‘Incredible Jump!’ Fox News Anchor Shocked By Poll Showing Biden Winning Independent Voters

Fox News’ Gillian Turner expressed shock on Wednesday over the results of a new NPR/PBS/Marist University poll’s finding that President Joe Biden is running ahead of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump with independent voters.

After introducing Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock, Turner marveled at the results of the survey.

“Deroy, let’s start here: Biden somehow managed to make this sort of incredible jump leapfrogging over Trump — he was behind,” began Turner. “Let’s go first to the polling for independent voters — just for the control room — he jumped ahead 12 points. So Biden is now leading Trump by two percentage points among independent voters.”

“I found that pretty surprising. Everything we’ve been hearing would indicate he’d be going in the opposite direction,” she added.

“Yeah, that’s kind of a surprise,” agreed Murdock. “I don’t know if this poll’s an outlier. This is the first poll I’ve seen that shows that kind of a result for Biden. You know, Trump had a very positive response in terms of fundraising and even polls after the conviction in the Alvin Bragg case. Biden’s been having these, brain freezes and so on, that can’t be good for him. And I think Trump has also had a pretty calm and relaxed and, you know, a fairly constructive tone.”

“So why, if all those things are happening, Biden’s up and Trump is down a bit surprising to me. So I’d be very curious to hear if there are other polls that reflect that or if this is sort of an outlier,” he concluded.

Turner went on to note that “it’s not all obviously bad news for former President Trump” since he’s tied with Biden nationally and trusted more on immigration, the economy, and foreign affairs, according to the same poll that has Biden up with independent voters.
