Trump gains among independents against Biden, Warren
Quote:President Trump is gaining among independent voters in head-to-head matchups with the Democratic presidential front-runners, according to a new IBD-TIPP poll.
Former Vice President Joe Biden leads Trump by just 1 point among independents, which is down from Biden's 18-point lead among the voting group in September.
In a head-to-head matchup with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), 49 percent of independents backed Trump, while 43 percent threw their support behind the senator in the poll, which was released on Monday.
A 4-point gap separated Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Trump, with the president receiving 48 percent support among independents and Sanders garnering 44 percent.
Warren led Trump with independents by 2 points in the September poll, while Sanders led the president by 9 points.
The new poll comes as tensions between Trump and Biden have risen on the campaign trail as the president has intensified his attacks against the former vice president, accusing Biden of efforts to pressure Ukraine to dismiss a senior prosecutor who at one point had investigated an energy company where Biden's son had served as a board member.
There is no evidence that Biden advocated for the prosecutor's removal as a means of protecting his son.
Independent voters will likely play an impactful role in the 2020 general election. Forty-three percent of voters who said they identified as independent said they voted for Trump in 2016, while 42 percent went for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the Pew Research Center.
The IBD-TIPP poll was conducted from Sept. 26 to Oct. 3 among 900 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

The only other poll that has come out since the Ukraine thing surfaced is Quinnipiac. It tells the same story - the impeachment story is good for Trump. And really, really bad for Biden.
Quinnipiac, Oct 8th
Trump vs Warren: Warren +8
Trump vs Biden: Biden +1
Trump vs Sanders: Sanders +7
Quinnipiac, August 28
Trump vs Warren: Warren +12
Trump vs Biden: Biden +16
Trump vs Sanders: Sanders +14

RE: Trump gains among independents against Biden, Warren
I was reading an article in Politico this morning, although it leans left at least the articles there are rarely the nonsense of the WaPo.. here's a quote that caught my eye
“You saw when he stood out there and tried to say, not only should Ukraine investigate, but China should,” said Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.). “I don't think there’s any question we’ve got him on the run at this point.”
The democrats in the house have little interest in doing the right thing, seeking justice, protecting the union, improving the economy, or even governing. They appear to have one goal... get Trump. period.
Think of it, a congressman does not say that this looks bad, or there appears to be an issue, or I believe this is a problem... what does he say? "we've got him on the run"
Most of America is not blind, we see this. And for all of the Orange Man's faults, ( and they are many ) we know a set-up when we see it. So I say please...please have a roll call vote... go on the record.

Any nonpartisan onlooker could tell you the whole impeachment stuff was only going to help Trump, not hurt him. No idea why the D's thought it would be a good idea to further alienate independents with continued allegations, etc.
