첫 구원등판 오바마의 격정연설…지지층에 "여론조사 안주말라"<br /><br />With less than two weeks until Election Day, former U.S. President Barack Obama has made his first in-person campaign appearance in support of Democrat Joe Biden.<br />And it was fiery rebuke of President Donald Trump.<br />Eum Ji-young has the story.<br />Former President Barack Obama slammed his successor in a blistering speech seen as his most direct attack on President Trump to date.<br />"He hasn't shown any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself and his friends or treating the presidency like a reality show that he can use to get attention."<br />This was his first in-person campaign appearance on Wednesday local time on behalf of Democrat contender Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris in Philadelphia.<br />Obama questioned Trump's tax policies and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and mocked him over reports saying he has secret bank account in China.<br />"Listen, can you imagine if I had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for reelection? You think, you think Fox News might have been a little concerned about that? They would have called me Beijing Barry."<br />Encouraging people to vote, Obama compared the process of democracy to getting in shape through exercise.<br />Results aren't achieved right away, but with persistence, he said, one day you can look like Dwayne Johnson, "The Rock."<br />Meanwhile, election expert Douglas Schoen noted that Biden has a significant lead in the national polls, unlike Hillary Clinton in 2016.<br />He cited a comparison by RealClearPolitics of the poll averages at this point in 2020 and 2016, saying that Clinton was 5-point-6 points ahead of Trump while Biden has a lead of 8-point-4 points.<br />But pollster Robert Cahaly, the head of Trafalgar Group, said polls don't account for 'shy Trump voters' and Trump is likely to be re-elected with their support.<br />Trafalgar Group was one of the few in 2016 that showed Trump ahead in key states on the eve of Election Day.<br />Eum Ji-young Arirang News.<br />
