Exclusive poll: Biden won the debate convincingly

A new poll by Data for Progress provided exclusively to Vox shows that viewers thought Democratic nominee Joe Biden decisively won Tuesday's first presidential debate against President Donald Trump, by a 52-39 margin.

The poll surveyed debate watchers but then weighted the demographics of the survey group to the population of likely voters in November. Most pollsters don't do this, which ends up skewing their results toward Democrats because left-leaning college graduates are disproportionately likely to watch debates.

But even with the more Trump-friendly weighting, the poll shows a clear win for Biden and, not coincidentally, a fairly overwhelming sense that Biden's conduct during the debate was more presidential.

but a poll taken before the pandemic would have revealed a high number of families who reported they are experiencing deep financial stress.

Thanks Trump!

And me, back when I voted for Perot. (I got better.)

IOW, undecided voter doesn't make any sense.

Undecided nonvoter makes a lot of sense.

If any of those 'undecideds' found Trump at all compelling last night, they weren't actually 'undecideds' after all.

I think there's a portion of these 'undecideds' that are eager for the attention afforded. In reality, they have their minds made up prior to the debate.

But honestly, who's legitimately undecided right now? Are there any DR posters that are undecided?

I mean I guess there is enough ignorance in this country that people will claim to be undecided. IOW, this is the group to fear in general, not just 2020. What in the hell are you people paying attention to if you're undecided this far in?

He has no power to enforce any loyalty once they are sworn into a lifetime position on the SCOTUS.

That doesn't matter. You know that.

Stop acting naive, Eb.

Give Pence some credit. He's been subjected to Trump for 4 years and he isn't as dumb as he looks - he's just really slimy.

Trump basically implemented the debate tactic (if you can even call it that) that Sarah Palin implemented: Don't answer the moderator's question, just spout the talking points.

People starting to go inside up north here...

We're finally making some headway in Southern California. The major issues now truly are the colleges. We've had a spike just from SDSU opening campus. SNOOFY knows what a ---- show it is up there, even currently. It was especially bad when all the kids came back, ready to party.

Believe me, 18-year-old-me would have done the exact same. And I hate myself for it. After 9/11, my outlook on life really changed. But I guess watching friends march off to war might have such an effect.

"A friend texted me this morning: Do you realize how crazy it is that police groups are endorsing a man who refuses to condemn white supremacy? Then they wonder why there is a lack of trust for the police in the black community?"

The FBI had good reason to believe white supremacist groups have been making major headway into the ranks of law enforcement. ----, and that was from a report back in 2006.

Jason Miller was just on MSNBC telling Chuck Todd that, in all actuality, Trump did disavow the Proud Boys "three times," and that Trump telling them to "stand back and stand by" was meant to influence them to allow police to do their jobs. If that was the case, he would have said "stand back and stand down." Anyone connected to the military knows that.

"Stand by" means be at the ready. Not "stand back." It's pathetic how stupid Jason Miller and his ilk perceive us to be.

You can be a natural contrarian without that.

I love you too RCADE. You big lug.

You're a contrarian by nature, I see.

the country is pretty evenly split, the address changes would be hurting both Parties

Aren't you paying attention? This isn't happening in a vacuum. It's more likely that Dems will vote by mail than Repubs.

Hence, this harms the Dems more than the Repubs.

And "Anarchist Jurisdictions" a great name for a band!

That's your take?

Hum.

This is especially true when the bad apple is in a position of power and leadership.

What is the prognosis post-falling down? Is that a reference to tipping over the edge? Meaning, there is no rectification or resurrection?

You brought up "white neighborhood" that's why I asked.
#48 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Yes, it was my mistake. Yet, you continued with the context.

I also imagine cops don't get shot at in that neighborhood if the rest is true.

Procedurally, that shouldn't have mattered. A gun owner that is reportedly suicidal and that had potentially been physically violent with his wife was the suspect at hand. The neighborhood they were in shouldn't have been a determining factor when expressing the potential use of lethal force or not. Did you see the other officer(s) wearing tactical gear? They showed up because of reports that Parscale was armed and threatening violence.

That kind of neighborhood. Do you suppose other white people live there?
#41 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Absolutely, why do you ask?

In that neighborhood?

Sorry, when I first read that, I thought it said "In a white neighborhood?"

That's not what you were alluding to, however, correct?
