Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The latest NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll said that Democratic candidate Joe Biden had substantial national leadership over incumbent Republican Donald John Trump before Election Day.
Most voters say they are unhappy with the way Trump is handling the current coronavirus pandemic and prefer Biden.
In the final days of the campaign, Biden had a 10-point lead over Trump, garnering the support of 52% of registered voters nationwide versus 42% for Trump. But that number is slightly short of Biden’s 11-point lead in an NBC News / WSJ poll two weeks ago.
Six out of 10 voters say the country is on the wrong track under Trump’s leadership, and most do not agree with Trump’s handling of the pandemic. A majority of 51% of voters said they would not support Trump, while 40% said the same of Biden.
The poll found that a majority of voters, 52%, disagreed with Trump’s job performance, while 45% agreed. 55% of voters agree on how Trump runs the economy. But 57% disagreed with Trump’s handling of the pandemic, while only 40% agreed.
Biden’s main advantage is among black voters (Biden gets 87% of the vote, while Trump gets 5%), voters ages 18-34 (Biden: 60%, Trump: 32%), people older (58% and 35%), women (57% and 37%), Whites with bachelor’s degrees (56% and 41%) and independent (51% and 36%).
Yet Trump leads among white voters (Trump: 51%, Biden: 45%) and white voters without titles (58% and 37%). Trump also has a 1-point advantage among men (48% and 47%).
The survey of 1,000 registered voters, more than half of whom were contacted by phone, was conducted October 29-30 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
More than 92 million Americans cast their votes before the November 3 election, representing 66.8% of the total turnout in the 2016 election, when candidates cast a last attempt to mobilize support in states that are battlegrounds between the two.
