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.

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.

That's why Biden said he would try to put a cap on rent increases. It will never happen, but it gets people's attention.

Actually promising a better future is a better strategy than listing his 'achievements' IMO. Problem is everyone remembers how they didn't get their 2k covid checks, or how their student loans weren't forgiven.

And every one of those stupid motherfuckers blames Biden instead of the republicans who stopped them....

I don't think that's true, most people probably do blame republicans if I had to guess. Do you have any source for that?

If you're only response to voters not liking you is "well they're just stupid" then you're gonna loose. Thats how democracy works.
