Latest Misleading Fox News Polls Shows Absentee Biden As 2020 Winner



Latest Misleading Fox News Polls Shows Absentee Biden As 2020 WinnerYou can’t get out to church, to your job, entertainment and sport venues, or even to your local gym, but just to cheer you up, Fox News style, while you’re government-confined to home in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic panic:‘Fox News Poll Shows Biden CRUSHING Trump by 25 Points in Swing Counties.’ (Mediaite, March 28, 2020). CRUSHING in upper case Mediate’s not CFP’s.
Biden hasn’t been seen or heard from, other than digitally from his Delaware home since the pandemic panic hit. He’s running a virtual presidential election campaign, eliminating town hall type rallies where he won’t be subjected to boos, hisses and sexual harassment complaints. Leading anti-Trump poll provider Fox News is showing the Democrat frontrunner as the clear Election 2020 winner when he’s not even there. Never mind that he hasn’t even been fingered as the DNC primary chosen candidate yet.
“A new Fox News poll shows former Vice President Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by a crushing 25 point margin in counties that were close in 2016.” (Mediaite)
How many misleading polls will there be by trusted Fox News between now and Election Day? And you would have to be a mathematical genius to negotiate your way through “the full results and crosstabs” of this latest poll.
“The poll shows Biden with a commanding 49-40 lead over Trump nationally and an eight-point lead in battleground states, but things are considerably more dire for Trump in counties where Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were within 10 points of each other in 2016:(Mediaite)

“The race remains a nine-point advantage for Biden over Trump when looking only at those voters extremely interested in the election (52-43 percent) and the former vice president has an eight-point edge in battleground states (48-40 percent). “However, Biden’s advantage grows to 25 points, 57-32 percent, in close counties (where Hillary Clinton and Trump were within 10 points in 2016)!”
And get this:
“The timing of the poll is encouraging for Biden as well, since it was taken during a week in which Trump saw Americans buoy his approval ratings to the highest of his presidency amid the coronavirus crisis, a sign that the rallying effect might not translate to support for Trump’s reelection.”
Shouldn’t someone be asking, Why wouldn’t it?
“The poll also found massive support for Biden’s pledge to choose a woman as his running mate:(Mediaite) “Meanwhile, by a three-to-one margin, voters like Biden’s commitment to choose a woman as his running mate. Overall, 63 percent approve of his promise to pick a female, while 20 percent disapprove (17 percent unsure). There is no gender gap, but voters under age 45 are 10 points more likely than those ages 45 and over to approve (70 vs. 60 percent). Among Democrats, approval climbs to 86 percent.”

Nothing about the many pledges already made and abandoned by Obama’s former vice president.
“Although Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is still carrying on a virtual campaign, Fox News did not poll Sanders against Trump in this survey.” (Mediaite)
Of course not, Sanders would be shown as the loser! Meanwhile, expect the odd break from television networks like CNN and MSNBC between now and election, but zero from poll-crazed Fox News. Democrats fret as Joe Biden becomes ‘irrelevant’ in coronavirus crisis Just days after his commanding primary victories in Florida, Arizona and Illinois, the coronavirus has turned former Vice President Joe Biden into a virtual prisoner of his Delaware home, where he’s reduced to sniping at President Trump from the family rec room. “He’s making himself irrelevant,” Saikat Chakrabarti, a former chief of staff to Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, told The Post, saying the virtual broadcasts were not helping. “We need action immediately, and Biden can’t do anything real right now.” -- More...
