bipartisanreport--2020-06-02--Trump Awkwardly Caught Asking Melania To Smile During Photo Op (VIDEO)

On Monday , cops attacked peaceful demonstrators outside the White House just to clear a path for President Donald Trump to hold a bizarre photo op at a local church .
The incident unfolded amidst days of intense national unrest that exploded following the police murder of a black man named George Floyd , in Minneapolis , Minnesota , and the demonstrations have focused on broader problems of socially-embedded racism in the United States .
That racism has led to the deaths of a staggeringly long list of black Americans at cops ’ hands .
Where was Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upon staging a photo op at a Catholic place of prayer in D.C. , where he was caught on camera apparently asking First Lady Melania Trump to smile for the camera .
Outside of the context of this latest bizarre display from the president and First Lady , Trump attracted steep criticism for ever trying to use local churches and religious sites for photo ops in the first place .
Washington Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory , for instance — who is the highest-ranking black bishop in the United States — roundly condemned the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles , which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree .
Saint Pope John Paul II… certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence , scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.
’ The president has so far ignored the substance of the nationwide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calling for shows of force that “ dominate ” the demonstrators , many of whom are entirely peaceful and most of whose actions are entirely legal — and who showed up in the first place because of police brutality .

He was focused upon staging a photo op at a Catholic place of prayer in D.C., where he was caught on camera apparently asking First Lady Melania Trump to smile for the camera.

Outside of the context of this latest bizarre display from the president and First Lady, Trump attracted steep criticism for ever trying to use local churches and religious sites for photo ops in the first place.
As the president stopped by the Saint John Paul II Shrine in DC today, Catholics protested nearby and the archbishop of Washington called the visit "baffling and reprehensible." My story: https://t.co/hTYsqHNFn1 — Michael J. O'Loughlin (@MikeOLoughlin) June 2, 2020
Washington Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory, for instance — who is the highest-ranking black bishop in the United States — roundly condemned the spectacle, stating:
‘ find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. Saint Pope John Paul II… certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.’
NEW: Just before Pres. Trump arrived at Saint John Paul II National Shrine, Washington Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory, the nation's most senior African American bishop, issued a blistering statement, saying the Shrine was being "misused" by Trump. https://t.co/wjEYGiBMtn pic.twitter.com/ngQNR5t0mB — ABC News (@ABC) June 2, 2020
The president has so far ignored the substance of the nationwide protests, instead opting to focus on calling for shows of force that “dominate” the demonstrators, many of whom are entirely peaceful and most of whose actions are entirely legal — and who showed up in the first place because of police brutality.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-02--Top GOP Senators Break With Trump Over Treatment Of Protesters

In the wake of his latest violence against protesters who happened to be supporting a cause that he doesn ’ t particularly care about , President Donald Trump can not even count on the support of the members of the Republican Party .
Figures including Republican Senators Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Tim Scott of South Carolina have condemned a debacle on Monday when cops attacked peaceful anti-police brutality protesters in D.C. just to get them out of the way of a Trump photo op at a local church .
The protesters were peacefully and legally demonstrating — and in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president to pose for photos next to a church , they were attacked .
Trump briefly held up a Bible outside St. Johns Church after cops violently cleared demonstrators from the area .
He shushed reporters who asked him about the threat that he issued just moments prior to send the military into U.S. cities if local authorities fail to get the widespread protest situation under control , and after he held the Bible in an awkward pose for a short time , he went back to the White House .
Priests who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who got affected by the reported tear gas that was released ahead of the president ’ s not previously announced visit .
Senator Tim Scott ( R-S.C. ) added after noting that he didn ’ t think the president ’ s photo op was particularly “ helpful ” : Trump , for his part , has almost entirely refused to acknowledge that the violent attack on peaceful protesters even took place .
In reality , no matter his delusional self-congratulations for a supposed job well done , there was violence in the nation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police .
Cops attacked protesters to the point that dozens had to hide out in someone ’ s home until the morning , and in a separate incident , a military helicopter conducted a “ show of force ” flyover in which they hovered barely 100 feet above the ground in an attempt to intimidate Americans in the president ’ s metaphorical backyard .
Amidst the violence , Trump did get the support of at least one prominent Republican .
In other words , at least some Congressional Republicans continue to prove their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of power run rampant in the United States .

