Why Joe Biden’s lead is different than Hillary Clinton’s

New polls released Sunday confirm it: Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a clear advantage over President Donald Trump heading into the first debate on Tuesday.

The New York Times/Siena College poll gives Biden a 49% to 41% lead over Trump among likely voters. The ABC News/Washington Post poll puts Biden ahead 54% to 44% among likely voters. (It’s a 6 point edge for Biden when Libertarian Jo Jorgensen and the Green Party’s Howie Hawkins are included.)

Biden may end up losing like Hillary Clinton (more on that in a minute), but Trump’s job is significantly harder this time around. While Trump trailed Clinton at this point, the race was simply much closer in 2016. CONT.
