The survey, which was conducted from Oct. 16 to 18, shows that a majority of likely voters (51 percent) now say they are voting for the Democratic nominee, while just 40 percent say they are voting for Trump. Bidens lead, which is identical among registered voters, has grown by 3 points since last weeks Yahoo News/YouGov poll.
The president has struggled to rebound over the past three weeks from a widely panned first debate performance and a COVID-19 outbreak that sent him to the hospital and sickened others in and around the White House. Yet the main reason Trump appears to have fallen even further behind Biden in recent days is that coronavirus cases are peaking just as the campaign is coming to a close. On Friday, new daily cases cleared 70,000 nationwide for the first time since July; hospitalizations are increasing in 39 states, and are at or near their all-time peak in 16 states.
Trump vented his frustration with the coronavirus on a campaign call Monday, saying, People are tired of COVID. I have these huge rallies. People are saying, Whatever. Just leave us alone. Theyre tired of it. People are tired of hearing [Anthony] Fauci and all these idiots.

But, you know, no matter how tired one gets of something or someone, that alone doesn't make it go away.

(19,001 posts)So great not to hear a chorus of "the race is tightening" from the nightly news.
The race is not tightening, the lead has been over 10 for a week and half and is pushing 11 now.

We had no idea how much worse a president could be. To call him the worst president in history is putting it mildly.

(16,646 posts)Which may be just as useful. Once you've hit 51 percent, nonvoters mostly hurt the other guy.
