Poor Joe. No wonder Pres. Trump is beating him in the polls

New NYT/Sienna Colleg poll of Iowa Democrats (Oct. 25-30, +/- 4.7)

-Warren: 22%
-Sanders: 19%
-Buttigieg: 18%
-Biden: 17%
-Klobuchar: 4%
-Harris: 3%
-Yang: 3% #IACaucus

Who's worse, Warren or Sanders? I question Sanders health. Warren and booty-gig are or Warren and Klobuchar are probably harder to beat.

3 Reasons Social Security's COLA Has Been So Pitiful Over the Past Decade

Over the last 10 years, the average cost-of-living adjustment has been a meager 1.4%.

For many of the nearly 64 million Americans receiving a Social Security benefit each month, no annual announcement bears more importance than the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). As the name implies, Social Security's COLA is the "raise" that the program passes along to its recipients each year that's designed to account for the inflation they've been facing. I say "raise" with quotation marks because it rarely ever outpaces inflation, and therefore isn't a true raise that would help beneficiaries get ahead.

Between 2000 and 2009, Social Security beneficiaries walked away with an average annual COLA of 3%. But over the past decade, the average Social Security COLA has been downright pitiful -- an average of 1.4%. This includes three separate years where no COLA was passed along (2010, 2011, and 2016), as well as the lowest positive COLA in history, a 0.3% "raise" in 2017.

How has Social Security's most important measure failed seniors so badly over the last 10 years? The answer boils down to three factors.

My wife is on SS and her raises are truly pitiful only 1.6% for 2020 and especially pitiful when her medicare payments goes up.

Will Adam Schiff testify in the hearing??

it will be very hard to achieve due process if there is ducking and dodging, due process is mandatory if the American people are to accept any rendering decision no matter the outcome IMO

I’m sorry if you took offense. It was a broad categorization, but not intended as a slur. Some of my own family are “Bible thumpers” and I love ‘em in spite of our differences of opinion.

no offense taken, I was just pointing out that it is easy for a person to categorize and be labeled as a racist and all that stuff.

todays times are so much different, a person can simply be misunderstood by someone and labeled a bad person.

Bible Thumper is pejorative and no reason not to believe it was used as one in context of post.

"if you took offense" isn't a real apology.

We agree.

Poor Joe. No wonder Pres. Trump is beating him in the polls.

Just curious, why do you continually lie? Do you get the part that it will only reflect poorly on you? Trump is not beating Biden in the polls. Biden is up 6.7% over Trump, last Fox poll had him up 10%

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_biden-6247.html

Go ahead and bookmark that page.

Also, keep in a mind a few things:

Trump might literally get impeached, if he gets removed then we'll see what happens. Maybe just impeached and leave him in, just to get beat by Biden, so double loss.

Biden is not the pick yet, when he is, everybody will fall in line. Obama will be out there campaigning for him etc.

The money will start to flow. You keep talking about Trump money, when some of that is going right into his own pockets, but once the Dems have a pick, the floodgates will open.

Based on the stats, it's unfortunate but likely we'll have more mass/school shootings next year. It'll just remind people what a straight bitch the NRA has made Trump and he has done nothing in this area.

I expect some people are holding on to leaks and are waiting till next year to release them.

November 3, 2020 is election night, so we're 2 days from the 1 year mark.

Today's news:

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Among Republicans Drops to 'Career Low' Months After 'Career High': Poll

Fox News Judge Says 'Proof' in Trump Impeachment Inquiry Is 'Undisputed,' Despite President's 'Hoax' Claims
https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-judge-proof-trump-impeachment-inquiry-undisputed-1469212

Some tidbits, some that I have already literally posted earlier:

"The judicial analyst warned Republicans to be "careful what they ask for" going forward because of the overwhelming evidence against the president."

"Their defense of the president has addressed process, not proof," Napolitano wrote. "The proof is largely undisputed, except by the president himself. It consists of admissions, testimony and documents, which show that Trump sought to induce the government of Ukraine to become involved in the 2020 presidential election."

He added that it's a "mouthful of facts to swallow in one bite, but the legal implications are straightforward and profound."

President Trump's campaign saw a surge of donations after house announced their non-impeachment, impeachment vote yesterday.

$3 million in one day.

Didn't someone buy newsweek for a $1?

Those 2 links don't even work. Then the @Politics_Polls you just used, just go right to their page:

https://twitter.com/Politics_Polls

I found the last Trump vs. Biden tweet from Oct 30, just 2 days ago:

2020 National GE:
Biden 41% (+5)
Trump 36%

Last time I looked 41 > 36

Just use the legit link I posted earlier. It averages all the major polls, keeps track of all the major polls

@Politics_Polls

@Suffolk_U

Where is that from? Because this one is from 30 minutes ago - https://twitter.com/Politics_Polls/status/1190348055532494849

2020 National GE:
Generic Dem 48% (+7)
Donald Trump 41%

Again 48 > 41

So using your own sources, Generic Democrat Candidate beats Trump, Biden beats Trump.

Like I said, this is very easy, just bookmark this page - https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_biden-6247.html

Polls from:
CNN
FOX
Rasmussen - Trump's personal favorite
Emerson
SurveyUSA
Quinnipiac
IBD/TPP
ABC News
etc

-------
I just checked that Suffolk poll you used, not once did they ask Biden vs. Trump, not once.

Trans-women ( men ) are breaking world records in women's sports. Zealots insist men are really women and should be allowed to compete.

Weird there are no trans-men ( women ) competing and breaking records ( or even winning ) in men's sports. It almost like the sexes are different.

You do realize that you're gonna offend a lot of Liberal Loonies with that statement, don't you?

I'm sorry you're losing your mind and doubling down on lying. How pathetic are you? It's a Suffolk poll that didn't mention Biden once. And I posted recent stats, ones you dodged.

This is a lie - "Poor Joe. No wonder Pres. Trump is beating him in the polls."

You have not posted anything showing Trump beating Biden in a poll. It's literally the opposite.

Normal stuff. They're all going to drop out except 1. Beto sucked anyway. They should all drop out except Biden and Warren.