In the wake of his latest violence against protesters who happened to be supporting a cause that he doesn’t particularly care about, President Donald Trump can not even count on the support of the members of the Republican Party. Figures including Republican Senators Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Tim Scott of South Carolina have condemned a debacle on Monday when cops attacked peaceful anti-police brutality protesters in D.C. just to get them out of the way of a Trump photo op at a local church. The protesters were peacefully and legally demonstrating — and in order to clear the way for the president to pose for photos next to a church, they were attacked.
Just spoke with Rev. Gina Gerbasi of St. John's Episcopal Church in Georgetown who was at St. John's across from WH yesterday. She says she and others were driven from the area by force. “It was completely unprovoked. I didn’t hear bullhorns saying ‘the president’s coming.’” — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) June 2, 2020
Sasse commented:
‘There is no right to riot… But there is a fundamental—a Constitutional—right to protest, and I’m against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the Word of God as a political prop.’

Trump briefly held up a Bible outside St. Johns Church after cops violently cleared demonstrators from the area. He shushed reporters who asked him about the threat that he issued just moments prior to send the military into U.S. cities if local authorities fail to get the widespread protest situation under control, and after he held the Bible in an awkward pose for a short time, he went back to the White House. Priests who worked at the church are among those who got affected by the reported tear gas that was released ahead of the president’s not previously announced visit.
"In Lafayette Square, one of the visiting priests attending to St. John’s was sprayed with tear gas as she attempted to help scared demonstrators leave the area, said Bishop Budde."https://t.co/3KGuS2Nlo5 — Katie Rogers (@katierogers) June 2, 2020
Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) added after noting that he didn’t think the president’s photo op was particularly “helpful”:
‘But obviously, if your question is, should you use tear gas to clear a path so the president can go have a photo-op, the answer is no.’
Trump, for his part, has almost entirely refused to acknowledge that the violent attack on peaceful protesters even took place.
Early Tuesday morning, he tweeted:
‘D.C. had no problems last night. Many arrests. Great job done by all. Overwhelming force. Domination. Likewise, Minneapolis was great (thank you President Trump!).’

In reality, no matter his delusional self-congratulations for a supposed job well done, there was violence in the nation’s capital at the hands of police. Cops attacked protesters to the point that dozens had to hide out in someone’s home until the morning, and in a separate incident, a military helicopter conducted a “show of force” flyover in which they hovered barely 100 feet above the ground in an attempt to intimidate Americans in the president’s metaphorical backyard.
A U.S. military helicopter used a "show of force" maneuver as protesters gathered in Washington, D.C. on Monday night. It's a tactic often conducted by low-flying jets in combat zones to scare away insurgents. https://t.co/g9kocdpz8G https://t.co/yMvx6eVuWZ — The New York Times (@nytimes) June 2, 2020

Amidst the violence, Trump did get the support of at least one prominent Republican.
Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley said:
‘I don’t know whether they were all peaceful or not, looked like they were peaceful, but only the policemen there would know if there’s some potential violence in there. And that the president’s got to be protected.’
In other words, at least some Congressional Republicans continue to prove their cowardice, while Trump’s abuses of power run rampant in the United States.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-02--Lindsey Graham Surprisingly Goes Against Trump Over Protest Tactics

