One interesting note is sixty-nine percent of respondents are following the news surrounding the sexual assault allegations former Biden staffer Tara Reade has made against Biden. This signals developments in Reade’s allegations could cause damage to Biden’s candidacy. (CLICK HERE to Reade about Megyn Kelly’s Interview with Tara Reade)
