President Donald Trump falls behind Joe Biden in key battleground states: CNBC/Change poll

Показать описание

Voters in six key 2020 election states have little good to say about how President Donald Trump is handling the coronavirus as the pandemic tears through the country, according to a new CNBC/Change Research poll.

As cases spike in pockets of the South and West after states reopened their economies, likely voters in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin believe Trump shoulders much of the blame, the survey released Wednesday found.

When asked to select two people or groups most responsible for the recent increase in hospitalizations, 35% said the president — the largest share among the answers. Trump was followed by “people not wearing masks” at 34%, “states reopening their economies too soon” at 32% and “people not social distancing” at 29%.

The poll suggests many voters think Trump plays a role in the policies and behaviors that have contributed to the flood of infections. A majority of respondents, 55%, said they agree that the president is urging states to restart their economies too quickly in order to boost his reelection prospects, while 45% disagree.

The survey found only 43% of voters agree that Trump is setting a good example and providing accurate information about proper Covid-19 precautions. Another 57% disagree. Trump has drawn backlash for not wearing a face covering in public, a practice his administration says can help to slow infections.

Remember when the New York Times on election night had Hillary Clinton at 95% chance of winning the election? I do 🤣

Dude Trump is so going to win this election... The democrats are making the same mistakes they did in 2016. The Silent majority cannot be polled.

Biden is hilarious when the debates? Can’t wait 😆😆😆

Polls have to be taken with a grain of salt. Believe it or not, but jimmy Carter was leading Reagan prior to the 1980 presidential debates, Dukakis had a double digit lead over Bush in the summer of 1988, and we know about 2016.

What? WHERE has Biden been? Every time Biden speaks I get anxious and worried that he is going to utterly embarrass himself, and I can barely focus on what he's saying because I'm so worried for him. I cannot believe the DNC can think he's capable of leading anyone, much less work a 12-16 hour a day job! Biden has dementia and I suspect in 12 months he will need help just to live a simple retired life...
Quite frankly, this whole ushering out of Biden as a presidential candidate by the DNC is downright creepy.
