#4 Fox News' Chris Wallace mocks Trump by producing cognitive test he claimed to 'ace' and reveals questions the President said were 'very hard' included 'identifying an elephant' - as POTUS says 'incompetent' Biden would find it tough

#5 Chris Wallace Is Wrong, Joe Biden Does Want to Defund the Police
“It’s gotten totally out of control and it’s really because they want to defund the police, and Biden wants to defund the police,” Trump said in the clip.
“Sir, he does not,” Wallace shot back.
I don’t doubt the “unity charter” between Biden and Sanders makes no written statement about defunding the police. But here’s the problem with Chris Wallace’s fact-check: it’s still wrong.

Joe Biden, absolutely, one-hundred percent, no doubt about it, called for the defunding of police. In fact, it happened just over a week ago -
Joe Biden says “Yes, absolutely!" to “redirecting” police funding and calls them “the enemy.”

#7 Ah, a Hot Air link.

From the ABC site:

While views are similar among registered voters, Biden loses ground on three of these items among those who are likeliest to vote.

Also:

Methodology

This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone July 12-15, 2020, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,006 adults, including 845 registered voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points for the full sample and 4.0 points among registered voters, including design effects. Partisan divisions are 30-24-39%, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

So, less than a quarter of the participants were avowed Republican.

I guess it's possible that GOP registration is actually down to that percentage, but what are the odds?

Nice try, though.
