Good news, Democrats. In a hypothetical Biden vs Trump matchup, the Democrats would prevail.

Politics
In even more good news, this information comes from a recent Fox News poll (yes, Fox, of all places), which admits that ‘The Donald’ would lose by 7 percentage points in a possible Biden vs Trump contest.

Joe Biden hasn’t even entered the 2020 presidential race as of yet (although he is widely expected to soon), but his star power as President Obama’s vice-president has him already eclipsing the existing Democratic field.  Although it’s a deflating dose of reality to the current candidates, it’s giddy news for Democrats who are salivating to run Donald Trump out of the Oval Office ASAP.

Biden vs Trump

When pollsters asked whom they would like to see win the nomination from a list of 20 potential candidates, 31% of Democratic primary voters choose Joe Biden.  Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont came in second with 23%, followed by California Sen. Kamala Harris and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke tied at 8%,  with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker in last place with 4%.

Additionally, 2% or fewer Democratic primary voters chose the other potential candidates while 11% said they are still unsure whom they will vote for.

Overall, 67% of Democratic primary voters said they would relish a Biden vs Trump presidential win for their party, while 19% said they hope he stays out of the race.

A reluctant Fox News acknowledged that if the election were held today, 47% of voters would vote for Biden while only 40% would support Donald Trump.  A similar Quinnipiac poll was also favorable toward Biden and the Democrats.  These numbers don’t factor in the boost Biden would get from a potential vice-presidential running mate.

Biden vs Trump

“Democratic primary voters would welcome Biden into the field, should he run,” said Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, who conducted the Fox News Poll with Republican Daron Shaw. “They prioritize beating Trump, and as of now, Biden fares best of the more widely known Democratic candidates against Trump.”

The poll was conducted from March 17-20 and included a random sample of 1,002 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.  Interestingly, the poll was conducted before 2 women came forward to say they believe Biden was sexually inappropriate toward them.

BIDEN VS TRUMP

If accurate, the numbers suggest that should Joe Biden enter the race as expected, the other Democrats will soon drop like timber and likely unify the party to coalesce behind a single candidate much quicker than most expected.

Biden appears to be the strongest opponent to Trump IF Biden runs….and that may be even less of a possibility now given that, as of yesterday, a 2nd woman has come forward and accused him of “inappropriate touching.”

He’s 76 y/o…will turn 77 in Nov. this year. Despite nearly 40 yrs of public service (including 8 yrs as Pres. Obama’s VP) he may decide that all the vetting he’ll STILL have to endure is just NOT worth it after all.

“Second woman accuses Biden of inappropriate touching” A Connecticut woman accused Joe Biden of touching her inappropriately while she was volunteering at a political fundraiser in 2009, adding to the scrutiny the former vice president is facing for overly familiar physical contact with women as he mulls a run for the White House. Amy Lappos, 43, told the Hartford Courant on Monday that Biden pulled her close to him to rub noses while she was working at a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.). “It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head,” Lappos said. “He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.” Lappos’ allegation came three days after Lucy Flores, a former Nevada state lawmaker, accused Biden of an “awkward kiss”… Read more »

I have to say I knew watching Joe Biden being affectionate all the time was going to catch up to him one day. The thing about it is I don’t think he was being sexual. I think that is just his way of trying to be connected with people. He just goes too far and doesn’t realize it is creepy. But like that anonymous person said Trump has done a lot worse and it has not stopped him yet. So I think Joe Biden is still the man to beat.

USA Today:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said accusations of inappropriate behavior against former Vice President Joe Biden should not prevent him from seeking the Democratic nomination in 2020.

“I don’t think it’s disqualifying,” the California Democrat said Tuesday at a Politico event when asked about the allegations against Biden by two women.

She said Biden, who has long been known to be physically affectionate toward his male and female friends, needs to improve his understanding of the importance of people’s personal space.

“He has to understand that in the world we’re in now that people’s space is important to them,” Pelosi said.

Vox: Joe Biden’s presidential campaign has not yet launched, but it’s already rocked by a long-simmering controversy over the propriety of his interactions with women. A former Nevada state legislator named Lucy Flores wrote a personal essay that New York magazine published on Friday, in which she describes an encounter with Biden at a 2014 campaign event. Flores says the then-vice president came up behind her, touched her shoulders, and kissed the back of her head. The behavior, she says, wasn’t criminal, but it made her feel uncomfortable. Amy Lappos, a former congressional aide who recalls Biden rubbing noses with her at a 2009 fundraiser, similarly says the incident “wasn’t sexual” but also that there’s “absolutely a line of decency” and “a line of respect” that Biden crossed. Flores’s account has raised some of the usual questions about what exactly happened and whose memory is correct. But the real issue… Read more »
