Recent polls have shown a widening gap in support for president Trump. And Joe Biden as the country continues to deal with coronavirus pandemic and widespread protests for the police reform, well, he's benefiting from all that. How are the political tides shifting during this time of crisis? With me is media analyst, David Lamb, one of the best in the country, we can usually, you know, we can count on what you say. You know, I, I totally lost confidence in, in the last cycle. I mean, really they can defend themselves all they want. It was a, it was a, it was a disaster. So let me, let's talk about this. What to you, as you see these trends taking place, I saw a Fox poll of 1300 registered voters. Biden's 50%, Trump's 38% a four point change. What does all this mean right now?

Yeah. So the, what it means is the Trump train is stalled at the depot while the Biden bus is barreling down the highway. A 4% bump, Biden continues that ascent. He is even outpacing, not only Hillary Clinton, much more steady, but as, as his, as, as his poll numbers continue to increase the question for Trump, Trump campaign, Trump supporters, what has to happen to stall that, that, that Biden surge that continues to grow month by month.

Okay. Karl Rove's back.

Right.

The turd blossom returns.

He does.

Okay. We know his, we know what his game plan is.

He's got a bag of tricks.

His bag of tricks, law and order, Joe Biden's brain is fried.

Right.

The Dems are a disaster for the economy. If the Dems win, the entire United States is going to look like Chaz, up in Seattle, Washington. This is this, this is his game plan.

Yeah, it is.

And so what has, what happens with this kind of movement? Fear? Tell me about the fear card. How does it figure?

So here's what's interesting, in that Fox news poll what I found really interesting other than just the numbers, is they were asked about passions and motivations. Take a look at these numbers Pap. So when it comes to the fear of the other candidate, Biden supporters, 63% fear Trump. Trump supporters, 31% fear Biden, which basically nonexistent. Enthusiasm for candidate, 31% of Biden supporters are excited about him. 63% of Trump supporters excited, excited about him. What has to happen is Trump has to demonize Joe Biden. Make him scarier.

He's got to bring up the negatives.

Absolutely.

He's got to bring up the negatives on Biden and this, this game plan, we will see it playing out. I thought it was really interesting, you know, this thing about the Biden's brain being fried, and we've heard that it's, it's, it's just part of the talking point.

Right.

Now to, to handle that. Did you see the ad where they have Biden and Obama running down a hallway? Like we're healthy. There's no problem there. And then we have Trump looking, just decrepit, walking down a ramp.

Yeah.

So that is the, that's, that's part of it. That's the beginning.

That is.

How about the burning of the United States that the United States is going to look like Chaz, up in Seattle if these guys win. Do the numbers tell us anything? Fear.

Definitely fear. That also really affects the, those voters 65 plus. Those voters are so important because they show up at the polls and they have forever. The young voters, the millennials get all the attention, but, but they're much less consistent than those 65 plus voters. Biden has a 10 point lead, which last election cycle Trump won them by 8%. election cycle before that, Mitt Romney won those 65 plus voters by 12. So basically a 20 point switch there.

Gore hit them like 61% or something crazy like that.

Gore was the last Dem to win.
