Within Wisconsin, reports Fox, Biden leads Trump 50-42. On handling crime, Biden leads 47-42. On handling Covid-19, Biden leads 52-35. They are even on the economy. Trump's only significant lead is among white evangelicals; slight lead in rural area.https://t.co/KnsT8UzSNO
Trump also toured damaged buildings and talked with owners who were affected by the destruction.
A curfew that was in place in Kenosha for the more than a week after the police shooting of Blake was lifted today, another sign of increasing calm in the city.
The move came a day after the curfew was targeted as unconstitutional in a federal lawsuit.
The Blake shooting, captured on cellphone video, sparked protests that resulted in buildings being burned and vandalised and in the shootings of three demonstrators, two of whom died.
The most important poll I’ve seen to date:
Trump +33 over Biden among voters planning to vote in person.
Seventeen-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse has been charged in the August 25 slayings; his lawyer says it was self-defence.
Biden said that the officer who shot Blake should be charged, a sharp contrast to Trump's support-the-police message. The President called the violence "domestic terrorism," and made almost no mention of Blake.
Biden also plans to hold a community meeting in Kenosha.
Perhaps the best news for Biden is he's maintaining his strength among seniors (65+), who made up 24% of '16 voters in AZ/FL/MI/NC/PA/WI vs. just 21% elsewhere.
Biden is up 50-45 among seniors in the August polls, vs. 50-44 in June/July. Trump badly needs to change this.
It's very plain across most of the polls I've seen that Biden is underperforming against Trump on the economy, not riots and disorder, even given the chaos the pandemic has wreaked. I've seen no major discussion of this whatsoever. https://t.co/DswRtOQE4r
