Donald Trump leaps to a 10-point lead over Joe Biden in the latest Washington Post poll.

Well, the big argument against Donald Trump as the Republican nominee has historically been that he is unelectable. That's been the argument against him because, obviously, he lost to Joe Biden in 2020. He didn't win the popular vote against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and squeaked out a win against her in that election cycle. and thus going up against Joe Biden again,

0:41.2

he is going to hit the same ceiling that he hit in 2016 and 2020, which is going to hit the same ceiling that he had in 2016 and 2020, which out a win against her in that election cycle. And thus, going up against Joe Biden again,

0:38.0

he is going to hit the same ceiling that he hit in 2016 and 2020, which was about 46% of the vote.

0:43.8

But if the polls start to show that Donald Trump actually does not have a ceiling at 46%, instead,

0:49.0

his ceiling is 50 or 51, the electability argument against Donald Trump goes completely away.

0:54.0

Well, now we have,

0:54.8

for the first time, a poll showing Donald Trump breaking that glass ceiling. According to the Washington

0:59.3

Post over the weekend, this poll shows Donald Trump over, over Joe Biden by 10 points. That is an

1:06.1

amazing poll. In fact, it's such an amazing poll that the Washington Post has already labeled

1:09.9

its own poll and outlier saying that you can take a poll. This is true. You can take a poll. And sometimes the selection of the people who are in the poll is a little bit weird and so you get an outlier poll. But the problem is this. Even if the poll is off by margin of error, five, six, seven points, that would demonstrate that Trump is still running dead even with Joe Biden, which again undercuts the

1:28.5

unelectability argument against Donald Trump. According to the Washington Post, Biden and former

1:33.1

President Trump appear headed for a rematch of their 2020 contest, although more than three and five

1:36.7

Democrats and Democratic leading independents say they would prefer nominee other than the president,

1:40.7

but Biden's advisors have argued he's still the strongest Democrat for 2024. It seems to me that there is the possibility that all this bad polling for Biden is leading up to an attempt to defenestrate Biden, to get rid of him, to toss him out a window, to find somebody else who can replace him. Presumably, that would not be one of the candidates we're currently talking about. You could see a situation in which Michelle Obama parachutes in from the rafters in order to sweep up the nomination by a claim.

2:05.6

One thing is for certain. Joe Biden running this week against Donald Trump is horrible for the

2:10.1

prospect of Joe Biden as the actual 2024 nominee. According to the post-ABC poll,

2:14.7

it shows Biden trailing Trump by 10 percentage points. But then the Washington Post qualifies that the sizeable margin of Trump's lead in the survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest a virtual dead heat. The difference between this polls and others, as well as the unusual makeup of Trump and Biden's coalitions in this survey, suggests it is probably an outlier. Again, this is the Washington Post to undermining its own poll. Now, I'm not going to do the poll unskewing. What I will point out is that this is the second presidential poll in the last three that chose Donald Trump with an actual sizable lead against Joe Biden. The last poll before this was an NBC News poll that showed them tied at 46%. The poll before that was a poll from the Messenger-Harris- X, which showed Trump up five. In fact, there is no poll with Joe Biden up more than
