Our new polls have President Trump leading joe biden in one of those crucial three states on the question of the economy. If President Trump today was in wilmington, North Carolina, to celebrate that citys military heritage on the anniversary of the end of the second world war. Biden was in another wilmington, wilmington, delaware, where he took questions for the first time in a while and one about his comments concerning the pandemic. With fox team coverage, correspondent peter doocy with the Biden Campaign in wilmington, delaware, but we begin with correspondent kevin corke at the white house tonight. Good evening, kevin. Evening, bret. With mailin voting set to begin early as next week, you could argue the president s visit there was little more than political theater, but white house officials insist a chance to think the greatest generation for their heroism in world war ii, regardless of location, it was simply too good to pass up. As president ial backdrops go, it was about as good as it gets. President trump today in front of the uss North Carolina, lauding the exploits of americas greatest generation, the men and women who led this country to victory in world war ii, which ended 75 years ago today. It is my tremendous honor to officially designate wilmington, North Carolina, as our nations very First World War ii heritage city. The end of the war was the ultimate triumph of american freedom, the president said, telling the assembled veterans that theyd earned the undying gratitude of all americans. Following yesterdays trip to wisconsin, this was the president s second stop in a key battleground state this week, one in which he actually trailed by three points to Hillary Clinton biden polls just a week before the 2016 election but then went on to win back the state 3. 5 points. Comforting history perhaps especially given that according to the latest fox news survey the president is once again swimming upstream with voters in several battleground states on some key issues, including in the tar heel state, where respondents to the latest fox news poll gave Democrat Joe Biden a ninepoint trust edge in handling the coronavirus. While in arizona and wisconsin, the former vp held a doubledigit lead in the very same category. And while the president posted a strong showing on the allimportant Economic Survey in North Carolina, an eightpoint lead, it was still a virtual dead heat between the candidates in wisconsin and arizona. White house officials insist that if anything was learned from 2016, its that polls can be fickle and misleading. And there are still some trendlines working in the president s favor. Take for example the latest Monmouth University poll where hes gained nine points on biden in battleground pennsylvania over the past six weeks. Or the newest usa today survey that shows bidens lead at seven points, 5043, down from a 12point lead in june. Visit to wilmington was actually his 12th trip to the tar heel state since becoming president and just to give you an idea of how important the state is in 2020, Vice President mike pence mike pence is going to be in raleigh on thursday.

Correspondent peter doocy is with the campaign. For the first time all week, fox news managed to get joe bidens attention. Go ahead. He says that you warned President Trump in january that there was going to be a pandemic and what needed to be done. If you knew that, then why were you still hosting crowded Campaign Rallies in march . What i talked about was not what had to be done. I said youve got to take this seriously. Thats not what he said in july. All the way back in january i warned that this pandemic was coming. I talked about what we needed to do. Once things were shut down and gabriel, biden called trump with ideas. He was very polite, he listened and said he think about it and that was the end of it. Recently rolled back if the Scientists Say shut it down . I would say shut it down. But walked that back today. I got us to question if i was asked to shut everything down, i took that as a generic question, am i going to follow the science. He also remains unimpressed with the way trump works with print congressional leadership. Negotiate a deal. A deal for somebody other than yourself. Fox news polls find that in arizona, bidens lead is built on us generation xers. In North Carolina, biden leads by 4 and is favored by black women and suburban voters. Trump is favored by whites and people in rural areas and wisconsin where biden leads by 8, hes favored by women and suburban voters as trump is favored by men and rural voters. I think my message is getting out based on what all the polling data shows. Democratic donors like what theyre seeing is bidens campaign, the dnc and official committees hauled in 364 million in august alone. How are you going to spend it . Do want to go to dinner . Tomorrow, joe biden is going to head to kenosha, wisconsin, for a meeting with jacob blakes family. He said that his campaign is keeping him safe by booking sanitized planes and scheduling socially distanced events and tomorrows trip does come two weeks to the day from the speech that biden was supposed to give, the acceptance speech at the convention in wisconsin, but didnt.
