A recently released poll shows that more Americans trust President Trump to handle the virus response than Joe Biden.
However, more Americans would trust former President Obama to handle the crisis over President Trump.
According to The Daily Caller:
More Americans trust President Donald Trump to effectively manage the coronavirus crisis than former Vice President Joe Biden, a new poll published Wednesday shows.
The Politico poll found that 44% of voters said Trump would be a better leader, compared to 36% who said the same of Biden, the president’s likely general election opponent in November. However, the poll also found that more Americans would trust former President Barack Obama to handle the crisis than either Trump or Biden.
Fifty-two percent of Americans would prefer Obama compared to 38% who would prefer Trump, according to Politico’s survey. The other 10% did not have an opinion or were undecided. The poll was conducted between April 3-5, among 1,990 registered voters, and has a margin of error of roughly 2%.
The president has recently received some high marks in polling. Polls conducted late March by Gallup and The Washington Post found 49 percent of Americans approving of the job Trump is doing, his best approval numbers in his presidency.
It remains unclear what this poll means for Joe Biden and how he will do against President Trump in the November election.
