A new poll conducted by ABC shoes Joe Biden with a double-digit lead over President Trump.
According to The Daily Caller:
Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by 10 points in the latest 2020 election poll from ABC and The Washington Post.
53% of registered voters who responded to the poll selected Biden as their choice for president, compared to 43% for Trump. The 10-point separation marks Biden’s largest lead since October 2019, as Trump had brought the gap to just two points in late March.
The president’s boost and subsequent slump was likely attributed to public perception of his administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. 51% of respondents approved of Trump’s coronavirus response in March, yet that figure slipped to 46 in May. Those who disapproved rose from 45 to 53% across that same timeframe.
Trump voters appear to have stronger support for their preferred candidate compared to their Biden counterparts, however. 87% of Trump voters would vote for him “enthusiastically” while just 74% of Biden voters answered the same.
The poll comes as violence grips American cities from the George Floyd protests and riots and President Trump remains largely silent.
