NEW YORK – After Donald Trump’s positive diagnosis of Covid-19, Democrat Joe Biden opened his biggest lead over the current president in the polls with the intention of voting a month before the US elections. Among adults who intend to vote on November 3, a Reuters / Ipsos poll conducted on 2 and 3 shows that 51% support Biden, while 41% say they vote for Trump. Another 4% say they choose a third candidate and another 4% are undecided.
Another NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll after Tuesday’s debate, but before the news of the president’s illness, gives Biden a 14-point lead: 53% to 39%, which is an increase of 8 points. . compared to previous research.

The Reuters / Ipsos poll also found that most Americans believe Trump could have prevented coronavirus infection if he had taken the disease more seriously. Trump was admitted last Friday to the Walter Reed Military Medical Center, near the capital, Washington, as a precaution, according to the White House. The hospitalization is expected to last a few days and the White House called his situation “worrying.”

Only 34% of those surveyed said they believe Trump has been telling the truth about the disease, while 55% say he has not; 11% say they are not sure. Regarding the US president’s response to the pandemic, 57% say they disapprove of the measures taken by the government, a rate 3% higher than in the last poll.
Conducted between October 2-4, the poll showed little evidence of broader support for the president other than his main constituency. A month before the elections, Biden maintained his leadership to guarantee the popular vote. But to win the presidency, a candidate must prevail in enough states to prevail in the Electoral College, and some research shows that Trump is almost as popular as Biden in the major states.

– I can say that the most important thing is that now he has no fever and is very well with his oxygen saturation levels. Yesterday morning we were very concerned about this. He had a fever and his oxygen level had dropped rapidly. Yet in typical flair, this president was up and walking, Meadows said during an interview with Fox News Saturday night.
Information that President Trump was not out of the woods and that his health was “very worrying”, not officially confirmed by the White House, was relayed by Meadows on Saturday. Initially, the remarks were attributed to an anonymous source “close to the president,” but a video shows the chief of staff approaching reporters and asking to speak anonymously.
The confusion is a picture of the lack of transparency and contradictory statements by the US government, which only increased doubts about the president’s health.