At a Tuesday Senate hearing that was , on paper at least , geared towards the topic of prison safety in light of the Coronavirus pandemic , Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham ( R-S.C. ) offered a perhaps surprising break with President Donald Trump while discussing the unrest that has erupted following the police murder of a black man named George Floyd in Minneapolis , Minnesota .
Trump and some of his allies have tried — without any apparent evidence — to pin most or all of the blame for the unrest on the “ Radical Left ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t even a centralized organization — it just means “ anti-fascist.
” Graham insisted that the problem is not “ Antifa ” — and pointed to Obama-era policing reforms as a good roadmap for the path ahead .
Noting that the original incident in which Floyd was murdered was “ outrageous on its face , ” Graham added that he thinks it “ speaks to a broader issue , ” explaining : ‘ The answer is pretty obvious .
Community policing is the antidote to this , where there ’ s a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those who are being policed… As to what ’ s happening in terms of violence , I think most protesters are out on the street to lend their voice for change .
The rioting and looting is not helping the cause at all , and it ’ s got to come to an end .
Antifa : I ’ m sure there ’ s a part they play , and we ’ ll try to figure out how organized this violence is , but I ’ m old enough to remember 1968 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not around in 1968 that I know of .
What happens is… when people get mad and angry , and somebody breaks a window , other people follow in-kind .
This is a phenomenon that ’ s happened for a very long time.
’ This perspective is very different from what the president has said .
As recently as Tuesday morning , he ranted on Twitter about the supposed “ lowlifes ” who ’ ve turned out for protests in places like New York City , and he ’ s also responded to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declare Antifa a terrorist organization — although one , it ’ s not a centralized organization , and two , there ’ s no law under which he could actually do that .
He has largely refused to acknowledge the concerns about police brutality that have driven the protests , which have largely been peaceful outside of provocations by police .
In contrast , Graham did acknowledge the underlying issues .
He said : ‘ The overwhelming issue for us is after you stop the rioting , which we will , what are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that led to the protest ?
I think this committee has a unique opportunity to build on some things that the Obama administration did , and ask ourselves some hard questions.
’ He explained on Tuesday that the Judiciary Committee would be holding a hearing on issues related to the unrest in coming weeks .
Trump has yet to announce any kind of policy plan for dealing with the concerns that have driven the protests .
Instead , he has staged spectacles like the occasion on Monday when cops attacked peaceful , legal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a photo op at a local church without much of anyone around .
Trump tried to use the occasion to depict himself as tough — or something .
In reality , he ’ s a coward .

A Twitter account that tweeted a call to violence and claimed to be representing the position of "Antifa" was in fact created by a known white supremacist group, Twitter said Monday. https://t.co/1wI52nzmED — KTLA 5 Morning News (@KTLAMorningNews) June 2, 2020
Noting that the original incident in which Floyd was murdered was “outrageous on its face,” Graham added that he thinks it “speaks to a broader issue,” explaining:

The word “antifa” is a contraction of anti-fascist, an ideology that few people left of Mussolini oppose. Trump cannot declare antifa a terrorist group because the US has no domestic terrorism law. It's also not an organization, let alone a terrorist one. https://t.co/ymd1QRtdf4 — WIRED (@WIRED) June 2, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-06-03--Jimmy Carter Gives Statement Of Hope That Trump Never Could

President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Roselynn spend much of their time building homes for Habitat for Humanity , which is pretty awesome for a couple in their 90 ’ s .
Yet , that is not all they do .
Before he retired from circling the globe , the president went .
to countries to serve as a guardian against voter intimidation .
Today , the couple released a statement about five decades of racism .
President Carter said , “ our hearts are with the victims ’ families and all who feel helpless.
” He condemned the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” ‘ Rosalynn and I are pained by the tragic racial injustices and consequent backlash across our nation in recent weeks .
Our hearts are with the victims ’ families and all who feel hopeless in the face of pervasive racial discrimination and outright cruelty .
We all must shine a spotlight on the immorality of racial discrimination .
But violence , whether spontaneous or consciously incited , is not a solution.
’ Then , he became the voice of wisdom .
He said “ violence whether spontaneous or consciously incited is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Georgia , and as world leaders , they have a deep understanding of “ segregation and injustice.
” When he became governor in 1971 Carter said the “ time for racial discrimination is over.
” Yet five decades later , he added “ with great sorrow and disappointment , I repeat those words today : ” ‘ As a white male of the South , I know all too well the impact of segregation and injustice to African Americans .
As a politician , I felt a responsibility to bring equity to my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1971 inaugural address as Georgia ’ s governor , I said : “ The time for racial discrimination is over.
” With great sorrow and disappointment , I repeat those words today , nearly five decades later .
Dehumanizing people debases us all ; humanity is beautifully and almost infinitely diverse .
The bonds of our common humanity must overcome the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.
’ The couple ’ s message continued , reminding people that “ silence can be as deadly as violence.
” He called for people of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” to say “ no more.
” No more to the “ discriminatory police and justice system.
” They labeled the “ disparities between whites and blacks ” as “ immoral.
” Then , the presidential couple reminded Americans about their place in history along with that of their government : ‘ Since leaving the White House in 1981 , Rosalynn and I have strived to advance human rights in countries around the world .
In this quest , we have seen that silence can be as deadly as violence .
People of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must stand up and say “ no more ” to a racially discriminatory police and justice system , immoral economic disparities between whites and blacks , and government actions that undermine our unified democracy .
We are responsible for creating a world of peace and equality for ourselves and future generations.

