Another Poll Shows Biden With Big Lead

By Leave a Comment

A new Garin-Hart-Yang Research poll finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump, 53% to 41%, with a sample whose self-reported 2016 vote is 48% Clinton, 47% Trump.

Also important: 56% say it time for a change and someone new, while just 36% say Trump deserves four more years as president.

From our partner: Incogni

You Already Know Data Is Power

Campaigns buy it. Tech companies monetize it. Data brokers quietly compile it — your address, phone number, voting history indicators, even family details — and sell it to the highest bidder.

That’s where Incogni comes in.

Incogni works on your behalf to remove your personal information from hundreds of data broker databases — the shadowy industry most people never see but nearly everyone is affected by.

I use the service myself and highly recommend it.
