First: The national polling average.

Biden is up 6.4 points over Trump in the national polling average on August 8— a healthy lead.

But Clinton was besting Trump by a bigger margin, 7.4 points, on August 8, 2016.

That puts Trump ahead of his place in 2016 by one percentage point, and on the positive side of his 2016 comparison for the first time since May 17.

Second: Favorability.

Biden has a 12.4% favorability advantage over Trump as of August 8— a big number.

But Clinton had an even bigger advantage over Trump on August 8, 2016: 17.7%.

That means Trump’s favorability deficit is 5.3 percentage points better than it was at the same time in 2016.

President Donald Trump’s decision to donate his salary to support causes within the federal government has been admirable, but also noteworthy is that just months after taking office, he donated $1 million of his own money to support hurricane victims.

It happened in August 2017 after Hurricane Harvey ravaged southeast Texas and Louisiana.

The total damage done by the storm was $125 billion, second only to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Hundreds of pro-Trump protesters took to the streets Saturday, marching from West Hollywood to Beverly Hills.

Video showed the protesters carrying “Trump 2020” banners, American flags and a variety of signs, many apparently meant to encourage liberals to “walk away.”

By 2 p.m., around 400 protesters were gathered at the Beverly Hills sign in Beverly Gardens Park, the Beverly Hills Police Department said.

The department had earlier alerted residents to possible traffic issues in the area related to the protest, describing the demonstration as peaceful.

Organizers for the event, #WalkAway Foundation, said the rally is to speak out against the “destruction of property and lives, the villainization of law enforcement, and the weaponization of tragedies.”