President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Roselynn spend much of their time building homes for Habitat for Humanity, which is pretty awesome for a couple in their 90’s. Yet, that is not all they do. Before he retired from circling the globe, the president went. to countries to serve as a guardian against voter intimidation. Today, the couple released a statement about five decades of racism.
President Carter said, “our hearts are with the victims’ families and all who feel helpless.” He condemned the “racial discrimination and outright cruelty:”
‘Rosalynn and I are pained by the tragic racial injustices and consequent backlash across our nation in recent weeks. Our hearts are with the victims’ families and all who feel hopeless in the face of pervasive racial discrimination and outright cruelty. We all must shine a spotlight on the immorality of racial discrimination. But violence, whether spontaneous or consciously incited, is not a solution.’
Then, he became the voice of wisdom. He said “violence whether spontaneous or consciously incited is not a solution.” The couple lives in Georgia, and as world leaders, they have a deep understanding of “segregation and injustice.” When he became governor in 1971 Carter said the “time for racial discrimination is over.”
Yet five decades later, he added “with great sorrow and disappointment, I repeat those words today:”
‘As a white male of the South, I know all too well the impact of segregation and injustice to African Americans. As a politician, I felt a responsibility to bring equity to my state and our country. In my 1971 inaugural address as Georgia’s governor, I said: “The time for racial discrimination is over.” With great sorrow and disappointment, I repeat those words today, nearly five decades later. Dehumanizing people debases us all; humanity is beautifully and almost infinitely diverse. The bonds of our common humanity must overcome the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.’
The couple’s message continued, reminding people that “silence can be as deadly as violence.” He called for people of “power, privilege, and moral conscience” to say “no more.” No more to the “discriminatory police and justice system.” They labeled the “disparities between whites and blacks” as “immoral.” Then, the presidential couple reminded Americans about their place in history along with that of their government:
‘Since leaving the White House in 1981, Rosalynn and I have strived to advance human rights in countries around the world. In this quest, we have seen that silence can be as deadly as violence. People of power, privilege, and moral conscience must stand up and say “no more” to a racially discriminatory police and justice system, immoral economic disparities between whites and blacks, and government actions that undermine our unified democracy. We are responsible for creating a world of peace and equality for ourselves and future generations.’
President Carter ended with a stern reprimand for the entire government “we are better than this:’
‘We need a government as good as its people, and we are better than this.’

In one Public Policy Polling survey that was completed in the state in April, Biden actually had a one percent lead, finishing with 47 percent of the support compared to 46 percent for Trump. In a Dallas Morning News survey completed that same month, Trump and Biden were tied in the state; each candidate nabbed 43 percent of the support. Overall, RealClearPolitics reports, Trump leads in the sparse polling that’s been conducted by an average of just 2.2 percent.
In this case, Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy comments:
‘Too tight to tell in Texas. As the country confronts chaos and COVID-19, perhaps one of the most important states of all is a toss-up.’
The new data also includes measurements of voters’ opinions on whether Trump or Biden would be better at handling the economy, health care in general, and the Coronavirus pandemic in particular. A full 54 percent opted for Trump on the economy, but 49 percent opted for Biden on health care, significantly ahead of the 43 percent who opted for Trump’s health care handling. Coronavirus response had the closest margin — 47 percent of Texas respondents said that they thought Biden would handle the crisis better, while 45 percent said Trump.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-03--GOP Majority Whip Defects From Trump Over Use Of Military

