A new poll shows that only a third of independent voters approve of the way Donald Trump has handled the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, which could be the reason why former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead over the president has grown since last month.

According to the new survey conducted by IBD/TIPP, just 34 percent of independents believe Trump is handling the pandemic well, and Biden now leads Trump by six percentage points, 47 percent to 41 percent.

Some 43% approve of how the commander in chief has been handling the Covid-19 outbreak. This compares to 41% who said they disapprove. But among independents, just 34% support Trump’s coronavirus performance vs. 47% who disapprove.



Likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden saw his lead on Donald Trump widening in the latest poll, even as the number who said they would vote for him dipped slightly. In total, 47% said they would vote for Biden, while just 41% said they would vote for Trump. A further 5% said they would vote for another candidate, 7% were unsure of who they would vote while just 1% opted not to answer.
