Trump snips Biden lead in poll of likely Arizona voters

 

August 10, 2020 at 10:35 am

 

PHOENIX – President Donald Trump still trails Democrat Joe Biden in a new poll of likely Arizona voters, but he’s cut the gap again.

 

The OH Predictive Insights poll released Monday found Biden up 49%-45%, but it’s the third consecutive month the Republican incumbent has whittled down the difference.

 

In a similar poll in July, Biden was ahead 49%-45%. In May, he led 50%-43%.

 

The Phoenix-based phone survey of 603 registered voters was conducted Aug. 3-4.

PHOENIX – President Donald Trump still trails Democrat Joe Biden in a new poll of likely Arizona voters, but he’s cut the gap again.

 

The OH Predictive Insights poll released Monday found Biden up 49%-45%, but it’s the third consecutive month the Republican incumbent has whittled down the difference.

 

In a similar poll in July, Biden was ahead 49%-45%. In May, he led 50%-43%.

 

The Phoenix-based phone survey of 603 registered voters was conducted Aug. 3-4.

 

“Arizona has absolutely earned its battleground status,” OH Predictive Insights chief of research Mike Noble told KTAR News 92.3 FM after the poll was out.

Trump made up ground with independents, Noble said, although Biden still led in that group 49%-39%.

 

The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4%.

 

Noble also said another factor in Trump’s improved numbers is spending.

 

“He is outspending Biden’s team when it come to broadcasts in Arizona,” Noble said.

 

Trump’s approval rating went up a bit, from 46% to 47% from last month.

How many insults are Black voters supposed to take from Joe Biden?

 

At this point, wouldn’t a failure to select a Black woman as his running mate be the ultimate insult?

Republican Ron Johnson subpoenas FBI documents amid Senate committee probe into origins of Trump-Russia investigation

 

Published: Aug. 10, 2020 at 1:57 p.m. ET

 

Wisconsin lawmaker’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is one of multiple Republican-led Senate panels scrutinizing the FBI’s investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said Monday that he has subpoenaed the FBI to produce documents to his committee related to the Trump-Russia investigation.

 

The Wisconsin senator also defended a separate investigation he is leading into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Ukraine, even as Democrats say the probe has the effect of amplifying Russian propaganda and as U.S. intelligence officials say they have assessed that Russia is working to denigrate Biden ahead of the November election.

 

ohnson’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is one of multiple Republican-led Senate panels scrutinizing the FBI’s investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Another, the Judiciary Committee, has released a series of documents in recent weeks aimed at discrediting the probe, including material on Sunday that the chairman, Sen. Lindsey Graham, said raised questions about whether the FBI had misled Congress about the accuracy of information it received during the investigation.

 

The subpoena demands that the FBI produce by Aug. 20 the records that it gave to the Justice Department inspector general’s office, which concluded in a report last December that the Russia investigation had been opened for a valid reason but that the FBI had made significant errors during its surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser.

 

The FBI said in a statement that it had received the subpoena and that the bureau had already been producing documents and information for Johnson’s committee. “As always, the FBI will continue to cooperate with the Committee’s requests, consistent with our law enforcement and national security obligations,” the statement said.

 

In a separate statement on Sunday, the FBI said that it was continuing to cooperate with the Judiciary Committee’s investigation.

 

Johnson publicized the subpoena along with a more than 5,000-word open letter in which he sought to explain the basis for his scrutiny of the Russia investigation and to defend his Biden probe against allegations that he was amplifying Russian disinformation.

 

“I felt it was important to provide this explanation of my investigations because of the concerted and coordinated attacks on my efforts that I have interpreted as a ‘brush back pitch’ to deter my actions and preemptively marginalize my committee’s findings,” Johnson wrote in an email.

 

He said he was concerned that the media was preparing to taint his committee’s findings as an extension of Russian propaganda. Democrats in recent weeks have expressed alarm about the probe, and a statement Friday by William Evanina, the government’s chief counterintelligence official, called out by name a pro-Russia Ukrainian lawmaker who has spread leaked recordings about Biden meant to be pejorative.

 

Johnson denied Monday ever receiving information from that lawmaker, Andrii Derkach, or being part of a Russian disinformation effort.

 

“As always, almost all of the documents we are seeking and will make public are from U.S. sources,” Johnson wrote in the letter.

 

The Biden-Ukraine issue is a politically freighted one, particularly after President Donald Trump urged his Ukraine counterpart in a July 2019 phone call to investigate Biden and his son Hunter, who was a paid board member of a Ukraine gas company called Burisma Holdings. That phone call formed the basis of Trump’s impeachment by the House in December. He was acquitted by the Senate in February.

 

Hunter Biden has denied using his influence with his father to aid Burisma, and Biden has denied speaking with his son about his overseas business dealings.

 

Trump and his allies, including Johnson, have raised questions about Biden’s move as vice president in 2016 to pressure the Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who had previously led an investigation into Burisma’s owner.

 

Biden was representing the official position of the U.S. government, a position that was also supported by other Western governments.