The gaslighting has already begun , but make no mistake : when you saw peaceful protesters gassed and shot at with rubber bullets in Washington D.C. on Monday afternoon , you really saw it .
It wasn ’ t a figment of your imagination , no matter what Trump and his allies try to say now .
On Tuesday , Senate Majority Whip John Thurne broke with President Trump ( for once ) to speak out against his proposed use of the Insurrection Act , which would allow Trump to use military force against his own people .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think that these tasks ought to be relegated as much as possible to the state and local authorities , the law enforcement and police…You got national guard in the states they can activate .
I know there are instances in the past where they ’ ve had to call up active-duty personnel but I think the goal always is to de-escalate , not escalate .
So my view is that ’ s the right call.
’ U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said as much earlier in the day after having made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John ’ s Episcopal Church for a photo-op , which prompted guards to tear gas protesters and shoot them with rubber bullets to clear Trump ’ s way .
Esper insists that it was the D.C. police who conducted the act of aggression and not the National Guard .
He believes strongly that the National Guard , nor any other branch of the military , should be used against U.S. citizens , even during riots .
While most of the avowed military fans in the GOP have been silent on Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Esper and Thurne have asserted their opposition to Trump ’ s planned uses of force against protesters .
‘ As a former soldier and a former member of the National Guard , the option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations .
We are not in one of those situations now .
I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act .

The coronavirus epidemic has killed 108,000+ Americans, 21.7 of every 100 of the people have been unemployed, and countless small businesses have failed. New York Governor Mario Cuomo summed it all up according to the New York governor’s site:
‘These are perilous times.’
Rather than trying to heal a hurting nation, Trump has done his best to stir up racial tensions. He sees a racial conflict as to his advantage, but the polls disagree.
In order for any movement to take hold, there are three aspects of it that are vital:
Participation of the elite, meaning the endorsement of police chiefs and other top officials and community leaders
A strategy for accomplishing its goals.
Long-term, broad participation in the movement.
It appears this movement may succeed. If Trump and his willing Senate will not bring the country together, the people will pick up that mantle, along with the support of the states, and carry it forward.
Trump’s disapproval rating as compiled by 538 was higher than in the previous six months, 54.4 percent. His approval rating was 42.6 percent. That was 11.5 percent lower than any time in the past five months. The Newsweek magazine wrote:
‘Morning Consult put voter disapproval of Trump’s coronavirus response at 53 percent on June 1, matching the previous high in March. Approval of his response was just 41 percent.’
As the wave of protests gripped the country, the issue quickly became about far more than one man’s death, although Goerge Floyd has become a powerful symbol of that movement. Racial inequality did not go away with the Civil Rights movement. It went underground. The number of people of black deaths due to the coronavirus has been dramatically higher than white deaths.
There were a number of reasons behind that difference, but one fact was that many of the “essential workers” who made up much of the nation’s framework were people of color.

Then by night, a small group of looters and vandals did their own dirty work — completely separate from the peace lovers.

Trump tweeted Monday:
‘D.C. had no problems last night. Many arrests. Great job done by all. Overwhelming force. Domination.’
Derek Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the homicide of Floyd. The family has been told that the other three police involved will be arrested, too. All charges can be upgraded.
Americans did not approve of Trump’s handling of the pandemic either:
‘The Trump administration’s response to the pandemic was not viewed favorably by the American public, polling suggested. Issues around delays to testing, a lack of medical and protective equipment, and Trump’s controversial remarks about the disease appear to have cut through.’
Trump ignored the pandemic for months after he knew the situation, and he caused thousands and perhaps, ten of thousands of people to die needlessly.
Deputy Press Secretary for Tump’s 2020 campaign Ken Farnaso released at: statement to Newsweek:
‘2016 proved that polling is notoriously wrong and has always underestimated the President and his ability to connect with the American people. President Trump’s America First agenda ushered in an economic renaissance, a renewed national security, strengthened our relationships with our allies, and kept our foes at bay.’
His statement continued:
‘Compared to [Joe] Biden’s dismal track record of record slow economic growth, China appeasement, and communist ideas, Americans know that it is a binary choice between a President who will fight for them versus a four decades-long, Washington elitist who will bow down to global leaders.’
The survey of 1,989 registered voters has a margin of error of 2 +/- percentage points. 538 tracks the polls and weights them per the quality of the research and research methodology.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-04--2020 ‘Registered Voter’ Poll Results Show Historic Double Digit Difference

