"SNIP.......

(CNN)Poll of the week: A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump 52% to 43% in a general election matchup.

An average of all polls this month puts Biden's advantage at a similar 7 points.

What's the point: For all intents and purposes, the general election campaign is underway. Yes, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is still running, but he has no realistic path to winning the Democratic nomination. That means that it's Biden vs. Trump.

And the President starts out in a very unusual place for an incumbent: behind. Trump is the first incumbent president to be trailing at this point in the general election cycle (i.e. late March in the election year) since Harry Truman in 1948.

During a crisis. Bush 9/11 went to 90% and then see how much he plummeted at the end. 55% is pretty bad for a president during a crisis.

into office. As far as living with even another year of tRUMP, it's up to us to guarantee a fair and
secure election so we can get rid of all the cultists.

and not conducted scientifically. That's why he was able to hold a headline that said Dewey Defeats Truman.
When you consider that, Trump's polling is worst ever.
