Fox News Poll: Biden tops Trump among likely voters in key states

https://www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-biden-tops-trump-among-likely-voters-in-key-states


Democrat Joe Biden is ahead in three key states that President Donald Trump won in 2016, according to new Fox News statewide surveys of Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.

Support for reelecting Trump falls below his 2016 vote share in each state. At the same time, there’s room for improvement, as more voters approve of his job performance than back his reelection.

Biden’s advantage comes from strong support among women and suburban voters. Moreover, suburban women in all three states trust Biden over Trump to handle coronavirus and policing/criminal justice.

Interest in the election is roughly the same among both Biden and Trump supporters.

In all three states, a sizeable number of voters plan to cast their ballot by mail -- and in each state, many more Democrats than Republicans plan to do so.

The surveys, conducted after both national conventions ended, include results among likely voters for the first time this cycle. This is also the first time the presidential vote preference question includes the names of both the presidential and vice presidential candidates -- plus the Libertarian and Green Party candidates are now included when they are on the state’s ballot. These differences mean no apples-to-apples comparison to past survey results.

While Election Day is two months away, voters can request and return absentee ballots starting this week in North Carolina and mid-September in Wisconsin. In Arizona, absentee ballots are available early October.

Conducted August 29-September 1, 2020 under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company (R).

Outrage after Trump excludes US from WHO-backed global vaccination cooperation pact

The administration of United States President Donald Trump has said it will not work with an international cooperative effort to develop and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine, because it does not want to be constrained by multilateral groups like the World Health Organization (WHO).

The decision to go it alone, first reported by The Washington Post, follows the White House's decision in early July to pull the US out of the WHO. Trump claims the WHO is in need of reform and is heavily influenced by China.

Provoking a flurry of critical reactions from health experts and lawmakers, the Trump administration’s announced Tuesday afternoon that it will not participate in the “global effort to develop, manufacture, and equitably distribute a coronavirus vaccine, in part because the World Health Organization is involved”—a decision the Washington Post said “could shape the course of the pandemic and the country’s role in health diplomacy” going forward.

The purpose of the Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access (Covax) Facility is to “speed vaccine development and secure doses for all countries and distribute them to the most high-risk segment of each population,” explained the Post.

While more than 170 countries are in negotiations to participate in Covax, Judd Deere, a spokesperson for the White House, told reporters that “The United States will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus, but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China.”

DHS withheld July intelligence bulletin calling out Russian attack on Biden’s mental health

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dhs-withheld-july-intelligence-bulletin-calling-russian-attack/story?id=72747130&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_hero_hed

In early July the Department of Homeland Security withheld publication of an intelligence bulletin warning law enforcement agencies of a Russian scheme to promote “allegations about the poor mental health” of former Vice President Joe Biden, according to internal emails and a draft of the document obtained by ABC News.

The draft bulletin, titled “Russia Likely to Denigrate Health of US Candidates to Influence 2020 Election,” was submitted to the agency’s legislative and public affairs office for review on July 7. The analysis was not meant for public consumption, but it was set to be distributed to federal, state and local law enforcement partners two days later, on July 9, the emails show.

Just one hour after its submission, however, a senior DHS official intervened.

“Please hold on sending this one out until you have a chance to speak to [acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf]," wrote DHS Chief of Staff John Gountanis, according to an email obtained by ABC News.

That was nearly two months ago. But the bulletin was never circulated.

Russia is still interfering in U.S. elections

Putin critic Alexei Navalny poisoned with Soviet-era nerve agent, Germany says

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexei-navalny-news-nerve-agent-novichok-found-putin-foe-germany-says/

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was the victim of an attack and poisoned with the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok, the German government said Wednesday, citing new test results. Navalny, a politician and corruption investigator who is one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics, fell ill on a flight back to Moscow from Siberia on Aug 20 and was taken to a hospital in the Siberian city of Omsk after the plane made an emergency landing.

He was transferred two days later to Berlin's Charité hospital, where doctors last week said initial tests indicated Navalny had been poisoned.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said in a statement Wednesday that testing by a special German military laboratory had now shown "proof without doubt of a chemical nerve agent from the Novichok group."

"It is a dismaying event that Alexei Navalny was the victim of an attack with a chemical nerve agent in Russia," Seibert said. "The German government condemns this attack in the strongest terms."


...and Donald Trump wants Putin and Russia to be re-admitted into the G7 group...he won't condemn Putin whatsoever...

Wow! Interesting discovery and analysis by Tucker Calson..Recent Audio leaks of CNN's Cuomo having a chat with Michael Cohen (audio from 1:28) Notably, Cuomo affirmed that ''the Media is not your friend''

Strange coming from Tucker Carlson who is being investigated for some 'serious' allegations, who supports Trump that bragged about grabbing women's Instruments without their consent, and walking into the dressing room of his 'naked' pageants and have 20+ claims against him.

Tucker is like a t-shirt somebody forgot to tuck in.

Drudge resurrects ‘leg dragging’ claims after Trump tweets denial of ‘mini strokes’

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/thats-gotta-hurt-drudge-resurrects-leg-dragging-claims-after-trump-tweets-denial-of-mini-strokes/?utm_source=push_notifications

This Tuesday, President Trump denied that he had a “series of mini strokes” months ago that resulted in him visiting Walter Reed hospital.

“It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes,” Trump tweeted. “Never happened to THIS candidate – FAKE NEWS. Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!” he added, pointing to Joe Biden.

In the wake of the story, people noticed that the conservative outlet Drudge Report published an article featuring images of Trump losing his balance and dragging his feet.

Other said that Drudge’s adversarial reporting on Trump is not a good sign for the GOP in 2020.

Biden Expected to Surpass $300 Million Raised in August, Shattering Record

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/01/us/politics/biden-trump-fundraising-election.html


Joseph R. Biden Jr. is expected to report a record-breaking haul of donations for August, raising more than $300 million between his campaign and his shared committees with the Democratic Party, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The sum would shatter past monthly records as small donors have poured money into Mr. Biden’s coffers, especially since the selection of Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, and big contributors, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, have given checks that can be as large as $721,300.

In a sign of the financial momentum behind Democrats, ActBlue, the main site that processes donations to the party, reported the second-biggest fund-raising day in its history on Monday, with more than $35 million donated. A majority of Mr. Biden’s August total came from online grass-roots donors, according to another person familiar with the figures.

The Biden campaign had previously announced that it raised $48 million in the first 48 hours after Ms. Harris was named as Mr. Biden’s vice-presidential choice. Together with the Democratic convention, those two periods add up to nearly $120 million raised in just six days.

ActBlue has processed at least $11 million in donations every day since Ms. Harris was chosen three weeks ago. In the preceding 41 days, the site had processed that much in a day only twice.

‘Trump has lost our votes’: Georgia evangelicals deliver scathing denunciation of ‘cruel’ president

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/trump-has-lost-our-votes-georgia-evangelicals-deliver-scathing-denunciation-of-cruel-president/

Two evangelical Christians from Georgia who backed President Donald Trump in 2016 now say that he has lost their support — although they so far are not committed to backing Democratic rival Joe Biden.

In an editorial published in The Hill, Georgia voters Ryan and Katharine Hurlburt have written a scathing denunciation of the president, whom they say has gone against their Christian values with his harsh treatment of migrants.

“His immigration policies have proven harmful and cruel, undercutting his stated commitments to life and religious freedom,” they write. “For instance, while we cherish unborn lives, we equally value the lives of thousands of children who were separated from their mothers or fathers by the administration’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy at the Mexican border in 2018.”
