The lead of Democratic White House candidate Joe Biden widened to 14 points in front of President Donald Trump, according to a poll of voting intention published this Sunday and conducted after his first debate, on September 29, and before the president announced that he has Covid-19.
According to the survey of NBC News Y Wall street journal, he 53 percent of voters support Biden for the presidential elections on November 3, versus Trump’s 39 percent.
Biden’s lead went from 8 points – a month ago – to 14 points, with a higher percentage of respondents than consider that the Democrat performed better in the debate last Tuesday.
A 49 percent of respondents believe that Biden was better in Cleveland’s first presidential debate, up from 24 percent indicating that Trump was the winner. 17 percent believe that no one imposed their message.
Although the debate suffered numerous interruptions between the two candidates, the 73 percent of respondents responded that the debate did not change the direction of your vote, with 19 percent believing that they encouraged them to vote for Biden and 9 percent who leaned more for Trump than before the debate.
The survey, with a margin of error of 3.46 percent, was conducted before it became known on Friday that Trump had been infected with Covid-19, something that could further affect your chances of re-election in the elections of November 3, in less than a month.
The intention to vote at the national level is not a perfect indicator of the chances of victory for a presidential candidate, since each state records a number of electoral votes in relation to its population. According to the average of surveys of RealClearPolitics, Biden leads Trump in all the key states in this election, although in at least two states that advantage is well within the usual margin of error.
