6. Wish they had asked more precise questions.

According to the article, Real Clear Politics shows an approximate 10 point lead by Biden. So, we know at least that many prefer Biden’s vision for the US. I wish the poll had asked follow ups getting an idea for the reason for anger and fear.

We have to admit that in this country some portion of those people are reacting to the protests, defunding police and the violence shown in news sources. Even Trump supporters might give those answers to the question of direction of state of the nation, while blaming progressives, socialists, ANTIFA. minorities whoever. It will be at least some portion of the 43 - 44% that still support Trump. Final number that lays their feelings at the feet of Trump is higher than Biden’s current 54 - 55% but less than the poll number of angry and fearful. So let’s not let these poll numbers excite us too much or any complacency ithey may engender.
