Biden Leading National Presidential Polls by Available247: 2:17pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
National polls are a good guide as to how popular a candidate is across the country as a whole, but they're not necessarily a good way to predict the result of the election. In 2016, for example, Hillary Clinton led in the polls and won nearly three million more votes than Donald Trump, but she still lost - that's because the US uses an electoral college system , so winning the most votes doesn't always win you the election. With that caveat aside, Joe Biden has been ahead of Donald Trump in most national polls since the start of the year. He has hovered around 50% in recent months and has had a 10-point lead on occasions. 3 Likes 1 Share

If American election are anything to go by, I wouldn't count on Mr. Biden to rejoice yet. Just like OP right posited with the example of 2015, Democrats know that they do need to win the Electoral College at the end of the day. And just like in 2015, I daresay that States such as Florida, Ohio, Arizona, North Carolina, Virginia will decide who becomes the next POTUS. Nnanyi Joe Biden, here's a piece of unsolicited advice for you and your team: You need to forget your Poll ratings and focus on those Swing states as all but Five of these Swing states went to Mazi Donald Trump in 2015. Focus on the Barmecide Feast called 'poll ratings' and watch History repeat itself again. Just like it happened in Nigeria few years ago, 12days from today, the US will have to choose amongst two evils, I do hope they learn from Nigeria's mistake and choose the lesser evil. Ighotago? Meanwhile, back to the matter, #EndPoliceBrutalityInNigeria 8 Likes |

Michealky:its you that don't understand US politics. Poll doesn't determine the winner. Its all about electoral college not who scored the highest vote across the nation. Meanwhile those polls are always skewed for democrats. Trump is going to win no doubt. He is even a better candidate. 4 Likes |

Ekemeze:My brother the world needs the US for conflict resolution. Let's stop kidding ourselves. Imagine how many countries ISIS would have been controlling by now if not for Trump. If US collapse today then WW3 is looming cos of Israel - Iran situation. Meanwhile Trump is never a racist. Do your research. They are just trying to stick on him for political reason. Checkout Trump before he became the President, you will agree he is not a racist. 4 Likes |

Ibadansun1:you are right.. Pennsylvania and Ohio might swing towards Trump these last days to election because of Bidens plan to ban fracking, which is a major business in those cities. Though he denied ever saying it, the Trump campaign organization have released the videos of him saying he will ban it.. The election is so unpredictable unlike our eelctions in Nigeria where we know who wins before elections.... |
