Self-described investors, with at least $10,000 in household-owned stocks or mutual funds, back Biden by the slimmest of margins, 49%-48%. The final 2016 IBD presidential election poll showed Trump winning the group, 48%-42%.

Meanwhile, noninvestors are solidly behind Biden, 57%-37%. Regardless of their own voting preferences, investors seem to be warming to a Biden presidency and potential Democratic sweep. That would likely mean higher corporate taxes and higher taxes on investment gains. Yet the stock market’s rally last week came as a Biden victory looked more likely. Wall Street may be relieved that a court fight over the election’s outcome may be avoided. But investors also are hopeful that a Democratic boost in federal spending will offset any downside from tax hikes and more regulation.  Nick Note: I hate polling. Unfortunately people like me whoes job is to analyze things have got to consume them like oxygen in an election season. My sniff here is Uncle Joe’s voter tend to overstate their support for the candidate. in other words his supporters are not rock solid.  Heil Trump voters tend to be fanatics fiercely loyal and understate their support for Trump. My sniff is polling may be overstating Biden’s lead and understating support for Trump. If i take out my wigiee board the buga buga tells me this is a MUCH closer election then the pools are picking up and the race is very close. Trump has six crowd fests scheduled.  All will be  jam packed with screaming Trump Chumps  packed like sardines in a can and of course big dick real men do not wear masks. And hard nipples kick ass babes obviously do not do liposuction and they do not wear masks either.

Voters name the economy (29%) as the single-most important issue in the 2020 election, followed by the coronavirus response (23%), health care (14%), law and order (11%), race relations (7%) and the Supreme Court (7%).

Biden Vs Trump Voters: Which Are More Committed?

How secure is Joe Biden’s advantage over Donald Trump? A number of questions in the new IBD/TIPP election poll try to tease that out.

President Trump has an advantage when it comes to voter intensity. Among those who intend to vote for Trump, 83% back him strongly, vs. 62% among intended Biden voters.

IBD/TIPP finds that 11% of likely voters say they’re at least somewhat likely to change their mind before Election Day. Yet just 7% of intended Biden voters say they may change their mind, vs. 10% of intended Trump voters.

Despite Biden’s solid polling lead, just 38% of voters expect him to win, while 37% think Trump will prevail. Meanwhile, 48% think most of their neighbors will vote for Trump, and just 36% think their neighbors will mostly back Biden.