In the middle of a pandemic , an economic depression , and great civil unrest , the all-important presidential election of 2020 has been on a back burner at a time when the results are most crucial .
No matter what is happening outside our doors , presidential and congressional campaigns are barreling on and history may be made in 2020 .
In a recent poll , the apparent Democratic nominee , Joe Biden , is up by double digits over the incumbent president , Donald Trump .
Trump holds the lead with white male voters , but Biden fares @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans overall .
In fact , his leads with those two demographics may be a game-changer in November .
Both candidates are underwater in terms of favorability ratings , although Trump is 19 points underwater while Biden is just six .
Trump ’ s favorability rating has fallen while his disapproval rating has inched up steadily , while Biden ’ s has remained steady in recent days .
‘ Trump registers a negative 38 % favorable to 57 % unfavorable opinion , which is more negative than prior polls .
The incumbent had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unfavorable rating in May , a 42 % to 50 % rating in April , a 46 % to 49 % rating in March , and a 44 % to 53 % rating in February .
Biden ’ s rating stands at 42 % favorable and 49 % unfavorable , which compares with 41 % to 44 % in May , 41 % to 42 % in April , 43 % to 43 % in March , and 40 % to 53 % in February .
The number of voters with no opinion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ February to 17 % in April .
This has decreased to 9 % in the current poll , with most of that opinion shifting into the unfavorable column.
’ On questions about specific issues , Americans were divided along party lines .
Republicans tend to trust Trump to handle the global pandemic that has so far killed more than 100,000 Americans , while Democrats tend to trust Joe Biden .
More importantly , Trump , as a sitting president , is more affected by the pandemic politically .
‘ Turning to the post-pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation ’ s voters have either a great deal ( 33 % ) or some ( 14 % ) confidence in Trump ’ s ability to deal with the recovery , while 12 % do not have much confidence and 40 % have none at all .
Just over half have either a great deal ( 18 % ) or some ( 36 % ) confidence in Biden ’ s ability to deal with the recovery , while 12 % do not have much and 33 % have none at all…More voters think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outbreak has made it less likely ( 38 % ) rather than more likely ( 18 % ) that he will be reelected in November.
’ Most importantly during this time of civil unrest , Americans tend to hold more faith overall in Biden ’ s ability to build bridges toward improving race relations .
While a number of Democrats expressed unease with Biden ’ s ability to handle this issue , half the country had no confidence at all in Trump ’ s abilities , while only 27 percent had no confidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hold extreme views on both candidates ’ abilities .
Nearly 6 in 10 GOP voters ( 58 % ) have a great deal of confidence in Trump ’ s ability to handle race relations and an identical 58 % have no confidence at all in Biden .
On the other hand , nearly all Democrats ( 89 % ) have no confidence at all in Trump on this issue , but just 32 % say they have a great deal of confidence in Biden .
However , most of the remaining Democratic voters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his ability to handle race relations .
Few independents have a great deal of trust in either Trump ( 12 % ) or Biden ( 13 % ) on this issue , but they are far more likely to express no confidence at all in the incumbent ( 50 % ) versus the challenger ( 27 % ) .

