Donald Trump has not received a poll boost in the first presidential election survey conducted since the failed assassination attempt on Saturday.

The poll, conducted by Morning Consult of 2,045 registered voters on Monday, reveals that Trump is leading Joe Biden by just one percentage point on 46 percent, compared to the president’s 45 percent. The poll has a margin of error of +/- two percentage points.

    See 2020. The same result is quite likely. I don’t care what any new organization or poll says. Don’t care.

    • In a news report the wife of the deceased said Biden called but she refused the call because the husband was a die hard republican, when asked she said no one from the trump side called.

        Dang. I would pick up for Biden. I think he’s the kind of guy who would talk to you for hours at a BBQ with a nice beer 🍻. Politics is definitely not everything. I think that’s what pisses me off so much about Trump. Man I wanna do all the things in my bucket list before I’m expired but somehow in the background these assholes keep making unnecessary problems. I gotta work on my yard, I got programming to do and kids to entertain but nahhh…the social security money is running out, or nuclear war ahead, or we’ll be deporting all LGBTQA people to Cuba. And it just demands attention constantly. Even though we only vote the one time and our vote doesn’t even count towards electing the president. That’s why I would love to have a constant vote app…you can vote Trump today and if tomorrow he screws up, just remove your vote. If enough people unvote, he’s out.

      That seems like an odd sentiment. I’m no Trump supporter, but I can imagine a mindset of “hold on, my family died supporting you and you’re going to give up?”

    Well, his “followers” where already convinced to vote for him, and he’s so far out that people that did not follow him already actually have enough brain to not equate “assassination attempt” with “he’s a hero”, so there’s that.

    The shooting changed no ones votes yet it completely demoralized the Dems to the point that their leadership think its over. The reason is they don’t know what to campaign on anymore. They’re too scared to run a negative campaign anymore. But they are also incapable of running any sort of positive campaign.

    I just never saw why he would. The people voting for him are cultists. The people against him have already been disgusted by him in one way or another, I just can’t imagine how getting grazed would change their minds.

    He does poll much higher than Harris in some polls that show up on Fivethirtyeight but it hardly makes much sense to include those polls, imo.

    I just hope he gets the post-shooting boot. Let him go back to making terrible shows and not running our country.

    There are a number of conflicting polls but realize that they can’t account for things like “enthusiasm gap” which definitely cuts in Trump’s favor at the moment. That said, the newscycles have been so insane lately, who knows what the next 10 inflection points before the election will bring.

    People are in their trenches. Nothing is going to change that. It’s not like a lot of Trump voters, if any, would all of a sudden vote for Joe Biden if some ass had tried to kill him.
