RON’S COMMENT: A lot of conflicting polls today, especially in Ohio and Michigan….The Pennsylvania polls are good for Biden…. The Florida Monmouth poll gives Biden a 6-point lead among likely voters and a 5-point edge among registered voters. Quinnipiac shows a smaller margin and Trafalgar has Trump leading the Sunshine state…. North Carolina remains a 2-point race either way…. New Hampshire is looking good for Biden. It’s a state that Clinton barely won in 2016…. Notice: Blue states such as Connecticut and New Jersey are showing immense Biden leads––an indication why his national margin is bigger and steadier than his more modest swing-state margins.
Here are excerpts from Monmouth’s Florida poll report:
- “Florida’s sizable senior vote remains divided – 51% for Trump and 47% for Biden. Trump had a 2-point lead (49% to 47%) among voters aged 65 and older in September. Trump also has an edge among voters aged 50 to 64 (52% to 45%), a group that was evenly divided (48% to 48%) last month. Biden is able to offset these deficits with a strong showing among voters under 50 years old (57% to 35% for Trump, up from 53% to 38% last month).”
- “The Democrat maintains a large advantage among voters of color (68% to 23%) although his lead is smaller among Latino voters specifically (58% to 32%). These findings are virtually identical to Monmouth’s September results. According to the 2016 National Election Pool’s exit poll, Hillary Clinton won Florida’s Latino vote by 27 points (62% to 35%). Trump leads among white voters by 55% to 41%, but this is much smaller than his 32-point margin among white voters in the 2016 exit poll (64% to 32%).”
Here are excerpts from Quinnipiac’s Pennsylvania poll report:
- “Likely voters give Biden a positive favorability rating and Trump a negative one. For Biden, 51 percent have a favorable opinion of him and 43 percent have an unfavorable opinion. For Trump, 43 percent have a favorable opinion of him and 52 percent have an unfavorable opinion.
- “As the pressure builds and both campaigns circle their wagons around Pennsylvania, Joe Biden holds onto his lead as Donald Trump hopes to recreate his 2016 win there. What’s working to Biden’s advantage is his ability to stay above 50 percent support, and that voters like him better than they do Trump,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Mary Snow.
- “Fifty-eight percent of likely voters in Pennsylvania plan to vote in person on Election Day, while 41 percent say they have voted or will vote by mail or absentee ballot. That is in line with what voters in Pennsylvania said on October 21st, as 60 percent said they would vote in person and 40 percent said they had voted or will vote by mail or absentee ballot.”