Make it two high quality live phone polls this week that have Biden by double-digits. This one is 52%-41%. https://t.co/D8J1Yjde0h — (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) June 3, 2020
In a recent poll, the apparent Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, is up by double digits over the incumbent president, Donald Trump. Trump holds the lead with white male voters, but Biden fares significantly better with white women, black Americans overall. In fact, his leads with those two demographics may be a game-changer in November.
A Monmouth University poll released on shows that:
‘Biden currently has the support of 52% of registered voters and Trump has the support of 41%. The Democrat’s lead has been slowly widening. It stood at 50% to 41% last month, 48% to 44% in April, and 48% to 45% in March.’
Until/unless Trump improves his standing w women, he’s going to have a hard time winning. Latest Monmouth poll has him down 19 w women. https://t.co/Adox7ialwM — Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) June 3, 2020
Both candidates are underwater in terms of favorability ratings, although Trump is 19 points underwater while Biden is just six. Trump’s favorability rating has fallen while his disapproval rating has inched up steadily, while Biden’s has remained steady in recent days.
‘Trump registers a negative 38% favorable to 57% unfavorable opinion, which is more negative than prior polls. The incumbent had a 40% favorable to 53% unfavorable rating in May, a 42% to 50% rating in April, a 46% to 49% rating in March, and a 44% to 53% rating in February. Biden’s rating stands at 42% favorable and 49% unfavorable, which compares with 41% to 44% in May, 41% to 42% in April, 43% to 43% in March, and 40% to 53% in February. The number of voters with no opinion of Biden increased from 8% in February to 17% in April. This has decreased to 9% in the current poll, with most of that opinion shifting into the unfavorable column.’
NATIONAL POLL: 74% say country is on wrong track, an all-time low in seven years of national Monmouth polling. Up from 60% in last month. WRONG TRACK by PARTY:

Whenever Trump feels cornered , he can always be counted on to take to Twitter to vent his frustrations .

The rant was disjointed and filled with the same kind of lies Trump has been tweeting throughout the day .
President Obama , for instance , did not fire Gen. James Mattis ; he retired in 2013 .
For that matter , Trump didn ’ t fire Mattis , either .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scathing resignation letter criticizing Trump ’ s foreign policy .
Earlier in the day , Trump also claimed he gave Mattis the nickname “ Mad Dog ” when he joined the Trump administration although it ’ s a nickname that the press gave Mattis in 2004 .
It ’ s nice that Trump wanted to give a special shout-out to the Secret Service , but it ’ s rather insulting that he did so in the middle of a bunch of petty attack tweets .
Trump ’ s issue with Sen. Lisa Murkowski @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day that she sides with Gen. Jim Mattis , who is under fire for a new scathing rebuke of Trump over his handling of the protesters in front of the White House on Monday .
Trump , never one to let a slight pass by , had to do what he always does and insult any dissenters on social media .
By the way , 110,000 Americans are dead from COVID-19 , a pandemic that has lasted only three months so far .
A thousand more Americans die every day .

Whenever Trump feels cornered, he can always be counted on to take to Twitter to vent his frustrations. If the number of tweets Trump posts is equal to his frustration in any given moment, Trump’s head is clearly exploding on Thursday evening.
John Kelly didn’t know I was going to fire James Mattis, nor did he have any knowledge of my asking for a letter of resignation. Why would I tell him, he was not… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020
…in my inner-circle, was totally exhausted by the job, and in the end just slinked away into obscurity. They all want to come back for a piece of the limelight! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020
The problem is not the very talented, low-flying helicopter pilots wanting to save our city, the problem is the arsonists, looters, criminals, and anarchists, wanting to destroy it (and our Country)! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020
The rant was disjointed and filled with the same kind of lies Trump has been tweeting throughout the day. President Obama, for instance, did not fire Gen. James Mattis; he retired in 2013. For that matter, Trump didn’t fire Mattis, either. He resigned and issued a very public and scathing resignation letter criticizing Trump’s foreign policy. Earlier in the day, Trump also claimed he gave Mattis the nickname “Mad Dog” when he joined the Trump administration although it’s a nickname that the press gave Mattis in 2004.
It’s nice that Trump wanted to give a special shout-out to the Secret Service, but it’s rather insulting that he did so in the middle of a bunch of petty attack tweets.
Trump’s issue with Sen. Lisa Murkowski comes from her statement earlier in the day that she sides with Gen. Jim Mattis, who is under fire for a new scathing rebuke of Trump over his handling of the protesters in front of the White House on Monday. Trump, never one to let a slight pass by, had to do what he always does and insult any dissenters on social media.
By the way, 110,000 Americans are dead from COVID-19, a pandemic that has lasted only three months so far. A thousand more Americans die every day.
