Poll: Biden holds 11-point lead over Trump
Source: The Hill
Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Trump by double digits in the race for the White House, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday.
The poll shows Biden with an 11-point advantage over Trump in a national head-to-head match-up. Fifty percent of those surveyed said they currently plan on voting for the former vice president, while 39 percent said they would vote for Trump.
"What does the 11 point Biden lead tell us? At best for Team Trump, it says voter confidence in President Trump is shaky, Tim Malloy, a polling analyst at Quinnipiac University, said. At worst for them, as coronavirus cases rise, Trump's judgement is questioned and November looms.
The poll is the latest evidence that Trumps handling of the coronavirus pandemic has put his reelection in jeopardy ahead of November. At the same time, the presidents strongest argument for another term a strong economy has largely disintegrated as the outbreak has caused businesses to shutter and the unemployment rate to skyrocket.

Still, half of those surveyed in the Quinnipiac poll said they approve of Trumps handling of the economy roughly on par with the 51 percent approval he carried in the universitys April poll. The number of voters who disapprove ticked up slightly from 44 percent to 47 percent.
Theres also no consensus on which candidate is better equipped to manage the U.S. economy; 48 percent of respondents chose Biden and 47 percent chose Trump, according to the poll. That still signals an upward trend for Biden, who in last months poll trailed Trump 44 percent to 49 percent.

(21,698 posts)At the depths of the 2008 debacle - with the whole financial system teetering on collapse and Argentina-style lines out the doors at some banks - the smarmy bastard still had around 24% approval.
Die-hard approval, too.
Most Republicans are hopeless.
