43%) among likely voters — the largest lead the 45th president has enjoyed in any poll published by the outlet since 2015 — and eight points (49%-41%) among registered voters.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal showed Trump leading Biden by six points, 48%-42%, among registered voters, the biggest spread favoring the former president since at least late 2021.
Trump, 78, increased his lead over Biden by two percentage points from the last Times/Siena survey, which was published two days before the June 27 debate and showed the presumptive Republican nominee in front of his successor, 48%-44%, among likely voters.
In the WSJ poll, Trump’s lead over Biden grew by four percentage points from the last survey taken in late February, which showed the former president ahead of the incumbent by two points, 47%-45%.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Wednesday that reports Biden is considering dropping out of the race are incorrect.
