A poll conducted by FitRated.com found that the majority of 1,000 people surveyed think Joe Biden would beat Donald Trump in a boxing match.
Those who follow presidential polls know that Donald Trump is trailing presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the general election. The current president obviously has a fight on his hands as we approach November.
But what if it were a different kind of fight? What if it were, you guessed it, a boxing match?
Trump, 74, is a legitimate heavyweight at 6 feet, 3 inches and an estimated 240 pounds. Biden, 77, is a reported 6 feet and 160 pounds, which would make him a middleweight and an underdog because of the stark size different.
Still, a poll conducted by FitRated.com found that the majority of 1,000 people surveyed think Biden would defeat Trump in a boxing match. And it wasnât close: 58.9% for Biden, 41.1% for Trump.
Biden had an even bigger advantage among fellow Democrats, 76% to 24%. Meanwhile, Trump had an edge of 68% to 32% among Republicans.
Those who took part in the poll evidently chose the wiry Biden’s quickness over Trump’s brawn. Or could politics have played a role?
If it makes the president feel better, similar polls had him defeating former Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg and Amy Klobuchar in the ring. Pete Buttigieg, 5-foot-10 but only 38 years old, was picked to beat Trump.
How would you do on the cognitive test Pres. Trump said he aced?
President Donald Trump was all about boasting the success he had on a cognitive test in an interview with FOX’s Chris Wallace.
He challenged Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to try and do as well as he did.

In quote tweeting Westbrook’s charity donation, the former U.S. vice president said the character of American people is on full display.
Earlier this week, Houston Rockets star and Los Angeles native Russell Westbrook made a donation to the City of Los Angeles Angeleno Fund, organized by the cityâs mayor to help needy families through the financial hardship of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
On Wednesday, Westbrook was recognized for his efforts by former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who is currently the 2020 frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.
On his Twitter account, Biden quote tweeted Westbrook’s video announcement with the following message:
The character of the American people is on full display across the country. In the middle of a crisis, folks are stepping up and doing what they can to help out those in need.
The character of the American people is on full display across the country. In the middle of a crisis, folks are stepping up and doing what they can to help out those in need. The Angeleno Campaign, led by my friend Mayor @EricGarcetti, is a great example of the work being done. https://t.co/eo8GGH6hmG

“Too many Angelenos need our help, now more than ever,” Westbrook wrote in an Instagram message accompanying his video.
“Visit mayorsfundla.org/Angeleno to help families experiencing extreme financial hardship during this pandemic,” Westbrook added. “Many of those in need are immigrants or independent workers who are ineligible for other benefits. Weâre all in this together.”
